Special Fall Offer! Join a class

Posted on by

Getting it together for the fall tests is always a challenge for families. Putting together a group of students is also a challenge. This fall I’m putting together a group class your student–10th, 11th or 12 grader–can join. I can take up to six students for 4 Monday nights. (Sept 19, 26, Oct 3 and Oct 10 from 6–7:30)  Students will prepare for the PSAT/SAT mutiple choice questions in Reading Comprehension and Writing. Each student pays $285 and will purchase and bring a copy of the book The Official SAT Study Guide, 2d ed. For $25 additional, I will review up to two essays and give specific comments. This is a big discount and a chance to get group pricing without having to organize your own cats.

If this doesn’t suit your schedule or if you’re taking the October ACT let’s talk about what you need.  portlandtestprep@gmail.com

Busy Back to School

Each year I find the October and November SATs (and PSAT) sneak up on students and their families. (there also an ACT Test date on October 22–registration is still open.) If you’re a senior trying to “up” your test score, make sure you’re ready for the test–email me and corral a few of your friends to study together, if that’s good for you. I still have some availability and I always scramble to try and help all the seniors who want prep. But why panic? Make it easier for yourself. 

Are you thinking you’ll take the PSAT without prep–hey it’s just a practice?  It’s a more valuable experience if you start your prep early and see what you can do with some test-taking skills. It’s a great idea to use your free test-taking opportunities to see what you’ll need.
