Free ACT & SAT Prep Tests--Feb 20 & March 20

Picture
FREE ACT/SAT Prep Tests - SAT exam Feb. 20th      ACT Exam Mar. 20th   9am - 1 pm
 Take a full-length practice test under timed conditions. A proctored practice exam will help your child build testing endurance and give you a real-time snapshot of their testing performance. This virtual test will give your student the opportunity to work on pacing and endurance in a safe setting that best simulates the test day environment. Students will take the test online with a live proctor through Revolution Prep, and get a baseline score. 
Prior to the test, Revolution Prep will send an email with details on how to access the testing materials, scoring app, and online testing room. Your student will receive their scores immediately after the test via the Revolution Prep scoring app. You are then invited to schedule a score report review conversation, for free, with an academic Advisor at a time convenient for you. During the session, they will breakdown your child’s score to understand areas of strength and weakness and develop a custom preparation plan.
