PRESS RELEASE
Ace Academix CEO Jemima Mills is set to officially launch her debut book, The ‘Grade 6 National Assessment Practice Test Workbook’. Designed to give Grade 6 students across Dominica a distinct advantage in the National Assessment Exam, this comprehensive guide is now available for pre-order and will be officially launched on September 15th, 2024.
Grade 6 has always held a special place in Jemima Mills’ heart, as she believes this stage is a pivotal moment in a student’s academic journey. “Grade 6 is where students begin to lay the foundation for their future success,” Mills asserts. “It’s a crucial step, and I want to ensure every grade 6 student has the tools they need to navigate this journey confidently.”
Despite only being in her 20s, Mills has not let this deter her from achieving her goals with Ace Academix, as she believes age hardly equates to expertise. Her dedication to educational excellence and her commitment to providing impactful resources reflect her belief that meaningful achievements in critical fields such as education can be realized regardless of age. Her mission has always been clear: to ensure quality and equitable education opportunities for students not only in Dominica but across the Caribbean.
Through Ace Academix, Mills and her dedicated team of educators have consistently gone above and beyond to prepare Grade 6 students for success. Over recent years, they have introduced well-established and effective preparation classes tailored to the National Assessment Exam, organized the Ace Academix National Grade 6 Mock Exams—which have provided students with invaluable insights into the exam format—and launched Grade 6 summer head start programs that blend advanced learning opportunities with enjoyment. Now, with the release of their inaugural book, Mills and her team are adding another powerful resource to their educational arsenal.
The Grade 6 National Assessment Practice Test Workbook is more than just a collection of practice tests. It encompasses all subjects tested in the Grade 6 National Assessment, including Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Science, and Language Arts. Additionally, it provides detailed notes and exercises on Composition writing—an often challenging but critical component of the exams. Each section is carefully designed to mirror the actual exam format, providing students with practical scenarios and questions. To further enhance their preparation, the book includes answer keys and a free Exam Success Guide, offering targeted strategies and tips for the Grade 6 National Assessment.
This book is the result of a collaborative effort from Ace Academix’s Grade 6 team, who have crafted practice questions that align with the curriculum and exam expectations. This collaboration ensures that the book is not only relevant but also exceptionally effective in addressing the students' needs.
The official launch will be a key highlight of the virtual Grade 6 information session on September 15th. This session, gathering students, parents, and teachers from across Dominica, is part of Ace Academix’s Back-to-School series, designed to equip the educational community with the tools needed to succeed in the upcoming academic year. During the session, Mills will share her insights, discuss the development of the book, and offer guidance on how to make the most of this new resource.
For Mills, the release of this book is deeply personal. “As someone who has walked the same path as these students, I know how critical this stage is in their academic journey,” she shares.
“To not only prepare them through our classes but to also provide a resource that can change their lives is a dream come true.”
As Malcolm X famously said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This book is Jemima Mills’ way of ensuring that every Grade 6 student in Dominica holds that passport, ready to embark on a future filled with promise and possibility. With this resource, students are not merely preparing for an exam—they are preparing for life, paving the way for a new generation of scholars who will shape the future of Dominica and beyond.
Looking ahead, Mills envisions creating many more resources to further support students’ educational journeys, continuing Ace Academix’s commitment to academic excellence.
