Taking the SATs and ACTs are daunting for every high school student. For every parent, however, the SATs and ACTs bring up the question of whether or not extra help is necessary for their child. Ever since Stanley Kaplan began a tutoring service 70 years ago, other test preparation companies have developed from his original concept. According to this article, Kaplan makes $2 billion in revenue and more than a million students register for the courses offered. Still, although it is a booming business, parents must consider these two questions:
1. Is your son and daughter motivated to set aside time to study?
2. How much money are you willing to spend?
If your son and daughter are willing to set aside time, then enrolling into SAT or Act prep courses can be useful. In addition, any point increase for the standardized test scores is always beneficial. Nevertheless, high school seniors also need strong extracurricular activities, a good GPA, and convincing essays.
