Please complete the following in preparation for our first SAT/ACT prep session:
- Materials
- Please bring to our first and all succeeding classes:
- Please download the following before our first class:
- Practice ACT 2017-2018 by ACT, Inc.
- You'll print this ACT for use in homework assignments; it's a good idea to print it out in advance of our first class.
- Baseline Score
- It's preferable though not mandatory that you establish a baseline score as your starting point for one or both tests.
- If you've taken the PSAT and/or Pre-ACT, your scores can constitute a baseline; be sure to know your scores, including RW/M breakdown, and have access to your score report.
- Otherwise (unless you've already taken a full length practice SAT by The College Board or practice ACT by ACT, Inc.), take one or both of the following as a diagnostic:
- Practice SAT 1 from the Official SAT Study Guide 2018
- Practice ACT 1 from the Official ACT Prep Guide 2018
- Take each practice test as a faithful test simulation; grade, scale, and record your scores accessibly for easy reference.
- If you're already confident that either the SAT or ACT will be your primary focus, you can take just that one practice test. However, I encourage you to make the investment of taking one practice SAT and one practice ACT in order to then compare your baseline scores and the feel of each test.

- Test Registration
- If you already know one or more specific test dates you're planning for, please register ASAP to ensure you do so well before the deadline and get a seat at your preferred test center. Register before our first class meeting if possible!
- Payment
- Please be sure to bring along payment for the program in check or cash to our first class meeting (unless you've already remitted payment to me); I will collect payments before we begin. If you have any questions about payment, please get in touch with me before our first meeting.
