Test Prep: So Much to Choose From

Now that you've decided to buckle down and get ready for your college admission tests, all you have to do is decide how you're going to prepare. Perhaps you think you can keep it all under control by reviewing your notes from the last few years of school, but there are better ways to get it done. A structured test prep book or class will definitely do a better job of familiarizing you with what you need to know.

Whatever you decide to go with, make sure the test prep method you choose covers current test formats. Several tests have seen recent revisions and there's a good chance there are still items out there that haven't been pulled from the shelves — particularly in places like libraries. They'll probably still hit many of the main points, but they won't have the information you need on the new changes.

There are several options to choose from. Decide what fits your style so that you'll stick with it! 

Freebies
Your counseling office, as well as the test agencies themselves, should have brief written materials available for free. Some are pretty good at covering basics like test-taking tips, prep strategies, and practice tests. This is stuff you need to know, but if you have weak areas you need to hone in on, they aren't enough to cover what you need.

Test preparation manuals
Walk into any large bookstore and you'll find an entire section devoted to test prep — it seems like there are books for every kind of test.
