​SAT/ACT Test Prep Workshops

Test prep workshops prepare students for the SAT and ACT tests. Prior participants who once considered themselves bad test-takers easily increased their scores to earn Bright Futures scholarships and even enter prestigious colleges and universities (MIT, Harvard, and Stanford)!

Classes include math, grammar and reading practice test sections and intensive test-taking strategies. The main focal components include fundamentals, technique, recognition/reaction, and timing manipulation. The 10-hour intensive program is comparable to that of an expensive ACT or SAT test-prep course.

S​tudents are encouraged to register, attend all classes and complete all homework assignments for optimal success. SAT/ACT Test Prep Workshops are sponsored by the​ ​Broward Public Library Foundation and presented by Affordable College Solutions.
