10th And 11th Grade - Sign up for the Practice ACT

Hey Sophomores and Juniors!

Just like Coke and Pepsi are two different brands of soda, the ACT and the SAT are two different brands of college admission test.  All colleges will accept both the SAT and the ACT so I encourage all students to try both types of test in order to determine the one they are naturally stronger in. Then, you can proceed with things like test prep or flashcards or online practice drills to try and maximize your score.You already took the PSAT last month, so . . . .

ElRo is hosting a practice ACT exam through Kaplan on Saturday, December 8th for any interested 10th or 11th grade student that preregisters at: http://bit.ly/eleanorrooseveltact

Registration for the
practice exam will close on Monday, November 26th. 

If this test date is not convenient for you or you prefer to take a practice ACT somewhere else that is FINE. This practice test at ElRo is not required. If you are in 10th grade, we do plan to hold another practice ACT next fall so you'll have the opportunity then. In addition, virtually EVERY test prep company offers free diagnostic exams (for both the SAT and ACT) so just pick one and schedule it if you prefer to go that route. 


Some people will only drink Coke (aka: me) and others prefer Pepsi. Some people can't taste the difference. Give yourself the opportunity to see if one 'brand' is better for you when it comes to college. If both end up being equal, you can pick the one you just plain old liked better.
