Do You Remember the SATs?
Standardized tests have always come easy for me, thanks to my teacher at Middlesex Jr. High, Mr. Frank Keen, Sr., who gave me the following advice about multiple choice: analyze the question, kick out the for sure wrong answers and make an educated guess.
It wasn't until I took the GREs the second time that I bought a study book and worked my way through it, discovering then that there were many more tricks to getting a higher score than I had realized before. With all that a graduating senior has riding on their SAT scores these days, it really helps to study up and take practice tests before taking the one that counts.
The library has subscribed to two online study services so that you and your kids can prepare! Try them both out, and let us know what you think, and how you do on your tests!
Learning Express Library
Practice Tests for the SAT, GRE, MCAT and many more are available via this subscription database. Sign up using your library barcode and then log in as a returning user the next time. If you are interrupted in the middle of a practice test or course, it is automatically saved and you can return to complete it later.
PrepMe: The SAT Preparation Course
The PrepMe SAT preparation course offers 40+ hours of instructional content, practice quizzes, and full length tests.
All you need is your Darien Library Card barcode number to log in.
