ACT WORD
OF THE WEEK The ACT Word of the Week is STRINGENT (strin-juhnt). STRINGENT is an adjective meaning STRICT, RIGOROUS, or EXACTING.
For example: While most high school students aren't happy about stringent grading procedures, they will appreciate them when they get to college.
The ACT is next month, and we want to beat Huntley in THE CHALLENGE, so all of you juniors should be preparing in your classes, in the ACT 36 prep. class,
and on your own at home. LET'S CRUSH HUNTLEY!
