SAT and ACT PREP from the VA Dept. of Education

The Virginia Department of Education is pleased to announce statewide availability of a test preparation module through VirginiaMentor at www.virginiamentor.org.  The VirginiaMentor Test Prep feature provides easy-to-use tutorials for each subject area covered by the ACT, the SAT, and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE).  This new feature on the VirginiaMentor Web site is funded through the Commonwealth’s National Governors Association (NGA) Honor States grant and is available to all students preparing for these key tests.

 Students may establish accounts on the site by pressing the “Create an Account” button under the VirginiaMentor logo at the top of the main page.  Students will then have access to customized test preparation courses.  The Web sites feature a series of tutorials covering all the subject areas and/or question types seen on the various tests.  Each tutorial provides between 30 and 90 minutes of instructional material.  Students are able to refine their academic skills by working through practice questions in each subject or question type.  Practice sessions dynamically adapt to each user's response patterns, providing questions that are tailored to each student’s ability level.  At the end of each practice session students receive a percentile ranking. 

Users will have their own personalized test preparation home page that will record their progress across a number of different categories and include comparative performance ratings.  Students will also be able to select a parent, teacher, or counselor as "coach” who will be able to monitor the student's performance and receive e-mail updates about the student's progress.
