High school students looking to get an edge on the ACT and SAT exams can register for free workshops and practice tests to be held at the Aurora Central Library in August.
The library will host a free practice exam for the ACT and SATs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 7, and will hold a free ACT essay writing workshop from 2 to 3 p.m. on Aug. 21. Test results for the Aug. 7 and 21 tests will be returned at a free test results and strategy seminar to be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 21.
All of the workshops will take place at the Aurora Central Library, 14949 E. Alameda Parkway.
The practice exam on Aug. 7 will be proctored by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, and will be a combination of both the SAT and ACT exams. The test will provide a sample of what test looks like and help develop strategies to achieve the highest possible score. Test takers should bring #2 pencils and a calculator.
For the essay writing workshop, students will respond to an essay prompt under timed, test-like conditions. While students’ essays are scored, an instructor from Kaplan will teach score-raising strategies. Test takers should bring #2 pencils.
Registration is required for all three workshops, and participants may register online at www.auroralibrary.org. For more details about the workshops, call Megan Ellis at 303-739-7473.
