Off to College - Preparing for the ACT/SAT

January 09, 2013

So, you're thinking about going to college -- maybe next year, maybe in a few years -- and everyone, from your parents to your teachers and counselors, is hounding you to get ready to take the ACT or the SAT. You know it's a requirement to get into most colleges these days, but these can be kind of scary tests, right? Never fear! Your Library is here!
