7 Good Reasons Why Every Student Should Take an SAT or ACT Prep Course
- 1Your success in the job market is largely determined by where you go to school, and that in part is determined by your board scores.
- 2College enrollment increases every year, so there's always increased competition to get into top programs. High scores can make it happen.
- 3Prep courses have been shown to be highly effective, so those who take them gain a competitive advantage over other college applicants.
- 4Board scores are the most objective measure a college has of your abilities as a student and thus of your potential for success after admission.
- 5Board scores also affect financial aid packages as colleges become more selective with their awards, especially when loans and grants are scarce.
- 6Repeated testing in the absence of a prep course is unlikely to result in significantly improved scores, and flat line scores may hurt a student's application.
- 7Overall, the cost of a prep course is negligible compared with your future earnings as a college graduate.
