Are these College Board Tests really necessary? What about Test Optional school? When should my student take the PSAT and then the SAT? Should she/he also take the ACT? Should my student take both? When specifically should my student take these tests and how many times? If my student’s scores are lower than I expected should they retake the tests? We explore these and many other deeply personal questions. Some are easily answered while others will depend upon your student’s college list as well as to which schools your student will apply. We discuss each of these questions in detail and carefully prepare your student for these tests if and when needed. Since some students are quite bright and learn extremely well yet find testing a particularly difficult task, Corin Education Strategies has a battery of highly skilled resources to whom we refer your student for specialized assistance with testing.
