Taking The SAT or ACT

  • Most students take these tests at the end of their junior year or the beginning of the senior year.
  • Fee waivers are available (contact your counselor)
  • It is a good idea to take a SAT prep class or buy a practice test book or buy SAT prep software.
  • In the past, Oak Grove has offered low cost SAT prep classes. It is unlikely that this will happen again. Contact the counseling department in January.
  • It is also wise to take the PSAT, a practice test for the SAT. This test is given in October.
  • 2003 PSAT Date: October 18.
    Cost: $18
    (ACT)  www.ACT.org

  • The Univeristy of California is offering a free practice SAT preparation course online. Go to http://www.uccp.org

Hint: If you are having difficulty with the SAT, give the ACT a chance. It is framed differently and
some students have more success there.
