What do you do to prepare for the big game? Or the school play? Or a band concert? You practice. The same should hold true when preparing for college entrance exams.

Your score on the ACT can help determine the amount of financial aid you’ll be eligible for and can be the deciding factor for gaining entry into the school of your choice. So to make sure you’re prepared come test day, it's a good idea to practice, just as you would for anything else.

Once you're logged into SDMyLife, you can find background information about the different college entrance exams.
