SAT:
Kentucky switched from the ACT to the SAT test over the summer. Some students are feeling a bit anxious about the SAT, so we wanted to share an opportunity for them to take some practice tests. The Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL) provides College Admissions Test Preparation. There are 8 SAT Practice Math tests and 8 SAT Practice Reading and Writing tests available. Please see the KYVL flyer for more information. If you have any questions, contact our Library Media Specialist, Rhonda Bell rhonda.bell@franklin.kyschools.us
