Parents and students often stress about upcoming college entrance exams. While there are many things to consider when choosing the ACT vs. the SAT, students who prepare in advance are more confident and perform better on any test they take.
Although study materials are available for both tests, most students are not able to stick to a practice or study schedule without some supervision and support. Many students also need help with skills (such as grammar, writing, and reading) prior to the test. In addition, there are test taking strategies students need to know that are specific to each test.
Coaching is designed to review content, familiarize students with the testing format and necessary strategies, as well as offer practice with the actual tests. Students who begin preparing months in advance make the most progress towards their goals. However, if time is limited, some coaching is better than walking into the test cold. Taking a retest results in little improvement unless a student has received coaching or has practiced on his or her own. Tutoring Transformation can help by providing individualized test prep for either test.
