Portland SAT Tutoring FAQ
Preparing to go to college is an exciting time in a student's life. But before they can enroll in the college of their choice, they have to apply, and part of the application process is taking the SAT. Most colleges and universities require students to send in their SAT score with their application. The score a student receives on the SAT might significantly impact their chances of getting accepted into their top schools. That is why it's crucial that students prepare in advance for the test. This can be done through individual studying, but a much more efficient way to study for the SAT is with the help of a personal tutor. If you're getting ready to take the SAT, consider partnering with a personal SAT tutor. They could help you review all of the complex test material and show you what you can expect on test day.
