“Get Experience with the Test—
Without the Pressure of Actually Taking It”

  

 

Biggest Mock S.A.T.
Event of the Year!

 

The next Mock S.A.T. will be available to both Gunn and Paly students!

The Academic Center is now signing up students for the Saturday, January 16th Mock S.A.T. to be held at Gunn High School and proctored by Kaplan.  Students who take the Mock S.A.T. as part of their preparation for the S.A.T. provide themselves with the opportunity to increase their future S.A.T. score.  The Mock S.A.T. gives students the chance to take the test under S.A.T. conditions while building confidence and endurance in test-taking abilities.

Parents and students are invited to attend Kaplan’s test results seminar on Wednesday, January 20th in the AC at 7:00 P.M. in order to learn more about what their test scores mean.  Kaplan will also provide students and parents with more information on how the SAT and ACT play a role in college admissions.  Kaplan will also go over some great test taking strategies to help students succeed on test day.

Space is limited.  The cost for this exam will be $15 if you sign up before December 15.  The cost will increase to $20 for all sign-ups received after December 15.

 

Why Take the Mock S.A.T.?

 

College-seeking students who are required to take the S.A.T. are strongly encouraged to take the Mock S.A.T., at least twice. 

The Mock S.A.T. is a full-length practice test that prepares students for the actual S.A.T. and can identify areas of strong performance along with areas for future improvement. 

Many students purchase S.A.T. study guides and take the tests provided in them for practice.  While they may be a good way to review subject-matter content and improve test-taking strategies, there’s no better way to prepare for the S.A.T. then to actually take practice tests under testing conditions. 

The Mock S.A.T. tests will provide students with multiple opportunities to take the test under similar testing conditions as the S.A.T. while hopefully helping students gain the confidence and endurance required to score successfully on the S.A.T.
