SAT v ACT - Which Is Best?
It seems like more colleges abandon their test-optional policies every week. Harvard and CalTech. Brown and Georgia Tech. I believe we're still in the beginning stages of a standardized testing comeback.
Why? Mostly because rampant grade inflation makes it super hard for admissions officers to gauge the college readiness of applicants. When everyone has a 94 average, how to you separate the wheat from the chaff?
A full discussion of that topic would take too long, but it appears that that the (new, digital) SAT and ACT are back to help resolve that issue.
The SAT changed formats earlier this year, switching from paper to digital. Reviews were mixed, to put it mildly, making it more confusing for students wondering which one to prep for, and take, in order to boost their chances of getting accepted to the colleges they want to attend...
...and clean up with fat, juicy scholarships :)
[Tonight] New Digital SAT
Hot off the presses:
Our head tutor, Marissa U, is fresh off a conference w/ one of the big wigs at the College Board, who shared information (some good, some vague) about the new digital SAT that came out earlier this year.
Tonight, she will share her newfound insight in a brand new webinar.
If you're wondering about how the College Board "adjusts" the test based on how a student does in the first section (it's weird), you should tune in.
Marissa will also share tips and tricks on how to get more answers correct, and score as high as possible!
Here's where to sign up -- please share this invite with anyone you know who could use it:

P.S. At the end of the month, I'll be hosting an actual live (not a webinar) event in our brand new office. Details to come.
"Secrets" of the New Digital SAT
Our head tutor Marissa U just got back from a conference where a rep from the College Board shocked the crowd with little known revelations about the brand spanking new digital SAT.
After Marissa told me about the first one, I interrupted and said, "We need to do a webinar for our list!"
So that's what we decided to do, tomorrow night. Marissa will run through the latest information you need to know before deciding to take the SAT.
Or deciding not to take the SAT.
She'll cover the funky way that they now "adjust" the test based on how a student does in the first section (it's weird); plus tips and tricks on how to get more answers correct, and score as high as possible!
