College Admissions Tests (and Prep)


Recommended Posts

I watched a webinar by a counselor from Compass Prep, which does test prep services.  I thought a lot of what he had to say was interesting and useful.

In particular I liked the roughly 100 page free guide on tests and testing, which compares tests, discusses college policies on them, and has some suggestions for approaching the various sections.

One thing from the video I thought was interesting was his statement that a realistic goal for test prep was to close 1/2 of the gap  between the student's initial percentile and 99th percentile.  His point being that a student who started at the 50th percentile might well improve up to the 75th, but that a student who started at 90th percentile might work just as hard to move to the 95th.  And that Endless Prep does not equal Endless Improvement.
