ACT Prep Book
Chad will have the ACT preparation book, Chad Cargill's ACT Prep, available for
purchase after the workshop.
During the workshop Chad explains how the concepts and notes directly relate to the
discussion and exercises in the book. The book is $30 including tax. The notes packet provided for each
student will have page references to the book as well.
These are for Oklahoma
workshops only. Other states will have to order by phone or from our website unless the items are being
ordered by the school for the students. If students wish to purchase books and/or calculators through the
school, we will add the sales to the invoice sent to the school after the workshop. Schools wanting to do
this, must provide prior notice in order for Chad to make sure he brings the necessary items for sale.
We will not do a practice
test or practice modules during the 3 hour workshop. Our philosophy is that you don't need to pay money for
someone to watch you take a practice test then tell why the answers are right or wrong. You can do that on
your own time, and any of the prep books do a great job of explaining answers to practice problems. The
workshop is totally based on Chad's experience of taking the test 18 times in high school and raising his
score from a 19 to a 32.
My school doesn't have a workshop scheduled, can I still attend?
If your school does not have a workshop scheduled, visit our calendar page to find a workshop at a nearby school. Call the
counselor listed for that school and ask permission to attend their workshop. Parents can attend at no
charge with their paid child if seating is available. Seating is limited at some workshops and priority is
given to paid students.

Fly-to-You Program
Fly-to-You is for workshops that are located outside of a four hour drive from
Oklahoma City. Due to the longer travel distance and sometimes necessary hotel and flight expense the
minimum number of students is increased from 30 to 60. The cost is still $40 per student. Only the minimum
number of students is increased to 60. Although there is no maximum, the limit should be based on the
capability of your facility.
Payment is not expected prior to or at the workshop. After the workshop we will count
the number of students and multiply by $40. We will then complete an invoice for you to be paid at a later
time. If the minimum of 60 students is not met for a fly-to-you workshop, the charge will be a flat rate of
$2,400. All travel expenses are included in the student rate. There are no hidden fees.
Students Check with your counselor on how he/she prefers for you to
pay. Your counselor may want you to pay prior to the workshop or he/she may prefer for you to pay at the
workshop. If you are attending a workshop at a nearby school, contact that school's counselor to see how
he/she prefers your payment.
Faculty Training
Faculty training workshops are available primarily in Oklahoma (other states on a limited
basis).
Summary: The teachers will walk away with a good understanding of what key content is tested on each ACT
and an understanding of testing trends and strategies needed for maximizing ACT scores. We will cover
general testing strategies that can be incorporated in the classroom. Then we will cover all of the key
content tested in English and math as well as trends of the test writers. In reading, we will review general
strategies as well as three different ways to take the reading test. Finally we will discuss the science
section and why I believe this section should not be called science. I'll also add in a lot of scholarship
discussions many of which you can also hear in the student workshop.
Highlights:
- Review of some statistical data showing a correlation between statistically significant factors and
ACT test scores.
- A review of each section of the test as well as general test taking strategies taught in the student
workshop.
- A sample of stories told during the ACT workshop. As with the students, if you are not enjoying
yourself, you probably are not maximizing your learning potential.
- An outline of information schools need to teach students to maximize standardized test scores.
- Finally, an exciting, fun, informational, and very motivational experience.
- Price for a single school faculty workshop is $1,500. This price includes all travel expenses and four
copies of the Chad's prep book titled Chad Cargill's ACT.
- Multiple school faculty workshops are priced on a case by case basis. Generally 2 to 3 school
workshops are $2,000.
- Faculty workshops last 2 hours.
