If your student is considering college after high school and would like to take the SAT or ACT, taking a mock test can help them get ready. Not sure if you should take the SAT or ACT? Take a Mock test of each to help you decide. The PTSA Senior Activities Committee will be offering both mock SAT and ACT tests on four Saturdays throughout the year.
