Many high school students—especially juniors and seniors—think about continuing their education at a select college. And while admissions offices take several factors into account when reviewing applications, a strong score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the ACT often boosts a student’s prospects. These standardized exams serve as useful indicators of a student’s readiness for college-level coursework, and—in today’s competitive admissions landscape—having an edge can make a big difference.
That advantage is within reach by way of SAT/ACT prep courses. There are many options out there, ranging from free, self-guided methods to pricier one-on-one tutoring. In that sea of seemingly endless choices, SAT/ACT prep courses from the ±«Óătv (±«Óătv) stand out as a prudent choice. These live, instructor-led courses—available in both traditional classroom and live-online formats—deliver quality instruction at a fair cost. And whether the course takes place in person or remotely, the focus remains on student success.
The process begins with a team of experienced instructors who lead proven lesson plans. Just as importantly, students are equipped with valuable resources and strategies that will give a valuable preview of the test-day experience. Students will learn test format and content, recognize how questions are presented, and time management. This will decrease anxiety and boost confidence! As added features, ±«Óătv Test Prep students can contact instructors during office hours and access class recordings during the course and after its conclusion.
Parents sometimes ask about post-course success rates or, if their child has previously taken the test, what kind of a score increase they might expect. There’s no official data collected after students receive their test scores to provide definitive answers. However, ±«Óătv Test Prep confidently asserts that students who attend all (or almost all) of the classes, follow the material during class time, and attend to assignments between class meetings will be satisfied with the program. A commitment to effort is necessary to maximize course benefits.
So, if a college education is your high schooler’s next step, set them up for SAT/ACT success by enrolling them in high-quality prep courses from ±«Óătv. It’s a wise investment that pays multiple dividends. A great score on the SAT/ACT doesn’t only enhance chances of getting into a college of choice. It can also reduce tuition costs through merit-based scholarships and other financial aid opportunities.
Parents, take advantage and give this important gift of education to your young scholar!
