Why Should You Prep?
While many colleges have gone “test optional,” statistics released by most selective schools show preferential admission for students who submit test scores that are above the average scores these colleges receive. Students who are considering applying to selective universities, or competitive programs within these schools, might want to consider some test prep. Studying for and taking the SAT or ACT does NOT commit you to submitting scores, but this DOES allow you to see how you test, and decide whether to submit test scores to particular colleges.
In partnership with SAT/ACT prep pro Andrew Wilburn, we’re offering a couple of SAT Workshops in early April. These sessions are not comprehensive for all questions on the SAT; instead, they’re designed to help students get the most critical tips in a couple of hours. Students who want to dive deeply into test prep can contact Andrew or a number of other providers in our community for more extensive prep services. Class size will be limited to 20 students to facilitate answering students' questions as they arise.
Choice of dates:
Saturday April 1 9 AM to noon
Sunday April 2 noon to 3 PM
Location: Step Ahead Idaho at Hillcrest Library 5248 West Overland Road in Boise
Cost: $120 All of our programs, including this one, are sliding scale or even fully scholarshipped, for students with financial need. Just indicate that you’d like to talk about this option with us when you sign up.
Instructor: Andrew Wilburn, a graduate of Boise High, Seattle University, and The Ohio State University, has mastered the art of the SAT, having worked with students for over 10 years, focusing on strategies and key concepts so that you can show up on test day more relaxed and ready. These sessions are designed to prepare current juniors for this year’s Idaho SAT Day on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, or other spring/summer SAT dates.
The workshop will cover these topics:
Brief Overview of SAT (sections, info tested, etc)
Mindset for the Test
General Strategy
3 Key Concepts to Know in the Verbal and Math Sections
Cheap Tricks the SAT Uses
Free Resources for Students
Open Question Time
Determining the next step after high school is one of the most important decisions a student will make. There is a wealth of opportunities available—college, university, community college, trade school—but navigating the maze of applications, testing, and financial aid can seem overwhelming to both students and parents.
