TEST PREPARATION OPPORTUNITIES

According to the Harvard Educational Review, “Clearly, there is evidence that students can successfully train for the SAT and that the more time they devote to training, the higher their scores will be.” ACT states “Selected test preparation efforts can be beneficial to students.” They recommend short-term review programs and long-term instructional programs, depending on the student’s needs (The ACT Test Preparation Reference Manual for Teachers and Counselors, p.2).
