ACT Practice Test **CANCELED**

Add to my Calendar

** Due to the latest surge in COVID-19 cases in the City and County, all scheduled in-person programming at the Newport Beach Public Library will be canceled until further notice. **

We are offering FREE ACT and SAT practice tests in collaboration with Strive to Learn! Sign up to take one of each to figure out which test is right for you. Our goal is to give you the tools you need to face these tests with confidence and knowledge. After you take the practice test, please attend our Scoreback night to help you determine which test showcases your strengths. Additionally, you'll be able to meet with a Strive to Learn counselor to get feedback on how you did, how you can self-study, and ask any questions you have about standardized testing. Registration required.
