Free “Act” Practice-Test Session At Cinco Ranch Branch Library

Representatives from Princeton Review will conduct a free practice ACT® test at Fort Bend County Libraries’ Cinco Ranch Branch Library, on Saturday, August 11, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in the Meeting Room of the library, located at 2620 Commercial Center Blvd in Katy.

Students will take a full-length practice ACT test to gain experience and become better prepared for the actual test. The test takes 3.5 hours, including administration instructions and breaks. Actual testing time is 2 hours and 55 minutes. Students should bring two #2 pencils. Examinees may bring any 4-function, scientific, or graphing calculator, as long as it is not on the prohibited list shown in the ACT Calculator Policy.

Used by U.S. colleges to determine admissions and to award scholarships and grants, the ACT® test assesses high school students’ general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice test covers four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, science, with an optional writing section.

The session is free, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Registration will end on August 10.
