WHAT's NEW
NEW FREE SAT/ACT TEST PREP
Montgomery County Public Libraries Launches
Method Test Prep
Diagnostic evaluations, lessons, quizzes, and full-length exams help students navigate the SAT and ACT by focusing on both content and test-taking techniques. Each lesson is less than five minutes and contains examples. After the lesson there is a short quiz so students can practice the strategies they have learned. All quizzes contain immediate feedback including a video audio and written explanations.
SAT and ACT Program Highlights
- Diagnostic evaluations that establish baseline scores and set goals;
- Weekly checklists that move students through each section of the test;
- Quizzes after each lesson, with instant feedback––like having a tutor on your computer;
- Thousands of questions in the test database;
- Timed full-length exams to simulate the real test;
- Resource materials, like quick prep guides and formula sheets;
- Robust reporting on quiz and test results that highlight students’ strengths and weaknesses;
- A vocabulary builder to improve students’ expertise; and
MCPL cardholders have unlimited free access to Method Test Prep on the MCPL website.
