Learn How You Can Reach Your SAT/ ACT Potential
Prepping for the SAT and ACT is on the “to do list” of thousands of college bound students. But finding the right resources to help is important and can have a huge impact on the scores and performance of students' taking these tests.Fortunately there are many free and low-cost ways to help students' reach their SAT / ACT potential. Here I have put up a list of excellent resources based on my conversation with admission coaches and experts.
