Who Needs SAT & ACT Prep?
Considering how much time students spend on school, sports and other extracurricular activities, all in hopes of improving their resumes for college, and bearing in mind that an extra hundred points on the SAT can mean the difference between acceptance and rejection, doesn’t a course that can help them significantly improve their ACT or SAT scores seem like a wise investment?
Merit Aid
To induce their prospective students to attend, almost all colleges offer financial assistance packages based on merit: the most criteria are student’s grade and standardized test scores. SAT and ACT scores have a huge impact on the allocation of scholarships: Extra points can easily translate into extra dollars. In the end, a strong ACT SAT prep course can pay for itself many times over.
“Enrolling my daughters in the Prepare class was one of the best investments I ever made. I highly recommend it to any student planning to attend college. This program really works! Peter is an incredible teacher and motivator. The girls improved their SAT scores by nearly 200 points and as a result, greatly increased their scholarship opportunities: Sarah is currently at Pitt on a full tuition scholarship, while Katherine has received numerous scholarship offers and invitations to college honors programs all thanks to her SAT score.”

What’s the best way to prep for the SAT & ACT?
Students can definitely learn valuable information from test prep guides and on-line courses, provided they stick to a strict regimen of self-instruction and self-evaluation. But how many students have that kind of discipline? A tightly-structured classroom course led by a well-trained instructor can achieve dramatic results that are nearly impossible to duplicate with books or on-line courses.
Why PREPARE?
Let’s face it: prepping for the ACT and SAT isn’t anyone’s idea of a swinging time. Keeping kids interested, and even entertained, is crucial to helping them improve. At Prepare, we keep our pupils involved and motivated through drills and games that reinforce basic test-taking techniques; students find that the more effort they put into their homework, the better they perform in these classroom competitions. Sound simple? Sure, but it works.
