Coral Springs students can now benefit from a free five-part SAT and ACT prep series hosted at Northwest Regional Library

Coral Springs, Florida – A new opportunity is now available for local students hoping to boost their college entrance exam scores. The Northwest Regional Library in Coral Springs has launched a free five-part SAT and ACT preparation series starting this week, aimed at helping students gain confidence and sharpen their test-taking skills.

The prep series will take place every Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., now through August 21, in the library’s multipurpose room. Organized with the support of the Stephanie Rubin Memorial Fund, the sessions are open to all students but are especially recommended for those planning to take the SAT on August 23.

According to organizers, the prep course is designed to go beyond the basics. “The sessions will cover four areas: fundamentals, technique, recognition and reaction, and time use,” they said. In addition to detailed strategies, students will work through sample test sections to build familiarity with the format of both the SAT and the ACT.

Although the focus will be on SAT preparation, the class will include key elements of the ACT to provide broader readiness. Organizers recommend that students commit to attending all five sessions and keep up with daily homework assignments in order to get the full benefit of the program.

Parents and students will both be engaged in the process. In fact, materials and homework will be shared with parents as well to help them understand the importance of preparation and support their child’s progress at home.

The initiative reflects a growing recognition of the role that free community resources can play in academic readiness. With standardized tests continuing to be a factor in college admissions, this no-cost opportunity offers meaningful help to students who may not otherwise have access to private tutoring or commercial test prep.

For Coral Springs students, this prep class could be the difference between stress and confidence when they walk into the testing center. And for families, it’s a reminder that public libraries are more than just quiet places — they’re active hubs for learning and opportunity.
