Academic Test Preparation

Important things to consider from Ketterman College Funding

Standardized tests play a crucial part in helping colleges decide which applicants to admit or decline. 
Students preparing to go to college should be aware that most schools have an entrance requirement of one (or more) standardized tests to qualify for admissions. You will need to refer to each college’s admissions office for specifics on what tests are considered. Some colleges do not require a standardized test for admissions purposes but please be aware that test scores are also considered by many colleges to award merit based financial aid.

Ketterman College Funding does not offer assistance with academic test preparation, however we do understand the importance of test scores in regards to applying for admissions and financial aid. 

Redesigned SAT


Important: The SAT has recently been redesigned effective Spring 2016! 

You can find descriptions of all the major changes, full test specifications, and extensive sample questions for each section on The College Board website here: https://www.collegeboard.org/delivering-opportunity/sat/redesign 

It is important to familiarize yourself with the SAT and ACT tests. 
It is a great idea to take SAT/ACT prep courses if they are offered at your school, but that is not all you have to do!

1. Research how the test looks and what it consists of. Get a practice test to study from.

2. Always read directions carefully!

3. Know what to expect. Questions of the same type are grouped together.

4. Do the easy questions first. You earn just as many points for easy questions as you do for hard questions.

5. Know how the test is scored. (The new SAT has a new scoring system!)

6. Use your test book to do scratchwork to cross off answers you know are wrong and to mark questions you did not answer so you can go back if there’s time.

Can I improve my score?

Any student can maximize their ACT/SAT scores by using proper test preparation methods. Few high schools provide advanced  ACT/SAT preparation classes. The alternative is to hire a private test preparation company.

You can also find access to many ACT/SAT test prep services by searching the internet.
