Opportunity for college-bound students: Mock (practice) ACT sponsored by the Centennial High School PTSA

FEE: $10, payable online in advance (details below)

Includes free "Scores Back/Analysis" Q&A Session for students and parents at Centennial High School -- Tuesday, March 4, 7 - 7:45 PM

Recent trend: Many college Admissions Offices prefer (but don't require) both Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and American College Test (ACT) scores in an attempt to better assess not only incoming student applicant eligibility, but those students' eligibility for financial awards and financial aid.

The Mock (practice) ACT will be administered in the high school's Media Center under simulated "real-time" test conditions, thus serving as a valuable practice tool that can help students improve test performance.
One-on-one, expert analysis of practice test results during the March 4 "Scores Back/Analysis" Q&A Session can help students and parents identify and understand
student strengths and to focus on any weaknesses; the more students
are aware of the latter, the more they'll be inclined to double-down in
those areas.

TO REGISTER: Visit CATALYST PREP or call (toll-free) 800-235-0056 to register student(s) and pre-pay $10 Mock (practice) test fee via credit card.

Students should report to the Media Center at 7:30 AM  for student sign-in. Students should present a copy of their CATALYST Mock ACT registration confirmation email at sign-in.

CATALYST Prep donates all Mock (practice) test fees to its sponsor, the Centennial High School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA ) in acknowledgement of the PTSA's mission of supporting academic achievement of Centennial High School students as well as sharing such academic achievement opportunities with students from other high schools.

The Centennial High School PTSA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) volunteer service organization serving the parents, students and teachers of Centennial High School as well as its Ellicott City community.
