By SACRAMENTO PUBLIC LIBRARY (Open Post

Free classes with Kaplan Test Prep can help you hit your target score.

Getting into college is competitive. Sacramento Public Library can help you with free SAT and ACT classes taught by staff from Kaplan Test Prep. Kaplan, which has been helping students raise their scores for more than 75 years, offers tutoring, classes, books and more.

Sacramento Public Library offers two-class cycles at many different libraries throughout the year, including every other month at the Central Library. Classes are designed to put students into a realistic test situation, then show them how they can improve their scores.

Students are asked to attend both classes. All programs are designed for teens who intend to take the SAT or ACT. Click here for an ongoing calendar of SAT programs.
