Practice SAT: Saturday, February 2
Attention
Concordia Prep Classes of 2020 and 2021:
It is strongly recommended that students take the SAT and/or ACT in the spring of the junior year. To give your student a head start preparing for college entrance tests, the Princeton Review will sponsor a free practice SAT at Concordia Prep on
Saturday, February 2 from 7:30 am – 12:00 noon
. (Snow date is February 9). This is a full-length, paper-and-pencil practice SAT. Each student will need to bring no. 2 pencils and a calculator to the test. No calculators will be provided to students. Students may not share calculators.
By participating in the practice test, a student is taking the first step towards improving his/her SAT scores. Taking a practice SAT that is administered under actual test conditions is a great way to learn the pace and substance of the test. The results of the practice test can help a family to decide the kind of test preparation best suited to their student’s schedule as
well as his or her testing strengths and weaknesses.
The practice SAT is free; however, to take advantage of this opportunity, you must pre-register by returning the attached registration form to Kim Grill no later than
Tuesday, January 29.
If you have any questions, call the guidance office at 410.825-2323.
