Oh the places you will go!
Why is so much emphasis placed on a test you will take on one day of your life? Does the very thought make you want to cry or run away and join the circus? Let’s dive into some information that can hopefully make those cold sweats stop and give your student the confidence he or she needs to accomplish this great task and unlock a world of opportunities for the places to go.
The SAT and ACT tests were designed to give colleges and universities a standard upon which to base their acceptance. With school systems differing as much as pizza toppings, it is essential to have some similar way to test students coming from around the world. Are these tests fair? I could argue on both sides of this for days on end, but the bottom line is, these tests are required.
A high score on one or both exams can be just what is needed to differentiate between two students and get your student into the university of their dreams. To obtain this high score, preparation is the key. If your student has a smart phone, start by downloading an app that allows them to study vocabulary on their own, daily. There are many free apps out there and knowing and using vocabulary is a big component to scoring well on the exam and aiding with the fundamentals for college.
