College Preparation: A Global Race
The ACT and SAT are the most widely recognized standardized tests to determine college readiness in high school students from all around the country and world. Universities receive applications from students all across the United States, and now more than ever students have to demonstrate their level of academic achievement and preparedness in order to gain entrance into the college of their choice.
There are several ways students can prepare for the ACT and SAT Tests, starting as young as 6th grade. This includes the following:
1. Make sure that reading and math skills are at or above grade level for your child. Reinforce these skills over the summer with an individualized learning program to prevent learning loss during the summer and help retention between grades.
2. Create a bingo game that matches vocabulary words to definitions.
3. Check your child's class schedule to make sure there is depth in their class schedule. Your child should take four years of English, Mathematics, Science, and Social/World Studies.
4. Have your son or daughter enroll a few months before they take the test in an test preparation course. A good course will not only review with students material corresponding to each section of the test, but will also isolate strong test-taking strategies relative to each section of the test so they can maximize their results.
5. Have your daughter or son go visit a college campus, even in junior high, so they can experience for a day what college is like. It not only gives your child the knowledge of what they are working toward, but also makes a very positive impression on admissions representatives that your student has the "buy-in" to be successful at their institution.
There are many key factors that college recruitment officers analyze in determining whether a student is qualified for study at their university. These factors include maintaining a strong GPA, a balanced class schedule that is academically rigorous, and participation in several extracurricular activities.
However, the great equalizer when it comes to comparing students not just from across the United States, but from all over the world, are the ACT and SAT. Is your child prepared to compete with millions of students worldwide for entrance into the college of their choice? Enroll your child in a college preparation course and give them the foundation they need to be prepared for the college of their dreams.
