Are you currently studying for the SATs and looking to increase your writing and critical reading scores? The key to success in the SAT Critical Reading and Writing sections is to build your vocabulary. Having a broad and varied vocabulary is critical to succeeding in this area and unfortunately not something you can or should cram for.

Read a book
Read, Read, Read. The best way to prepare for the SATs, or other standardized tests including the GRE, GMAT or LSAT, is to do plenty of reading. This seems like a no-brainer, but with so many distractions from the internet and television, students today are not reading enough and their vocabulary isn’t as strong as it could be. Get your hands on higher level reading material such as novels or academic journals as you’ll be able to see what proper writing looks and sounds like. As you read, remind yourself to truly absorb the material and not just skim through it. Develop a habit of jotting down words you don’t know when reading, look them up and then start incorporating them into your own daily vocabulary.

This is the time to read all those great books outside of your assigned classroom reading and it doesn’t have to cost you a penny. Take out a book from the library or download digital classic books like Treasure Island, The Scarlett Letter, Frankenstein or Pride and Prejudice for free on sites like Google Books.

Word of the Day Calendars
Wake up and learn a new word every day. Calendar pages usually include a definition, pronunciation, sample sentence, and detailed word history. Discover words that are fun to use and test your family at breakfast to see how many words they know. Many sites are also available to download “word of the day” applications to your computer, receive free in your email or on your smart phones. Slip a sheet into your lunch bag every day and have some fun with your friends.

Play Word Games
Some other fun ideas of ways to develop your sense of comprehension when you read and expand your vocabulary skills are playing word games like word jumbles, brainteasers, crossword puzzles or board games like Scrabble.

Social network internet versions of many original board games are a great way to learn new words and let you play live against your friends, anywhere around the world. Additionally, playing some online educational and vocabulary games makes you feel good about learning new words as they donate to charities and causes to end world hunger or poverty.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making learning fun and if a student can learn something from playing a game, then why not take advantage of it? Other convenient ways students can study for the SATs are with online practice tests and study guides, interactive virtual classes and from affordable online educational tutors.

Rhymes are a regular correspondence of sounds which will learn kids faster

It is often considered a single and a boring book would not attract the interest of a child as in the case of a book that is filled with colorful pictures. In the same way, most children tend to remember rhymes and then make a child learn as a nursery rhyme can be an effective strategy to make the child learn a particular thing easily.

]]>

Both students and parents understand that the SAT Exam is one of the most important tests of a student’s academic career. The SAT Exam allows colleges to compare different students from different schools on the same scale. For this reason alone, it is important for students to study methodically and thoroughly for this exam. The math portion of the exam is weighed very heavily when the student is interested in pursuing a college degree involving mathematics, science, finance, technology, or related fields.

Like other standardized exams, the SAT Exam is a test that can be studied for quite strategically. This is because the math topics included in the exam are well-defined and fixed. Moreover, the same question types appear from year to year, and so they make great practice material for students. Therefore, the logical way to master the math portion of the SAT Exam is to master the topics that are included on the test.

In order to best understand the topics on the exam, it is necessary to first review the textbook(s) that describe the concepts in detail. Study the relevant chapters until the material makes sense to you. Once you are done studying the relevant chapters, move on to the problems at the end of the chapter. Attempt to solve as many problems as possible until you are fully confident that you have mastered the solving procedure.

After you are done reviewing the material and practicing on the problems in your textbook, it is necessary to work on an actual math SAT Exam. Take this exam following the rules that would be followed on test day. In other words, time yourself when you are working within a section, and take the required breaks (as allowed) between math sections. After a sample SAT exam is completed, grade the exam and study your results. Note if there is a specific question type that appears to be causing problems or if there is a specific subject topic that continues to baffle you.

At this point, it may be appropriate to consider specialized, focused tutoring to fill in any gaps in comprehension. The tutor would be able to focus on SAT math and to place extra attention on the weaknesses until understanding of the concepts is improved. The tutoring may be either in-person or online. Recently, online tutoring has become more popular, as it is more convenient for both tutor and student. Moreover, online math tutoring tends to be more affordable than in-person tutoring.

In an online tutoring session, the tutor and student can work on the same interactive whiteboard and share problems, answers, and explanations. Using the computer’s microphone or a telephone, the tutor and student can communicate via voice to further communicate with each other. The tutoring session occurs in a private, interactive classroom and can be scheduled at the student’s convenience.

This course includes subject topic review, narrated & animated problem solutions, and a sample exam. The website MyMathTestPrep.com also offers online tutoring packages and a homework help service that are flexible enough to fit any budget.

Why You Need an ACT Tutor and an SAT Tutor!

Edit Article |

]]>

You’re preparing your child for college. And besides ensuring that their grades are up to par, you know they’ll have to tackle that big standardized test—the SAT. Yet, what about that other test you’ve heard about called the ACT? Why do some students take that test? And should your child take both the ACT and SAT? Do you need an ACT tutor and SAT tutor, either in-home or online tutors? Here’s an overview of both tests so that you and your child can make an informed decision.

Many universities use the SAT to help determine the potential success of a student at their university. Of course, they also review the entire application, including transcripts, extracurricular activities usually listed on what’s called a “brag sheet,” and teacher recommendations.

Administered by the College Board, the SAT has three sections: Writing, which includes an essay; Critical Reading, and a Math section. In general, the test is offered seven times per school year, usually on Saturday mornings for 3 hours and 45 minutes. You’ll be able to view scores online about 10-20 days after the test.

Administered by the ACT Corporation, the ACT contains four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Colleges and universities use the ACT for the same purpose as the SAT. The ACT is usually offered six times per school year, usually on Saturday mornings but for 3 hours and 55 minutes. The optional writing section brings the total test time to 4 hours and 25 minutes. Although scores are usually available 10-30 days after the test date, writing scores become available approximately two weeks later.

While the ACT tests achievement, the SAT tests aptitude, and basically every university and college accepts both standardized tests. It’s a good idea for your child to take both tests in order to determine which one he or she feels most comfortable taking and will excel at!

Students can receive up to 800 points for each of the three SAT sections for a total score of 2400. Students can receive up to 36 points for each of the four ACT sections. The highest score a student can earn is 36– the average of the four total scores. The SAT penalizes students ¼ of a point for every incorrect answer, which contributes to reducing a student’s score, while the ACT does not penalize for incorrect answers.

The SAT and the ACT test Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra I & II, Vocabulary, Punctuation, Grammar, Writing Ability, and Reading Comprehension, but the ACT also tests Trigonometry and Reading Structure and does not directly test Vocabulary. The SAT essay is mandatory; the ACT essay is optional. Many students find that the ACT closely resembles the types of tests that they’re used to taking in school, although completing the science section can be difficult. The best strategy for achieving a high SAT or ACT score is to practice, practice, practice, practice, grade each practice test, and then review each time. An ACT tutor and an SAT tutor, in-home and online tutors, can help your child practice and then review which questions they got wrong, which ones they skipped, which questions they guessed but got right, and which questions they took a long time to get the right answer. In addition, students should take the time to work on increasing their vocabulary before the test, especially words found on the SAT and the ACT. An ACT tutor and SAT tutor, including online tutors, should help your child through this process until his scores dramatically improve!

A private ACT tutor or SAT tutor is usually more effective than a prep class, because of the individualized help not found in a class and the prep class may be conducted by an untrained teacher who has difficulty teaching students of differing academic abilities. It’s sometimes difficult to find a qualified, highly experienced SAT tutor or ACT tutor in a certain area, but expert SAT and ACT online tutors can provide the same results as if he or she was right there in your home, and you can work with the best online tutors to help your child get the best score he or she can!

Timing is One of the Most Important Aspects of GMAT Test Prep

When it comes to GMAT test prep, everyone has different tips and tricks that they say will work best as you get ready for this important exam.  Many people suggest taking an online GMAT preparation course, and there are many other tools such as personal tutoring, books, CDs, software, flashcards and practice tests that round out the experience.  What they often neglect to mention, however, is how important it is to prepare for taking the test itself, regardless of the material that is on it. 

The GMAT is a timed test with three different sections, similar to the SAT but geared towards graduates who are applying to MBA programs at leading business schools and universities.  As you get started with your GMAT or SAT online course, you will undoubtedly learn all about the material that will likely be covered in the math, verbal and writing sections of the test.  But unfortunately, many students neglect the principles of smart time use during their GMAT test prep, which can result in careless mistakes or running out of time.  Learning how to manage your time is one of the most important tricks to acing the Graduate Management Admission Test.

While taking a GMAT preparation course or following an online test prep program, it is crucial that you learn how to manage your time and know what to expect during the actual timed test.  One trick that some people think will work is checking the clock after every question, but this can actually have a counterproductive effect.  Your attention should be focused on the calculations and careful reading of the questions instead of being occupied by the clock.  This is why the best trick is actually to adopt a staggered timing strategy.  An ideal strategy is to only check the timer once after every 10 questions at most.

So if you’re preparing for the GMAT, it’s important to get an idea of what the test will be like and whether you are prepared to finish all the questions in the time allotted.  Timing truly is one of the most important aspects of GMAT test prep.

Thinking About Hiring A College Prep Service?

Edit Article |

]]>

Do paid college prep services really help with getting into a good college? Parents and students should consider a few key points before putting out the money.

Paying for college prep counseling?

The competition for acceptance into top colleges seems to get harder each year. In addition to a high grade point average, advanced placement classes, and SAT scores, students may be expected to participate in extracurricular activities as well.

Parents frequently hire private college counselors in the hopes of getting their kids in the right school. However, paying for a counselor might be unnecessary because high school counselors in most cases provide similar advice without any expense.

Do counselors have credentials?

There are two major national associations for private college counselors,  the IECA and the NACAC, both require members to demonstrate a certain level of experience but don’t offer accreditation. Another group, the AICEP,  says they require a master’s degree in a relevant field, references and a written exam, but they concede that guidelines are flexible. It appears that most counselors have no formal credentials.

When Is it too late for private counseling?

Many colleges use an applicant’s GPA and SAT scores during sophomore and junior year, which means that hiring a college counselor later in high school can have little effect. Because they don’t want to turn away paying customers, many private college counselors sign up the bulk of their clients later after they get their PSAT scores, but that can be too late.

Are college essay services a good idea?

College essay services constitute a growing business niche with numerous companies offering to assist students in focusing and proofreading their essays. The problem is colleges can spot a professionally edited essay. Essays not done in the authentic voice of the student are evident.

Does the company guarantee better SAT scores?

SAT preparation has become a given in the college admissions process, and classes may help to get ready for the test by teaching certain methods or time-saving strategies. Students can use online prep web sites, which often cost little or no money. Families who hire a tutor should be careful of anyone who guarantees a gain in their score.

Do they offer paid scholarship services?

Be wary of companies that offer to sell scholarship seminars. The information you get may be of little value since most scholarship information is available for free online, through your child’s high school, and the local groups, nonprofits and corporations that are running the programs.

Does a private service offer an advantage?

Some college admissions officers say that help from an upscale private consultant could be a detriment to a student’s chances. Independent counselors are often seen as a privilege of the advantaged student and that selective colleges struggle against this built-in bias in the admissions process. Parents and students need to be aware that while some services can be helpful, others may be detrimental.

ACT TEST Prep

Edit Article |

]]>

The ACT test assesses high school students’ general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. ACT scores are one of the most important factors in the college admission decision, second only to grades in college prep courses.

This is a high stakes test. How will you prepare for this important test?

The ACT has 4 components: English Language, Mathematics, Critical Reading and Science. The SAT exam has 3 components: Math, Critical Reading and Writing. the ACT tests grammar, punctuation and syntax versus the SAT is focused on vocabulary . The Writing Test, an optional component, measures skill in planning and writing a short essay.The SAT does not test you on science and trigonometry. The ACT lasts 2 hours, 55 minutes with 30 minutes for the optional writing.

So which test do you want to take? By taking a predictive test PSAT and PLAN in your sophomore year you can somewhat predict your scores for either the ACT or the SAT.

We can work with your son or daughter one-on-one with a commitment to their success.

From your past experiences in taking tests, determine what the weak areas are and work on those. By seeking out teachers or counselors you can ask for advice on how to improve in those areas. Take sample tests, evaluate the results and keep testing and reevaluating.

A review of the weaker area(s) of concern can help with the content of the ACT, such as vocabulary words or brushing up on geometry, trig, or algebra problems.

Because the science section will measure your reasoning, it is the easiest section of the ACT. It will be important to know how to read scientific data in charts, graphs or reports.

Each of the four multiple-choice ACT test sections (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) is scored on a scale of 1-36. You will also receive a composite score, which is the average of your four test scores (1-36). When you receive your score report results, it will include national rankings where you can compare your performance against students across the country. For instance, if you ranked in the 95th percentile on the Mathematics Test, you did better than 94% of other students, while 5% did tested than you.

You will receive a Writing Test sub score and a Combined English/Writing score. Essays are judged for quality not quantity with a sub score of 0-12 and a combined English/Writing score of 1-36. The Ivy League universities will look at your essay, while other universities may not consider this as important for their admissions requirements. On the ACT web site you can search for writing test requirements by school. As you decide on your choices of possible universities, based on your scores, you should check with each school to understand how they make decisions about your writing score.

So, should you take a ACT online or classroom course? It can be costly in both time and money. However, practice sessions, taking sample tests, review of weaker areas of concern and tracking of your scores during this class is helpful.

You can also get good results with a disciplined approach, perhaps a one-on-one tutor and a good ACT guide book. If you chose a one-on-one tutor, they should help you in the ACT content areas, as well as, strategies how to take the test.

How Students Can Manage Their Time and Study Habits to Improve Their Grades

Who doesn’t have time management problems? I think we all do to some degree. If you’re a student, you may seem to have more difficulty with this than others because you have so many things going on in addition to your school work. Nobody can slow time down, and we always need more of it. You can gain control over your time by planning, and making choices about, how you will spend your time, and how much time will be spent on each activity and school subject area.

SAT and ACT Test Scores Are Important Criteria For College Admissions and Scholarships

Students will be taking the most important tests in their high school career sometime in the next few months. SAT and ACT scores are among the top three criteria for college admissions at the majority of schools. When students do well on these tests, it can greatly improve their college opportunities and chances for scholarships. It is much easier to improve a student’s test scores than it is to improve their GPA. These tests are coachable and when students learn the necessary strategies and gain some invaluable practice, they can increase their scores.

With this in mind, wouldn’t it make sense for high school juniors to prepare for these tests before they take them for the first time? Too often students think that test prep is something that is not necessary. They feel they can do whatever test prep they need on their own. Most, however, do not take the time or have the discipline to do enough to make a difference. Recent studies show that earlier critics now agree that test prep works and can make a difference in a student’s performance. Even the College Board and ACT, publishers of the two tests, provide test prep materials for students to purchase. Test prep has become a big business, but you can help your student prepare for these tests by finding affordable and effective courses or tutoring.

Many parents listen to college representatives who tell them that they look at each college applicant in a “holistic manner” and that test scores are not a big deal. However, research shows that more than 70% of colleges and universities consider SAT and ACT test scores a significant factor in college admissions. Too many students are rejected from colleges because of low test scores. Many lose out on merit scholarships because their test scores are not high enough.

Students often find the SAT and ACT tests intimidating. They seem very unlike anything they have studied in school. In addition, the tests are timed and the race to finish each section can be very frustrating. Students need to become familiar with the tests and gain practice on the types of questions that are asked. They must learn to work within the allotted time frame and find out which questions they should tackle or skip depending upon the section and their strengths and weaknesses. Students need to practice, review, and practice some more to gain confidence in their test-taking abilities. They also need to find ways to cope with the stress that accompanies these tests and can adversely affect their test scores.

Parents should look into their test prep options early and decide which is best for their high school junior. There are good test prep courses and tutoring available in your community that are not expensive and do not require five or six hours a week of a student’s participation. A course should have no more than twelve students and the teacher should be an experienced test prep coach, not just someone who has scored well on the tests. Students should practice on real SAT and ACT tests, not samples that are developed by a test prep company. It doesn’t make sense to practice on anything but the real test.

The SAT and ACT need to be kept in perspective. Students do not need to be in a test prep course that takes time away from their high school classes and studying or other important activities they enjoy. Each student is more than a test score. However, by not giving your student the benefit of some good test prep, you could hurt his or her college opportunities or qualifying for merit scholarships that are based on test scores.
