Test Preparation
SAT preparation is a highly lucrative field. Many companies and organizations offer test preparation in the form of books, classes, online courses, and tutoring.
Although the College Board maintains that the SAT is essentially uncoachable, some research suggests that tutoring courses result in an average increase of about 20 points on the math section and 10 points on the verbal section.
Famous quotes containing the words test and/or preparation:
“No drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the sources of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Living each day as a preparation for the next is an exciting way to live. Looking forward to something is much more fun than looking back at something—and much more constructive. If we can prepare ourselves so that we never have to think, “Oh, if I had only known, if I had only been ready,” our lives can really be the great adventure we so passionately want them to be.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
