Huntington Learning Center Announces Results of 2019 SAT/ACT and Scholarships
Survey

Walnut Creek, CA, 12/03/2019 — Huntington Learning Center, a leading test prep and tutoring
services provider, recently completed its annual survey of college students about their SAT/ACT
scores and scholarship dollars received. Responses on ACT/SAT results (2019) were as follows:

• Total scholarships awarded to Huntington students surveyed was $187 million, up from
$140 million in 2018.
• Of the students surveyed, scholarship offers averaged over $71,000 per student.
• The average increase for students taking the ACT after completing a Huntington ACT
prep program was 5.9 points. In 2018, the increase was 5.2 points.
• The average increase for students taking the SAT after completing a Huntington SAT
prep program was 248 points. In 2018, the increase was 226 points.

Irum Zaidi of the Walnut Creek Huntington Learning Center says that Huntington's test prep
programs have proven successful for many years. "We take an individualized approach, which is
highly effective because our programs are designed to meet students' needs and not as one-size fits-all curricula," she says. "The upward success trajectory of our survey findings confirms what
becomes very clear during one of our SAT or ACT exam prep sessions: customized learning
yields better results."

Huntington’s positive news comes as U.S. News and World Report shares that more students in
the graduating class of 2019 took the SAT than ever before—2.2 million, a 4 percent increase
from 2018. The increase is largely attributed to more states allowing schools to administer the
test during the school day for free. More students from low-income areas and students whose
parents did not attend college took the exam. Overall, median SAT scores (2019) for math and
reading dropped slightly.

Zaidi explains that while score fluctuations are to be expected year to year, good test
preparation makes a difference. "When students have a good handle on their strengths and

weaknesses and take the time to study carefully, they perform better," she says. "At our 300 centers across the country, we have seen great improvement among students for that reason. Diligent, focused studying makes all the difference."
