ACT/SAT/Test Optional Strategy & Planning Session

$100.00

In this session, we will use objective data and our expert insight to help you formulate a plan for standardized testing. Based on your college goals, we can recommend whether to take the ACT, SAT, or apply test optional. Additionally, if a testing path is recommended, we can provide advice on when to test, when to study and for how long, what specific topics and strategies will be helpful, and what kind of preparation (self-study, prep course, 1:1 tutoring, etc) will be most effective for the student’s unique goals and strengths.

You’ll walk away with an understanding of how test scores fit into the college admissions process, advice on which path to pursue (ACT, SAT, or test optional). In addition you will receive guidance on a timeline and plan for test preparation.
