Expensive college textbooks - how a more competitive SAT score may help!
Do any of you have college bound kids? You need to read this article about the cost of textbooks! This story says that the cost of college textbooks has increased at a rate of 3x inflation! I can attest that they are grossly overpriced AND I know students who have opted not to buy them and try to get through the class as best they can without the book.

All this to say, it does make the cost of college just that much more expensive. And often times, it's a cost we haven't accounted for properly! So, what to do?
Scholarships are definitely one way to combat the costs. But to qualify for many of these scholarships, the students need competitive SAT scores. We can help with that! Call us today at 268-8556 to enroll in one of our SAT Prep courses. We will be running them ongoing for the next few months and the sooner you get in the better!
