Other than a formal test preparation course, what test prep options are available?
The makers of the SAT I, the SAT IIs, and the ACT have free test prep booklets that contain actual test questions for students’ review. These booklets may be picked up in the College Office. Most major bookstores sell books of practice tests with real test questions. These books will give students the opportunity to take several full-length tests at home and will give them advice on taking the tests more effectively. There are also software packages available to help students prepare which may be found in bookstores or through the SAT and ACT Web sites. Students may take a free diagnostic mini-SAT on the College Board’s Web site or go to www.Kaplan.com for further test prep. Some less expensive classes are taught at area libraries in the fall and in the spring, in addition to a course offered at Hawken through Townsend Learning Centers. The College Office will announce these classes as we are notified about them.
