Pompey Park to host free practice ACT and SAT Tests

Pompey Park will be hosting free practice testing for ACT and SAT tests from 8:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Pompey Park Recreation Center located at 1101 NW Second St. in Delray Beach. Pompey Park Recreation Supervisor David Ricks said the tests are free and said all students need to bring is pencils and a calculator. The free practice testing is geared for students in grades 8-12.

Ricks said students will receive a score for their practice tests just two weeks after taking the test. He also said the focus is on comprehension so local students can achieve a higher “success rate” when they do take the ACT and SAT tests that count toward their college admission. Ricks also said Pompey Park staff will review sections in future meetings with students, an offer he said will help students improve sections they had difficulty with on the practice tests.
