Why a Mock Test?

A practice test serves two purposes:

  • It provides a baseline score so that students understand their natural strengths and weaknesses.
  • It provides practice with content, pacing, and stamina in a simulated testing environment.

Mock ACT Info

To get the most accurate results, we only use official full-length tests published by the ACT.

Does Educational Connections host mock tests as fundraisers for high schools?

Yes! If you're interested in holding a virtual mock ACT for your school as a fundraiser for the PTA or PTSA, please email Jennifer Stile, jstile [at] ectutoring.com to make arrangements.

Digital Mock SAT Info

We recommend all students preparing for the Digital SAT take the official practice test through The College Board's Bluebook app.

The practice SATs are full-length and adaptive, using the same interface, format, and scoring as the Digital SAT. Students must download The College Board's Bluebook App HERE to take the Digital SAT practice test. The mock Digital SAT can be taken any day of the week, at any time, for free.

Schedule a Free Mock Test Score Report Review Meeting

At this meeting, a Test Prep Specialist will break down your child's score report(s) to help you understand your areas for greatest improvement, which test is best (SAT or ACT) for your child, and help you devise a custom testing and test prep timeline.

*If your child is taking the Digital SAT, please share the score report before your scheduled meeting time. We will send you an email once you book your appointment. Please reply to that email with your child's Digital SAT score report. Click HERE for instructions on how to view and share your child's Digital SAT score report.
