This guide is designed as a resource for (1) Oklahoma teachers, counselors, and parents, to help them help their students prepare for the ACT assessment; and (2) students, to help dispel some common myths and misunderstandings as they prepare for the test. Section A, for administrators, teachers, counselors, Indian program staffs, and Johnson-O-Malley parent committees considers basic premises about test preparation, the objectives of preparation activities, how to help students prepare for the ACT, and how to address test anxiety. Section B illustrates some common misconceptions that students hold about the test. Section C contains test-preparation materials and the structure for a self-initiated, self-directed ACT-preparation plan. Section D contains a series of fact sheets that are useful for anyone involved in test preparation. Materials in Section E, "Resources," are designed to help students and their parents find currently available test-preparation resources. Eight commercial publications, ACT-prepared materials, university-based preparation programs, school-based programs, and Oklahoma Indian Tribal Higher Education Offices are listed. (SLD)
