Does standardized test preparation really help?
Educational Testing Services (ETS), the company that has authored the SAT for more than 50 years, asserts that students cannot study for their exam. However, countless tutoring companies have proven focused preparation can generally raise scores between 100 and 200 points for the average student. While many companies pitch insider exam strategies, there are neither secrets nor shortcuts to success. A test prep instructor, therefore, is best employed like a personal trainer—a person to structure, to inform, and to motivate.
