Varsity Tutors offers ISEE, TAKS, and SAT prep in Houston

Dec. 28, 2009 - PRLog -- Varsity Tutors continues its mission of serving the entire Houston metro area by offering test prep programs for the ISEE, TAKS, and SAT.  

Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE) tutoring
If you’re worried that you’re not prepared for the ISEE, or that your score might reflect more of your test anxiety than your actual potential, an ISEE tutor from Varsity Tutors is here to help. As someone who has excelled on the ISEE, your specialized ISEE tutor has the knowledge and experience to help you master the material, prepare for the test, and handle the pressure. Your customized tutoring program will begin with a practice test to assess your strengths and weaknesses, then quickly develop to address your trouble areas while also covering key concepts necessary for the test. Along the way, your tutor will familiarize you with the test format itself, share the latest ISEE test-taking tips, and teach you the most efficient strategies for studying for the ISEE on your own. With the benefit of regular practice exams, careful monitoring, and quick, reliable answers to your questions, you’ll gradually see your practice scores improve, your questions disappear, and your confidence grow, putting you in the best possible position on test day to achieve your personal best. In the end, you’ll come to see your ISEE tutor as a friendly and supportive guide, as someone capable of making your test preparation efforts both efficient and enjoyable, but also as a friend who can calm your last-minute test anxieties.

Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) tutoring
The TAKS is taken by most Texas public school students in spring of each year during grades three through ten. The test is administered over a period of one or two weeks, depending on the choice of each individual school. Students are tested on math and reading each year. Writing tests are issued in grades four and seven. Science tests on the TAKS are given in grades five, eight, and ten. A social studies component is offered in the eighth and tenth year.
High school seniors are unable to graduate without passing exit-level TAKS tests in English language arts, social studies, math, and science. During their junior and senior years of high school, students are given five chances to pass the test. If a student is new to the Texas public education system and enrolls after January 1 of the school year in which they are otherwise eligible to graduate, they may use scores from the SAT or ACT to replace the ELA and Math TAKS. However, students are still required to pass the exit level science and social studies TAKS test before receiving a diploma.
