If your kids are in high school, you're probably beginning to think about their higher education future. Applying to colleges is a major undertaking, and students should be focusing on several aspects of their applications so that they can get into the best school possible. Few aspects of the college application are more important than scores on the ACT and SAT, and one of the most effective ways to guarantee a strong score is through test prep tutoring in a one on one environment. Peach State Tutoring & Test Prep, in Johns Creek, GA, shares a few of the largest benefits of taking a test prep course. 

Top Benefits of Private Tutoring for the SAT & ACT

1. Learn Strategic Approaches

Test prep courses share with students one of the single most important ways to boost your score in either the SAT or ACT: strategy. Intellect, ability, and math and reading practice can only take students so far, and an effective strategy is critical to ensuring they're working their way through the test at the ideal pace and giving themselves the best chance possible get points from questions they don't know the answer to. Simply put, when students learn and apply the strategies taught in professional test prep courses, their scores invariably increase. 

2. Know What's on the Test

tutoringBecause of their in-depth knowledge of both the SAT and ACT, test prep teachers and tutors can show students the kind of questions and material they should expect on the exams. While questions obviously vary from test to test, professional tutoring gives students a strong, reliable framework to study within and can lower test anxiety. 

3. Understand Weaknesses

Taking practice tests can help students familiarize themselves with the test, dust off old skills, and work out the pace at which they need to work. When coupled with a test prep course, practice exams become even more powerful tools, showing students exactly where their weaknesses lie and helping them develop study plans to focus on and ultimately eliminate those shortcomings. 

4. Relearn Math Concepts

A student's path to improving her verbal score is straightforward: take practice tests, strengthen vocabulary, and read, read, read. The math section, on the other hand, can be trickier to study for because of the concepts that are being introduced throughout the exam. With a test prep course, students will be able to re-familiarize themselves with—or learn for the first time—concepts in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
