FREE SAT practice test for local high school students

FREE SAT PRACTICE TEST TO BE HELD FOR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!

College Tutors Bethesda Learning Center invites college-bound high school students to take a practice SAT test to gauge their current achievement level and readiness for college entrance exams.

Most colleges require every candidate to provide, along with an extensive application, results either on the ACT or SAT test.  The SAT and ACT are designed to provide college admissions officers with two things: an evaluation of readiness for academic success in college, and a common yardstick to use in comparing students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.

“Putting time into preparation for the ACT and SAT is valuable because it builds confidence, reduces test anxiety, and reveals the student’s strengths and areas of improvement from each practice test to the next,” says Heather Abello, Franchise Support Specialist with College Tutors Development.  “College admissions tests should be taken seriously by students because they can bolster a college application.  In some cases, schools will offer scholarships for scores that are in the top five to ten percentile.” 

The Free Practice  SAT  will be given on Saturday, July 27th, at the Bethesda Learning Center, beginning at 9:00 am and will conclude at 12:30 pm.  The Bethesda Learning Center mimics the setting and timing of the actual SAT. Parents can come into the center to retrieve their student's scores, within 72 hours of the test.

“The value of knowing your benchmark score on an ACT or SAT – without having to take it under real testing conditions - is that it is a more accurate predictor of a student’s capability on these tests than the PLAN or PSAT,” says Heather.  The PLAN is a preliminary ACT given in the fall of 10th grade and the PSAT is a preliminary SAT, given in the fall of 11th grade. 

To register, please call College Tutors at 240-734-4950 or email jburns@collegetutors.com.  Registration closes by 3pm the Friday before the test.
