Online testing sites

Its that time again when the library starts to get requests for study guides for the ACT tests. These are very popular books and we never seem to have enough of them because they get checked out and never come back. If you are in a bind and can't find a book, you might want to try some these FREE test-prep resources found online.



ACT Test Prep http://www.actstudent.org/
The most useful part of this site are the "Practice Tests", which provide a substantial set of actual test questions and answers. The site even tells you the next dates the test will be given and where.



SAT Prep Center http://www.collegeboard.com/testing/
This page contains a wealth of excellent - and free - test-prep resources for the PSAT/NMSQT, AP & CLEP tests.



The Online Test Page http://www.saab.org/saab_org.cgi
This site offers tons of practice drills that help students prepare for both the verbal and mathematics sections of the SAT and ACT. The mathematics section includes sample test questions as well as nifty math calculation pages.



Most ImportantSAT Words http://www.vocabulary.com/AOLtopsatwords12.html
Fun, interactive word puzzles, lists of SAT vocabulary words, and links to even more word puzzles to help students with their vocabularies.



Webmath http://www.webmath.com/index.html
For students who feel a bit shaky about the math portions of the SAT and ACT, this is a great site for extra practice. When students click on a given math subject, they'll get to try out the concept by solving problems and equations. The section "math for everyone" is full of interesting and useful online tools, such as how to figure the amount of tips, compute compound/simple inters, and even determine wind chill.
