The SAT® Test
The SAT® is a college admission exam administered multiple times per year by the College Board. It stands for Scholastic Assessment Test. It more or less is designed to measure college readiness. As such, it can be a very challenging test that requires an SAT® Tutor in order to effectively prepare. The other major test that students take for college admissions is called the ACT®.
SAT® Test Difficulty
The SAT® consists of two main sections- math and evidence-based reading and writing. According to College Board, the organization that administers the SAT®, the average score on each section is around 500 points- for a total combined score of 1000. However, the top schools in the nation typically require scores that are much higher than the average – often in the range of 1400 or more. This gap between the average score and the score required for acceptance into a top-tier college or university can make the SAT seem quite difficult – but it’s important to remember that students have the opportunity to prepare and practice for the exam. Difficulty is partially dependent on the tester and their understanding of the material, as well as how they perform under the pressure of time constraints. It’s not uncommon for parents to seek an SAT® Tutor to help minimize the difficulty of the exam.
Hiring an SAT® Tutor
Your child’s SAT® scores have a significant impact on their college admissions. To prepare for the SAT®, many students turn to tutors for assistance. Tutoring can provide individualized attention and customized lesson plans to help your child achieve their best score. However, choosing the right SAT® tutor can be a daunting task. Securing an SAT® tutor increases the odds that your child will gain an advantage over other students which may help them get into the college of their choice.
SAT® Tutor Evaluation
Qualifications and Experience
When searching for an SAT® tutor, it is essential to evaluate their qualifications and experience. Your tutor should have a strong academic background and proven success in helping students improve their SAT® scores. Look for tutors who have standardized test-taking experience and a background in the subject areas covered on the SAT®. This includes math, reading, and writing. A state-certified teacher is well-positioned to provide strong SAT® tutoring.
Availability and Scheduling
The availability and scheduling of your tutor are crucial considerations. Make sure your tutor’s schedule matches your child’s availability, and they are willing to work around your scheduling preferences. Look for tutors who offer flexible scheduling and can accommodate your child’s needs. In addition, consider the tutor’s location. Online tutoring services can be convenient and offer flexibility in scheduling.
Personal Connection
The personal connection between your child and their SAT® tutor can significantly impact their ability to learn and succeed. Be sure to evaluate whether the tutor and your child are a good fit during the first tutoring session. Look for tutors who have a friendly and approachable demeanor, and who can communicate effectively with your child. Their tutoring style may also play a role in your teen’s success.
