Army offers online study program

Students seeking help with preparing for college entrance exams or looking to improve math, English and science skills can do so for free with the March2Success.com online study program, a public service provided by the U.S. Army.

In addition to test preparation materials and self-paced study programs, the site offers seven full-length free practice tests for both the SAT and ACT as well as an entire section dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math coursework.

“More than 70 percent of today’s youth do not qualify for military service, and low aptitude accounts for nearly 10 percent of disqualifications,” said Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Snow, commanding general for U.S. Army Recruiting. “So, yes, this program can help increase the number of young people who are eligible for military service, but more importantly, it helps improve the opportunities for success for all students, regardless of their desired career path.”
