StudyPoint is offering these events, and since they're doing so virtually, you can take the practice test from your home. Anyone who participates will receive a free score analysis that breaks down how you did by section, question type, and content area so you can get a sense of where you might want to do some review prior to the real thing.
They run multiple practice tests each week. If you're interested you can view available dates and register for a test at https://site.studypoint.com/virtual-practice-tests.
