Standardized tests are designed to test your knowledge on information a student has already learned all throughout high school. However, every student is unique in the information they have actually retained. Effective ACT/SAT preparation analyzes a students strengths and weaknesses and focuses on where they have the most room to improve their score.
The student begins by taking a practice test, which is an actual ACT/SAT exam from past years. Their performance is closely reviewed, determining which areas of study need the most attention. Practice problems and one-on-one tutoring are focused on the areas with the most room for improvement.

However, in Michigan, the average guidance counselor is responsible for 615 students. A college consultant can give your student the time and individualized guidance that guidance counselors often can't, through no fault of their own.

No. Applying to college and studying for the ACT/SAT are challenging tasks that are usually done once in a lifetime. They each require a unique skill set. An effective tutor has seen many students excel in these tasks and knows what works best!
