SAT Practice Makes Perfect--or at Least Better

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 3, 2011 - College-bound high school students who plan to take the ACT or SAT may want to get a little practice in before taking on the big test. SAT and ACT test scores have a big impact on college admission and scholarship opportunities

A local tutoring service, College Nannies & Tutors of Cary, will be offering a practice test in March and April so students can gauge their current achievement level and readiness for college entrance exams.

College Nannies & Tutors of Cary  managing director Greg Tarsa recommends both 10th and 11th graders take the practice tests because "colleges are getting a lot more competitive.”  His wife, Linda, adds, “The SAT and ACT scores have a major influence on a high school student's future.  They are also the easiest piece of college admissions data to improve.”

College Nannies & Tutors of Cary invites college-bound students, especially 11th and 12th graders, to take a practice ACT or SAT test to gauge their current achievement level and readiness for college entrance exams.

How to register

Free practice tests will be given on Saturday,  March 19, and April 9 at Hope Community Church, 821 Buck Jones Rd. The student may choose which test to take when registering.
