Are High School Students Prepared for College?
As of September 2011, only 43% of high school students nationally who took the SAT were "college ready," meaning they scored at least 1550 out of a possible 2400. This score of 1550 indicates that a student has a 65% chance of getting at least a B- in his first year of college.
The picture painted by national ACT scores isn't much better: for high school students who took the ACT (a mandatory test in Illinois for students in the 11th grade) in 2011, only 25% met four key benchmarks in English (a score of at least 18 out of 36 - 66% of all high school students met this), reading (at least 21 out of 36 - 52% of all high school students), math (at least 22 out of 36 - 45% of all high school students), and science (at least 24 out of 36 - 30% of all high school students).
So, that brings us to these crucial questions:
- Is your student ready for college?
- How well would he do on the SAT or ACT?
SAT Math
Our SAT Math prep class focuses on reviewing the three years of high school math covered by the SAT, and examining some of the typical "tricks" seen on these type of exams. There will be plenty of practice exams to ensure that the student will be able to respond reflexively to the questions and have time to spare.
The class meets at our offices an hour a week for 12 weeks.
Please contact us for details regarding schedule and price.
