I was talking to a friend of mine who is a college admissions counselor, and I asked about whether she had a preferred test prep book or class that she feels best prepares the students for the ACT/SAT. She recommended a company called college prep coach. They have a kit that you can order that comes with a DVD where the student learns how to effectively study and take the tests and can practice on actual SAT and ACT tests. Apparently the kids who are using it are doing quite well on their tests.

I hope this is helpful.
Another day of band camp, both kids are still doing well, but the band kid tan is already obvious. I keep praying for cooler weather, but so far...

Hi, Chris.
ReplyDeleteAs well as the usual prep, I thought that people with SAT age children should know that this year there's help at hand to boost a student's raw problem-solving ability --- for anyone who hasn't seen Susanne Jaeggi and Martin Buschkuehl's study on Training Working Memory (PNAS), it's worth a look. Jaeggi and Buschkuehl's team recorded increases in mental agility (fluid intelligence) of more than 40% after 19 days of focused training with a dual n-back progressive method.
I was so impressed that I contacted the research team and developed a software program using the same method so that anyone can achieve these improvements at home.
