Test Day Tips
Be sure to follow these important guidelines!
Get a full 8 or 9 hours of sleep the night before and two nights before the test.
Pack water and snacks so you can hydrate and refuel during the mid-test break.
Remember your ID, admission ticket, calculator (with charged batteries), and #2 pencils (bring a few for backup).
Use the restroom before the test starts. We don't want you to be uncomfortable.
Have a nutritious breakfast so you have great energy for the day.
Make sure you know where you're going. There's nothing more stressful than getting lost on the way to your exam!

Take The Diagnostic!
Before students prep, they face the decision of whether to take the ACT or the SAT. As both tests are accepted equally at colleges and universities that require standardized tests, the student should make the decision only after taking timed practice tests of each and then comparing his or her performance.
If you're interested in taking a diagnostic ACT and SAT exam and having us tailor a program to your individual needs, then please email us at diagnostics@winwardacademy.com.
We are committed to guiding every student to a successful outcome through a supportive, positive experience.
