You will also be provided a link to similar questions. If you answered incorrectly or found the question difficult, you may want to practice using the additional questions to strengthen your skills and knowledge in that area. If you find an area where you are really struggling, go to the online SAT Prep course for additional support.
Designed to assist and encourage students as they prepare to take the SAT, SAT Skills Insight is a helpful, easy-to-use tool that gives high school students a better understanding of what's tested on the SAT – specifically, the types of skills they need to perform better in the classroom, on the test and in college. It provides real SAT questions and answers, suggestions for improvement, and guidance on how students can sharpen their skills, allowing them to become more comfortable with the types of questions they will see on the SAT.
The SAT will be given at WMHS on November 1, 2008 and January 24, 2009.
The ACT will be given at WMHS on December 13, 2008.
*NOTE: ACT offers an optional 30 minute writing test for all 2008-2009 test dates. The SAT writing section is not optional. Be advised that colleges and universities would like to see a student writing sample prior to admission, therefore students are encouraged to sign up for the writing section of the ACT.
