Why Take the SAT or ACT?

Test anxiety? Neurologically diverse? Universities not requiring the tests? Any of these may be why you may not sign your student up for the SAT ... yet. Now, I will explain why you should consider registering your student to take an exam and why you need a quality course or tutor to help your student succeed.

Test anxiety can be overcome in one very effective way. Practice. GalaxyPhi Math allows each student to take the online course as often as it is offered within the calendar year. Any student, brilliant as they may be, can feel extreme pressure if they are not allowed the time to ensure they will perform well on an exam, especially standardized exams. The catch is that students need to know that they are progressing in the "right" direction during their study time. A qualified and certified tutor can help with this by providing proven techniques and strategies to help the student feel prepared. That is the kind of tutor you will get with GalaxyPhi Math.

Accommodations are available for many different, medically documented reasons. College counselors are an excellent source to provide parents with the forms and tasks necessary to provide those accommodations. Accommodations should never be anything to be ashamed of, and an increasing number of students require accommodations. We are all different, and that should be celebrated, not hidden. Diversity will bring on our future

discoveries. Your GalaxyPhi Math tutor will help in any way possible to help find information and resources for accommodations with testing. GalaxyPhi Math also pledges to continue learning about the best teaching methods for neurologically diverse students.

So, your student's top choice is not requiring the test. She will get in without the test. Don't be so sure... Not that your student does not deserve to gain admission into the school; the problem is that gaining admission to a school is not an exact science. You cannot count on admission until you have an acceptance letter. So, you should apply to multiple schools. I am willing to bet that some schools will require the SAT or ACT. Also, students tend to change their minds upon visiting various schools. You never know. Beyond that, what if your student does exceptionally well? Many of these schools are looking at the "entire package." An excellent score will not hurt.

GalaxyPhi Math will prepare your student(s) for success. The SAT course offered through GalaxyPhi Math will provide the strategies necessary for success through confidence, personalized tutoring, and individualized plans. Your student will be ready to take on the test!
