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.

KAPLAN PRACTICE TEST ADMINISTRATIONS AND SEMINARS: 
Kaplan is a national test preparation company that periodically gives students an opportunity to take a "real" ACT, SAT, or PSAT that is not scored. These sample tests are free, but remember they will encourage you to sign up for an expensive test prep course. Call 1-800-KAPTEST for schedules and reservations. Test are given at UWF.

BOOKS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE:
Many companies sell items for test prep. The best materials are usually those produced by the test makers themselves. 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!

PSC Continuing Education Classes: Call 484-1796 for details and registration info for ACT and SAT Prep courses, which are usually offered on Saturdays.
