Combo New SAT/ACT Practice Test

[REGISTRATION REQUIRED]
Register here for the New SAT/ACT Practice test: http://kaplan.formstack.com/forms/ebl_act
Through this unique opportunity, students will have the opportunity to experience more than one college entrance exam in a single test. Results from each test provide a performance analysis for each exam, detailing a student's strengths and weaknesses, and can be used as an SAT and ACT score predictor prior to sitting for the actual exam. Students also receive feedback comparing their performance across the analogous test sections - for example, ACT math section vs. SAT math section. This practice test will also help students know what to expect in a test-like environment and provide a glimpse into the New SAT. Students will need to bring a calculator, two #2 pencils, a snack and water. Score results will be provided to students and families via email within 2 weeks.
