Free ACT/SAT Testing!
More than three million college admissions tests are administered each year, making the SAT and the ACT two of the most important exams that a high school student will ever take. In order to perform at their best, students should become familiar with the style and types of questions on the tests, in order to avoid "trap-door answers." Above all, students need to work through as many practice questions and tests as possible in the weeks and months leading up to the actual exam.
Sylvan Learning Center of Boardman will be offering free practice exams to take in the center on the following dates:
- November 19, 2011 10 am - 1 pm
- December 17, 2011 10 am - 1 pm
- January 14, 2012 10 am - 1 pm

Get Your College Coach at Sylvan!
Sylvan is proud to offer our College Coach programs for college-bound students.
Why does a student need Sylvan College Coach?
Students are applying to college in historical numbers, making the application process more competitive than ever. Recent studies have shown students may not be as adequately prepared for college as they should be, as evidenced by a 50% college dropout rate.
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS MORE COMPETITIVE
Not only are there more students than ever applying to college, they are also submitting an average of six to seven applications per student. This flood of applications can make the admissions process challenging.
STUDENTS NOT PROPERLY PREPARED
There seems to be a growing disparity between the level of work that is expected in high school versus what is expected in college. Once enrolled, many students are finding they are not as prepared as they should be to make the transition.
- Only 36% of students earn their Bachelor's Degree in four years
- Nearly 50% of students attending college will never finish
- However, those who earn their degree earn 72% more than those who do not get their degree

Choosing the Right Tutor Can Be As Easy As ABC
According to the Education Industry Association, the demand for tutoring has increased 15-18% in the past year, compared to single-digit growth previously. As a result, the number of tutors has also increased dramatically. Before entrusting your child's academic future to someone, it is important to ensure that person is the best qualified and will personalize the tutoring to fit the child's individual needs.
