For students interested in taking a Revolution Prep ACT or SAT prep course this Fall, class sign up is now live on the Revolution Prep website. Seniors and Juniors will be getting a mailing about the offerings in a few weeks, but I wanted to be sure and give everyone the information with the maximum amount of advance notice.
Things to Remember:
1) Test Prep is not required for all students. It is just an option for students that need a more formal and structured test prep schedule. In addition, while ElRo partners with Revolution Prep, students should feel free to use any company they find affordable and appropriate to their needs.
2) Juniors have PLENTY of time for test prep. I only make you aware of the offerings so that you can familiarize yourself with the options. Juniors should pay particular attention to: the Mock ACT in September (a great way to make a small investment and get more practice with the less familiar of the test options, the ACT). If you decide you prefer the ACT, we will also be offering an ACT prep class for the December ACT. It is reasonable to consider that class if it fits with your schedule. There will be courses offered in the spring as well.
3) The fastest way to see the offerings is to enter ElRo's zip code, 10021, into the main page. This will take you to the course schedules. Please note that the SAT and ACT courses have their own tabs. To see the ACT options (including the Mock) click on the ACT tab at the top of the page.
4) Revolution Prep does offer need-based scholarships. If you think you qualify for one, email me and I'll be sure to get you an application. Do not register online if you plan to apply for a scholarship.
5) There is a new bonus with Revolution Prep class registration - online booster classes for the exam of your choice, including SAT IIs. Learn more about booster classes here.
6) Signing up for a prep class does not automatically sign you up for the actual exam. Visit www.collegeboard.com or www.actstudent.org to register for the SAT and ACT, respectively. Email me if you qualify for a fee waiver. Spots fill up VERY quickly and many test centers are already full.
7) As always, if standardized testing is not your strength and you do not feel it is an accurate representation of your ability, consider schools that are testing optional and will instead focus on your high school transcript.
