With our years of experience, SCOREBUILDERS welcomes you to a brighter future. We’re here to enlighten you, refresh you, and give you an opportunity to embrace a real, meaningful approach to academic success:
- College costs have increased by 75% over the past ten years – no real increase in average U.S. family’s income!
- Demographics show a population boom – more students are applying to colleges than ever before – and college facilities haven’t caught up with demand
- The recession means a dramatic reduction in university endowments – the endowments that support grants and tuition aid at private colleges
- Scholarships are being phased out for sports that do not generate sufficient school revenue ; e.g.,swimming and track.
- Families are forced to focus on a narrower choice of less expensive public colleges and universities
- High school grading consistency among schools is virtually non-existent while competition amongst college applicants has never been greater.
What’s the single most important deal maker or breaker to being accepted at the college or university of choice? How do you gain undisputed control of your academic destiny, apart from your GPA?
The SAT or the ACT is the single most important academic test a student will ever take—the most crucial three to four hours of his or her young life.
Isn’t the GPA is more important? It does attest to a person’s accomplishments based upon their ability and desire to achieve.
The standardized test, however, measures a person’s potential and given the level playing field that is available to all—the College Board or ACT practice tests—it is also somewhat of a measure of a person’s maturity…
Maturity, because the tests combine the elements of
- knowledge of mathematics
- reading comprehension
- vocabulary
- writing skills
- grammar and punctuation
With the subtleties of
- strategy
- technique
- abstract reasoning
- detective work
- innate confidence
- timing
- focus and execution
- work ethic
…all adult activities not necessarily tested, otherwise.
SCOREBUILDERS provides opportunities for students to prepare for the October PSATs--an opportunity to build confidence and to embark on the SAT odyssey. Unlike traditional school subjects, the SAT does not work when you cram.
The sooner you will enter that comfort zone, the sooner you'll take charge.
- Get ahead of the competition
- Assess what you can eventually achieve on the SATs
- Be recruited by the best schools and achieve National Merit status
The earlier you prepare for the SATs, the better you will do, and the more choices you will have for when you can take them—January, April, May, June.
Good luck to those students taking the standardized tests!
Don’t overlook the ACTs as a viable alternative.
