The importance of SAT scores for College

At the Tutoring Club of Jacksonville, we are getting ready to accept enrollment for our next SAT Prep class. If you have a student who is beginning/in the weeds of the process of looking at colleges, taking tests, monitoring their GPA, fulfilling their volunteer hours, etc., you may be facing a myriad of questions and wondering just how important the SAT score is to this whole process!

We found an article that actually addresses this question and a couple of other pieces of the college admissions process.

We believe SAT scores are VERY important.  Our SAT Prep class can improve scores dramatically.  The diagnostic test allows us to individualize your student's program to maximize his or her time with us.  Our special software system allows us to target specific test and study strategies to the items missed on practice tests.  The result is that students only study what they need to study.  We give them instruction and practice taking these exams.  We build on their strengths and fill in gaps and teach them how to strategically approach these tests.
