Almaden Branch Library will be offering a FREE SAT/ACT Combo Practice Test on Saturday, January 26, 2013, at 10:30 AM.

The practice test lets you become familiar with the SAT test and the ACT test, giving you more versatility (how’s that for an SAT or ACT word?) than other students.
 

The test lasts about 4 hours and will be proctored by Kaplan. Half of the test will cover the SAT, and the other half will cover the ACT.

The practice test will be followed by a review session at Almaden Library which parents and students may attend on Wednesday, February 6, at 6:30 PM.

Pre-Registration is required for this practice test.

You may register by calling 1-408-808-3040 or by visiting the Information Desk at Almaden Branch Library (open Wed 11-8, Thu 10-6, Fri 10-6, Sat 10-6).

If you know anyone who might like to take the practice test, please pass this message along.
