Huntington Learning Center - "Free practice test on either the SAT or the ACT "
Saturday, February 13, 2010
9am - 12:30pm

Huntington Learning Center is offering high school students a free SAT or ACT practice test, with the analysis and conference included as well.

You know how important and enriching a college education is. But getting into college is tough these days. The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated that the number of college-bound high school seniors will grow by 15% between 2001 and 2009. Acceptance at some top schools has fallen to as low as 10% of submitted applications. As one of the most important criteria in college admissions, the ACT/SAT Exams are arguably the most important test a student will ever take! Because of this, many students will seek to maximize their performance by taking an ACT/SAT Exam Prep course. At Huntington Learning Center, we help college-bound students improve their chances for acceptance to the college of their choice.
