5 Steps for Getting Letters of Recommendation from Your Teachers
It’s the time of year when high school juniors are starting to look at the long slog between Spring Break and the end of the school year with something between sighing resignation and outright panic. AP and IB exams will take up May with Final Exams on their heels. They may be squeezing another SAT […]
8 steps to preparing for the SAT or for the ACT
Students face two huge obstacles as they get ready for the SAT or ACT. The toughest is finding the time. They’re busy and their schedules are extremely full already. Blocking out an hour or two a day to focus on a test that won’t have an immediate impact on their grades is tough when that […]
What you should know about Test Optional Policies
The typical press release from colleges who make the decision involves statements about how they recognize that students are more than a test score. That the college is committed to taking a look at the whole student.
Those platitudes are noble, and in cases like the UChicago or Wake Forest or Bates, they seem sincere. I’m not entirely convinced that the motives behind some of the recent announcements from Northern Illinois and Lourdes are quite as high-minded.
The problem with student debt
It’s a tough conversation, but there are likely other, better options. At first it probably seems unfair. The student did all the right things. Isn’t the reward supposed to be going to the school of their dreams?

College prep generates an amazing ROI
Spending $700 on a quality course where the student could get that 1160 would mean saving $40,000 over 4 years. That’s 5700%.
The best way to choose between the SAT or ACT
You don’t have to take official SAT and ACT’s to find which test is right for you. There’s a better way.
About the ACT’s BIG announcement
In the excitement of how wonderful the ACT was being for students, a couple of points got glossed over, and they’re particularly problematic.
5 steps to creating your test prep plan
While it might be difficult to come up with the exact plan for everyone, I have been able to develop a plan that works for most students. It also gives them a framework to build their own plan around.
