The Time to Start Preparing for ACT, SAT, and PSAT is Now

ST. LOUIS - Aug. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Even though school just started, fall standardized testing dates are just around the corner. That means the time to start preparing is now!

If you or your high schooler is planning on attending college, you will be required to take the ACT (http://www.mackleradvantage.com/test-prep/college-entrance-exams/act/), the SAT (http://www.mackleradvantage.com/test-prep/college-entrance-exams/sat/), or both. For younger students planning on taking the SAT or being recognized as a National Merit Scholar, the PSAT is required.

Advance preparation for all of the above tests is essential to success. Mackler Associates (http://www.mackleradvantage.com/) in St. Louis offers different programs for all college entrance exams, each designed to suit your or your child’s individual needs. With the first ACT testing date of the school year on Sep. 21, the SAT on Oct. 5, and the PSAT on Oct. 16, preparation should start today!

Both the ACT and SAT are used by colleges in order to filter out the students most likely to succeed from their large and high-quality applicant pools. Since these tests can make such a huge difference in the first stages of a student’s college application process, proper preparation is key. Ideally, a student should receive individual attention to his or her special strengths and needs in order to maximize the chances for success.

Mackler Associates has found that the least effective method of test prep is a short series of large classes. Therefore, they offer individualized, one-on-one tutoring for the best results. From working with all kinds of students with vastly different abilities and profiles over the last 31 years, Mackler Associates has the experience to effectively lead students towards success.

In addition to college entrance exam preparation, Mackler Associates also offers test prep programs for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and others. Mentoring and subject-specific tutoring programs are also available for all students from elementary school to graduate school.
