Summer test prep

I know, I know. The last thing you want to do this summer is study. Especially for such thought-consuming exams like the SAT and ACT. But if you take just 10 minutes a day to look through some of these helpful Web sites, I guarantee that you will feel more self-confident when you are ready to take the exams.

After you go through a rather painless registration process, you can pick which days of the week you’d like to receive a test-prep e-mail. That e-mail has a link to a personalized Web page, a word of the day with definition and related sentence and a log of how much time you spent building your vocabulary on the site that week. Number2.com also keeps track of how many words you’ve mastered after each quiz. That way, you’ll know what you’ve mastered and what concepts you should study more.

www.m-w.com
The dictionary folks at Merriam-Webster have a Word of the Day feature on their Web site. We like this site because it gives the pronunciation, uses the word in a sentence and gives background information about how the word was constructed.

www.collegeboard.com
The College Board is the organization that owns the SAT. Visit for testing dates, fees, test-taking advice and prep. While here, you can also register to take the test and, after you ace it, send your scores to the colleges in which you’re interested.

www.act.org
Go to this site for ACT dates and locations, fees, enrolment information…you know the drill. The official ACT Web site also has first-person diary entries from real college and high school students to give you a feel for the college/career-planning process.

www.soyouwanna.com
This is a well-designed, funny, easy-to-navigate site that will help you with more than just SAT and ACT prep. Go to the education section of the main Web page for a list of topics covered. There you’ll find one that says, “So you wanna ace your SATs?” You’ll be directed to a section that includes general test-taking tips, practice questions and oh so much more. Happy prepping!
