Mock SAT & ACT
One of the best ways to score
higher on the SAT & ACT is by knowing exactly what to
expect from it by sitting through a full length test
under the same testing conditions as the real thing.
Scores are NOT sent to the College Board. Only you
receive the scores. A practice test will help you decide
whether you need to take a prep course before you take
the real thing! Scores are returned to students at a
free review session with a Kaplan instructor who will
offer tips and strategies to improve your score. You may
attend the review session without registering for or
taking the Mock SAT/ACT. If you have any questions
please contact Carolyne Woods at 404-915-6206.
The fall Mock SAT/ACT will take place
on Saturday, Aug. 28, 2010, 9:00 AM-1:00 PM in the
Wheeler Auditorium. Click here for a Registration Form.
