Proctored Practice SATs and ACTs

Proctored practice tests are a critical component of the test prep process. There is no better practice for the SAT or ACT than taking a practice test in a realistic testing environment. We encourage our students to come in regularly for proctored tests, and we always offer them free of charge. We proctor free practice SATs and ACTs at least once a week, every week of the year.
