Tools For SAT/ACT Prep

Here are three resources for test preparation.

1- Check out our free, comprehensive database :
  LearningExpress
You'll find it under the Teen banner on the Farmingdale Library website; scroll to Resource Help and Electronic Resources For Teens will pop up to the right. Click on it. Scroll down to Learning Express and click on either home use or library use.
You will find SAT, ACT, AP, PSAT/NMSQT practice exams and career guidance. For details see below:

 2- Another free resource is the College Board SAT practice site. This site helps with registration, understanding the format of the test, and setting up study groups, and it includes helpful posts about test-taking. The College Board has also teamed up with Khan Academy to create some amazing practice and test review components.

The College Board website offers six practice tests that students can download and take. After they complete a practice test, students can photograph the answer sheet with their smart phones and upload it to get their scores using the College Board SAT app for iOS and Android. The adaptive Daily Practice for the New SAT app can then set up daily practice questions in the four tested subjects.

3- Shmoop is another test prep tool.  For a fee, it offers great student support with diagnostic tests, review topics, drills, and four full practice exams. It is not only game-like, but the excerpts are written with humor and flavored with videos.
I urge you to take advantage of any of these resources for test preparation!

RECENT YA RELEASES SET IN THE 1990S

  Tirzah Price   Sep 6, 2023 The 1990s are alive and well with Gen Z! While it might be simple to say that the ’90s are so popular because of the fashion aesthetics or easy access to ’90s pop culture (thanks, internet!), I think the ’90s are such an interesting time period to explore for today’s teens because they look back on a time (although not so long ago!) where our lives didn’t center around the constant connection of phones, social media, and the internet.

But when a falling out and a misstep le...
