Summer is the Perfect Time to Prepare for the SAT* or ACT®
Two of the most important college entrance requirements are a student's academic record and SAT or ACT test scores. Giving your teenager's scores a boost can increase the likelihood of acceptance into that first choice college and open doors to scholarship opportunities.Save $100 now on Sylvan's SAT or ACT prep courses.
“Interesting and targeted summer programs and test prep can help your teen better prepare for the competitive college admissions process,” explains Dr. Richard Bavaria, senior vice president of educator outreach for Sylvan. “Summer is a perfect time to ‘get ahead’ through SAT/ACT test prep classes, as well core subjects that will help your teen reach his or her full potential.”
College admissions today are more competitive than ever. New tools, such as the common application, encourage students to apply to more schools. This increases the competition, making it more difficult for students to earn acceptance into the colleges and universities that were once seen as safe bets.
What does this mean for your college-bound teenager?“A well-rounded application, including strong SAT and ACT scores, is critical,” adds Bavaria. “Getting into the right college requires a great deal of time, effort and careful planning – as early as Freshman year of high school – for students and their families.”
