Finding Test Preparation Resources

Print Resources

Online Catalog

Test preparation books are organized by type (e.g., SAT) or subject. Using the catalog, you can search to see if a particular test or subject test is available in the library's collection.
Example: Does the library have any books for studying for the AP physics exam?
There are two ways to find the answer to this question.

  1. Enter the title of a book if you know it. Or,
  2. Type in keywords, e.g., AP and physics
If you are looking for a subject test, you will want to combine the name of the test (SAT, AP, or advanced placement, and ACT) with the subject, such as in the above example.

Reserve Collection

The library also keeps a small number of ACT, AP, and SAT test preparation books at the circulation desk. These books cover a variety of subject areas and are available for use in the library only.
