The Welles-Turner Memorial Library is partnering with C2 Education to offer free full-length practice tests for the Digital PSAT, Digital SAT, and ACT for local high school students. Students will get to experience a real test environment and will then receive their score via email.

Testers are asked to provide their own calculator for all practice tests. Digital PSAT and SAT testers must bring their own fully charged laptop or iPad in order to take the test. 

Please be aware that C2 Education will need to collect your contact information, including your name and email address, in order to send test results.
