Sure, the SAT and ACT may seem far away right now, but they’ll be here before you know it. By starting test prep classes earlier, you will become better affiliated with the standardized testing process as well as the timing and question types associated with both the ACT and the SAT. The skills and strategies which you learn in our classes will give you an advantage when test day finally arrives. Below we have listed the three S’s—the three main reasons why jump starting preparation is the path to take.
Self-Confidence: The more familiar you are with the content and the contexts of the SAT and ACT, the higher you will score on test day. Although you may begin our classes with a diagnostic test score that you’re not proud of, you will build confidence every time you use our strategies and techniques. By the end of the ten weeks, you will feel less doubtful and more prepared.
Skills: Our classes will help you improve your exam scores, especially if you have been struggling with your test-taking skills. We will give you more practice using test taking strategies in order to make those skills second nature. That way, you will be able to complete both practice tests and actual tests efficiently yet accurately.
Speed: Although accuracy is certainly an important aspect of every college prep exam, so is speed. Standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT have a lot of questions but not a lot of time to answer them. Time-management can often be a big challenge for students who are having trouble finishing the tests. In the 8th and 9th grade Primer course, we will teach you how to make the most of every minute of every test. After all, it is just as important to be quick as it is to be correct!
