Test Preparation
How well a student performs on their standardized tests determines how their college path begins.
Test Preparation Classes
Standardized tests can be intimidating and stressful, but they don't have to be. Students can better prepare themselves by taking Test Prep classes before they sit for their exams. Test Prep is for students who want help or to review before taking the ACT, SAT, THEA, or GED tests.
Through Lone Star College Test Preparation (Test Prep) classes, students can review subjects relevant to the test they are taking such as reading, writing, and math.

Test Preparation Workshops and Review Sessions
Students preparing to take placement tests can attend any test preparation workshop at any Lone Star College campus. Each workshop is approximately three hours long and provides the student with an overview of placement tests, sample quesions and problems and a study plan as a guide to tackle the test.
