Revolution Test Prep SAT/ACT Practice Tests

Castro Valley High School is partnering with Revolution Prep to provide students with the opportunity to practice taking college admissions exams while remaining safely at home. A proctored practice exam is the best way to get a real-time snapshot of testing performance in order to create a testing plan.

Why take a practice exam? Although some colleges and universities are currently test optional, many students are pursuing SAT or ACT scores to strengthen their applications to test optional schools, to qualify for scholarships, and to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses. Knowing your baseline score will help you make educated choices in the college application process. By taking a practice ACT and SAT exam, you can determine which test you are best suited for. Taking a mock exam is also a great way to determine if taking an official exam is right for you.

When:

• SAT: Saturday, May 7

• ACT: Saturday, May 14

Time: 9:00am – 1:00pm PT

Where: Live online

Cost: Free
