Those things are such crap. I got this horribly low score, and I still got into a good uni. I think it was ‘cause of all my extra-curriculars and my dazzling essays or whatever.

There might be some local courses that you can attend. Check various kiosks in your community

Try there.

or you can try getting one of those prep books from Barnes and Noble. They sometimes have the CDs with practice tests on them.

East coast is more ACT and west coast is more SAT.  I took the SATs only but I was only applying to schools in the west.  I used Princeton Review to get ready for it…
