Free Test Prep on the Internet
Developing the skills and abilities measured by college entrance examinations is best accomplished over a long period of time through academic courses and intensive study and reading. Short-term drill has no effect. However, practicing sample test items can familiarize you with the test to make you feel more relaxed as you take it. Test preparation booklets with practice tests are available in the guidance office for both the SAT and the ACT. Additional books and software programs are available for use at the school or can be purchased in local bookstores. See your counselor for details. Go to any of the sites below to prepare or to improve your test scores. Try them all because you never know whose system will work best for you.
