    TESTING

    ACT/SAT INFORMATION

    Both the SAT and ACT test companies emphasize that the best way to improve scores is to take a challenging academic curriculum which includes higher math (at least through Algebra II) and advanced classes in as many areas as possible. Test preparation classes or resources usually serve to increase awareness of test procedures and questions. They also give hints on how to be more efficient in timed situations and how to reduce anxiety as a result of being more familiar with the test.

    BOOKS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE:
    Many companies sell items for test prep. The best materials are usually those produced by the test makers themselves (See links above for on-line purchase). Local bookstores carry resources. Look for ones made by Collegeboard (SAT) and ACT. BE SURE YOU ARE GETTING INFORMATION ON THE NEW VERSIONS OF THE TESTS!
