ACT & SAT Preparation

(College Financial Watch) Permanent link

For high school juniors, the ACT and SAT tests are approaching quickly.  Parents often ask me what they can do to help their students prepare.  For years I had recommended several fairly simple tools that were available to help students get used to what the the tests were going to be like.  That really was about all that was available, except for very expensive tutoring programs that cost thousands of dollars.

I am very glad to say that this spring, there is something far better available at www.PrepMe.com.  PrepMe.com is unlike any other test prep system I have seen.  Last fall, one of the PrepMe staff took us through a tour of their system.  It is impressive.  This isn't just a website that makes up mock tests out of a stable of standardized questions.  This site thinks.  It watches how the student performs, learns their strenghts and weaknesses, and then walks them through a plan to improve their scores.

And best yet... it's guaranteed.  PremMe.com guarantees that your student will improve their test scores or your money back.  Now that makes it a no-brainer.  The folks at PrepMe tell us they increase student test scores on average by 5 points on the ACT, and a commensurate amount on the SAT.  That is huge.  5 points on an ACT can equal thousands of dollars in additional financial help.  In some cases, it could even mean a full-ride.

Check out www.PrepMe.com.  It could be the single best investment in your student's future you make this year.
