Are standardized tests really coachable?
For years, test makers have insisted that marked score increases are unlikely to be realized through coaching. What they have not considered is the mentoring factor. We have been helping students master the college success skills that are necessary for score improvement since 1982. Students who participate in a well-designed program that helps them to identify, analyze, connect, and find solutions usually see substantial improvements in not only their standardized test scores but also their academic habits and grades as well. Standardized tests are coachable when the coaching is part of a larger learning experience.
