Download or read book Conquering the SAT written by Ned Johnson and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2006-12-26 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful and practical guide for parents shows how we often undermine rather than encourage our teens' success on one of the most stressful standardized tests—the SAT—and what strategies will remedy the problem. In recent years this test has taken on fearsome proportions, matched only by the growing competition for slots at major universities. Success is now as much a matter of navigating the maze of changing testing structures, crippling self-conceptions, and family dynamics as it is about memorizing vocabulary words. Tutors Ned Johnson and Emily Warner Eskelsen tackle the trials of the SAT head-on, revealing that the way our culture values this test is just as important as the answers teens fill in. Johnson and Eskelsen cover a wide range of topics including: * Anxiety and ways to avoid "choking" on the test * Best ways to prepare before the test – from exercise to nutrition to sleep * Family communication * What the SAT is actually testing * How test-taking strategies will help teens in all walks of life * Learning differences in teens and strategies for success

Download or read book A Parents Guide to College Admissions written by Jim Judson and published by . This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a wake-up call to parents. Most parents have almost no idea the difficult challenge their child will face when it comes to earning admission into a top college or university. They almost all make a common but costly mistake thinking good report cards alone are enough. Because these days, the best colleges and universities are relying heavily on a student's SAT(R) or ACT(R) scores, and far too many students are woefully ill prepared when it comes to taking these vitally important exams. Additionally, courses provided by high schools and test prep companies are usually severely inadequate. Mr. Judson analyzed what these tests could mean for a youngster's life and career. The results found were astonishing: improving their SAT(R) or ACT(R) scores could lead to doubling or tripling or even quadrupling their career success and income. It could mean getting into the more prestigious schools, which yields a lifelong abundance of benefits. Mr. Judson offers strategies to maximize a child's opportunities for a top-flight college education and finding top tutors who can work well to truly help students. He also focuses on the regional biases of top colleges and universities that particularly discriminate against students in the tri-state area.
