Test Preparation

Students have many choices that will prepare them for taking the SAT and ACT. Self-study is especially effective for self-motivated and disciplined students. Books, computer programs, and websites are excellent tools to assist students with self-study. Another option is to take classes designed to prepare students for the tests and give them practice with test materials. Students may also choose individual tutoring.

Several test prep centers are located in the St. Petersburg area and have been used by Shorecrest families to prepare for college entrance tests. Selecting the best method to prepare for standardized tests is an individual choice and merits research and planning. The services listed are for your convenience.
