"Through the work of your teachers and staff, my son has learned how to learn. Sylvan always treated him with respect and helped him find a way out of failure - an important lesson for all of us to learn. He worked hard and gained the confidence that he could indeed succeed in school. Thank you, Sylvan Learning! You have made all the difference."

- Virginia, Sylvan Parent

SAT and ACT prep

The pressure is on. Today, more high school students are applying to more colleges, earlier than ever before. The number of early admission applications has increased dramatically, with some universities seeing double digit jumps. To begin the college process, most students applying to competitive colleges now take the SAT*/ACT® more than once.

Students today know clearly what students in the past may not have known - systematically preparing for the SAT/ACT gives them confidence. They know how to budget their time, they know what the test looks and feels like, they know important strategies like when to guess at an answer. They go into the test practiced and confident.

Students can take the SAT/ACT, as many times as they like, but educators suggest taking the tests no more than two or three time. Sylvan Learning Center, the leading provider of in-center and live, online tutoring at home to students of all ages and skill levels, offers the following tips to help ease the pressure of testing and achieve the best results:

- Don’t try to cram for the SAT/ACT overnight. Proper preparation takes weeks, even months, of review.

- Register for a SAT/ACT prep class at least eight weeks before the testing date to provide extra studying assistance and additional confidence.

- Take the tests in the spring of junior year or fall of senior year of high school.

- Know the instructions for each section before you begin the test, you won’t have to waste time reading them during the exam.

Additional Morning Hours Available at Sylvan during School Breaks

When School is Out Sylvan is In!!

School Breaks are a great time to catch up and help your child increase their academic progress. During School Breaks a student's classwork stops and they have the ability to learn skills that may have been missed in previous grades, refresh skills just learned, or learn new skills that will support them when school resumes.

Sylvan offers additional morning hours during Winter Break, Spring Break and Summer Break as well as most School Holidays.

Take advantage of these hours to help your child grow.

Please call the center for specific start dates for morning hours.
