SAT Prep Information
Howard County Library’s FREE SAT Prep Class
The Howard County Library offers a free SAT preparation course online.
Launched a year ago, LearnATest allows users to prepare for the SAT,
covering all parts of the SAT: math, critical reading, and essay writing.
Participants must provide a personal user name and password each time they
log on, so the system can keep track of scores and progress. LearnATest
times and evaluates each test taken, and offers suggestions for future
improvement.
LearnATest can be accessed both in the library and remotely with a Howard
County Library card. Go to [ http://www.hclibrary.org/ ]www.hclibrary.org
and click on Research Databases. Next, click on Tutorials, Courses and
Tests, then LearnATest, and finally, SAT Preparation.

All PSAT scores were mailed home to students over winter break. The
Counseling Center does have a copy of each student's score. Please visit
the following web-site for further information. The web site lists access

For those who like to plan early here is a list of the PSAT Regional Parent
Information nights. Instead of each high school holding a review night, the
county is holding four nights at these sites.
All parents of high school sophomores and juniors should consider attending.

Wilde Lake High School

Mt. Hebron High School

Parents are encouraged to select an evening that is most convenient to
attend. The purpose of the presentation will be to help parents better
understand their student’s PSAT scores and to support them in planning
college test taking strategies.
Dr. Martha Gagnon, formally with the College Board and currently a college
educational consultant will be the workshop presenter.
Workshops sponsored by the Office of School Counseling
