  Preparing for the SAT can be stressful. To help make the process easier, TPL is holding a free SAT Practice Exam at the Library courtesy of the Troy Sylvan Learning Center. Registration is required. Because demand for this program is high, students who register but do not attend or cancel their registration beforehand will be put on a waiting list for any future exams. 
  A follow-up information session for teens and parents will be held on Wednesday, October 3 at 5:30 pm. At the information session, students will receive their scores and learn tips for making improvements from a Sylvan Learning Center representative.
