ACT Boot Camp Information

If you are antsy to start preparing, try a mock test, to get a feeling for what taking this kind of test is like.

Fall: Take the PSAT.

Spring: Try both a practice/dianostic SAT test and practice/diagnostic ACT test.

Choose ONE and only ONE test to prepare for, and start preparing.
