What does ETS think about the coaching schools that promise to raise students scores on the SAT and other admissions tests?
ETS does not recommend expensive and elaborate coaching courses. Although the courses vary according to objectives, duration, and method, we believe that most of the claims made by commercial coaching companies are greatly overblown. However, we do recommend that students prepare for any important test. The best way to do that is to familiarize yourself with the format of the test and to review the content areas the test will cover, and you can do this on your own. ETS and the testing program sponsors provide these details, as well as practice tests (printed materials and a growing number of software versions) at very low cost for all of the testing programs we create. We encourage all of our test candidates to review this material to help refresh their memories of particular content, decrease their anxiety and increase their confidence on test day. Note, however, that last minute cramming will never replace years of study and effort. If you need more information about testing programs
