The Princeton Review offers free, timed, practice ACT/SAT tests for students. Call (314) 300-2453 or 1-800-273-8439, or go to http://www.princetonreview.com/ The Princeton Review offers classes in the area, visit www.princetonreivew.com to understand available options.
FREE VIRTUAL PRACTICE TESTS - StudyPoint, Inc.
StudyPoint is offering the practice test events, and since they do so virtually, you can take the practice test from your home. Anyone who participates will also receive a free score analysis that breaks down how you did by section, question type, and content area so you can get a sense for where you might want to do some review prior to the real thing. They run multiple practice tests each week. If you're interested you can view available dates and register for a test at https://site.studypoint.com/virtual-practice-tests.
LOCAL TUTORS OFFERING OPTIONS
The Counseling department keeps a list of tutors that have been recommended from families. Visitation Academy cannot endorse any one organization, but want to alert our community to the options available. A copy of a list is attached below.
