The SAT

There is plenty of debate as to whether or not the SAT exam ought to be this important, but one thing is certain: As of now, the SAT is very important in the college admissions process! It is also one of the parts of the admissions process where a little effort can dramatically improve your application.

The ACT

Many students who take the SAT should also take the ACT. After learning the reasoning skills that are crucial to both exams, some students perform comparatively higher on one of the two exams. Because reporting your ACT scores is optional, students essentially have everything to gain and nothing to lose from attempting this exam.

The SAT Exam is All About Precision

Oct 8, 2014

Students certainly need some highly developed SAT skill-sets as a foundation. After that, the exam is all about precision. Students, parents, and just about everyone complain about the unfairness of the SAT. One of the main causes of these complaints is about the SAT’s huge need for precision. No one reading this right now thinks that a need for accuracy is the reason they don’t like the SAT, but it is.

Is the ACT easier than the SAT?

Sep 17, 2014

So is the ACT easier? The answer depends on who you ask. If you ask students who have not yet experienced the ACT, the parents of those students, or most guidance counselors, you will probably hear more yes than no. If you ask a student – or the parent of a student – who has already taken both the SAT and the ACT, you are likely to hear a lot more variance in your answers. The reason for this is that the ACT is easier for some students, but the SAT is easier for others.

Is “The SAT Exam” designed to trick you?

Sep 3, 2014

First some brief history. The SAT was first administered in 1926 and was called the Scholastic Aptitude Test. This name lasted until 1990 when it was switched to the Scholastic Assessment Test, which lasted for only 3 years. In 1993 the letters S.A.T. officially no longer stood for anything. It is definitely silly that an exam whose name came about as an acronym is now an acronym whose letters literally don’t represent anything. And while the name has changed over the years, the basic tricky element of the exam itself remains present.
