ACT/SAT Test Preparation

While it is the opinion of The Writing Tutor that no standardized test score should ever represent a students’ body of academic accomplishments, she also recognizes that standardized testing is becoming more prevalent in U.S. schools and that the scores have a higher profile since state and federal governments are now using them as a measure of a school’s success or failure. As a result, many parents and students feel the need to seek study aids outside of school. This section primarily focuses on the ACT and the SAT because they are the two tests taken by most college-bound high school students in the United States; however, many of the suggestions can also be applied to other standardized tests and even to studying in general. This section also provides information of interest to college-bound students.
