College Admissions Testing (ACT/SAT/CLT)
November 20 - Practice ACT
This ACT practice administration is for students who have never taken an ACT or for students who have taken the ACT, and have been working on improving their scores. The practice test will be administered in a testing environment, and tests will be scored immediately. After taking the PSAT and a practice ACT, students should know their test preference and so they can focus their test preparation on one or the other. Sign up HERE so we can prepare the right amount of testing materials.
