Sharpen your test-taking skills with a free, full-length practice ACT. In partnership with C2 Education of Newport Beach, the Newport Beach Public Library will host a free ACT practice test on Saturday, March 31 at 9:30am.
The test will be held in the Friends Meeting Room of the Central Library and will last approximately four hours. Students do not need to bring pencil or paper but can bring a calculator if they wish. Results will be presented at a separate results program on Wednesday, April 11, at 7pm.
This is a free event but registration is required and space is limited. When you register online, you will receive a confirmation email from this email address: noreply@newportbeachca.gov. Please add that email address to your contacts or check your junk or spam mail if you don't receive a confirmation.
Should there be openings on the day of the test, we will be accepting walk-ins on a first-come, first serve-basis.
Please note that if you signed up on our website for the wait list and are not contacted about an open space prior to the test day, you will need to come into the library as a walk-in on the morning of the test. The library opens at 9 am and we would recommend showing up soon after opening to increase your chances of getting a spot, if some become available.
If you have any questions regarding your registration, please contact us at teenservices@newportbeachca.gov.
