Improve Your Score! Private SAT and ACT Tutoring in Orange County, CA.

One of the first things students (and their parents) learn when applying for college is that SAT and ACT scores carry almost as much weight as GPA in the admissions process. Earning high scores on these standardized tests greatly increases a student’s likelihood of being accepted to the university of his or her choice. Scoring well also increases the likelihood of merit scholarships.

 

Skills and Strategies That Ensure Success

The SAT / ACT tests can be intimidating, and students need all the help and support they can get. The most important thing students should do is to PREPARE - to know what types of questions will be asked and what test-taking techniques and strategies can be employed to get the correct answers logically and quickly. I teach my students HOW to take these tests; I don’t just provide them with information to memorize. Students with good test-taking skills have increased confidence that they can succeed - a confidence that allays their anxieties and helps them score well.
