 Mock College Tests
Mock testing is an opportunity for students to take a
full length mock SAT or mock ACT. Please remember these mock test experiences
are NOT official test administrations.
Taking a mock SAT or mock ACT is a valuable exercise that can help to
increase a student’s performance on the actual SAT or ACT. Westview PTSA has
teamed up with Revolution Prep to offer students the opportunity to take a mock
SAT or mock ACT, which will include a complete mock exam including an
essay. All sections of the mock exam will then be graded by Revolution
Prep.
Once students register for a mock exam by calling Revolution Prep, they will be
emailed a 6-digit ID number which they will need to bring with them to the mock
exam and also use to retrieve their score reports online approximately 10 days
following the exam.
The next Mock SAT and Mock ACT will be held at Westview during fall
2009.
Parent/Student Session
Immediately following the testing, Revolution Prep hosts a same-day
information session for parents and students. Parents join students for a test
comparison workshop that gives a thorough overview of each college
entrance exam and a test strategies workshop that covers Revolution
test-taking strategies.
For those of you who cannot attend this event, you may
contact Revolution at (877) 738-7737 to schedule a one-on-one phone
score report consultation with one of our instructors.

FAQs
What is mock testing and who should take the tests?
Westview PTSA and Revolution Prep Services are offering mock tests
for
SAT and ACT. These tests give students a
chance to take tests, receive their scores, and learn valuable
strategies to utilize before they take the real SAT and ACT tests. These
tests do not get sent to colleges and give students a chance to get
accustomed to standardized tests prior to taking actual exams.
We highly recommend all sophomores take the real PSAT given in
October of each year (sign up is at registration in August). Then, in
their sophomore and junior year they will be ready to take
both the mock SAT and ACT so they are ready in their junior year to take
the real tests. If you have taken a
mock SAT or ACT, please check with Revolution Prep Services to verify
the test code. This will avoid receiving a test you have already taken!
SAT
• Four-hour test with sections in math (including geometry), reading
comprehension, grammar and writing.
• Either an SAT or ACT score is required for admission to America’s four-year
public and private colleges.
• Many schools will accept a student’s best score while others average multiple
scores.
• Contrary to popular belief about standardized tests, you can study for the
SAT! Revolution Prep Services students benefit from an average score improvement of 200+
points.
ACT
• Accepted in place of the SAT by every college.
• Includes a science section in addition to math, reading comprehension, grammar
and writing (optional).
• Approximately 80% of students do equally well on either exam.
• Time permitting, students should take both a practice SAT and ACT, and
dedicate themselves to the test they feel more confident with.
