Press Release Body = WATERTOWN, MA - September 5, 2006 -In an effort to prepare juniors for one of the most important achievements in their high school career, Summit Educational Group has created PowerPrep, a unique approach to SAT preparation. Designed especially for the class of 2008, PowerPrep consists of comprehensive PSAT class instruction and an intensive one-on-one, in home SAT tutoring program.
PowerPrep participants will gain vital hands-on experience with the PSAT by taking a real practice test under simulated test-taking conditions at the outset of the program. Throughout the four session PSAT workshop, students receive a thorough introduction to all aspects of standardized test taking by identifying individual strengths and weaknesses, learning powerful, up-to-date strategies and how to apply them to different types of test questions.
After taking the PSAT, students will then reap the benefits of individualized attention with a 12 week, one-on-one, in-home tutoring program customized with the student's unique needs and goals in mind. Using the results from the PSAT preparation and a SAT diagnostic test, tutors work with each student to develop a customized preparation plan to score to their highest potential on the SAT.
"Talking with parents who just now are signing their kids up for tutoring was really instrumental in bringing about the creation of this program," says Susan Higgins, Vice President of Summit Educational Group. "Finding that their teens are stressed out, overwhelmed and unprepared for a 3 hour plus test (or tests, in many cases) that can have a profound affect on college admissions, many expressed the wish that they had started earlier. Introducing students to the fundamentals of the PSAT, then leading them through an unhurried, thorough tutoring program for the SAT, PowerPrep offers a manageable solution to this monumental challenge."
