If you need to do a little searching, here are some sites t hat you might want to consider.The whole point of the SAT is to assess what you know and how well you can apply that knowledge in answering the multiple choice questions and practice exam questions. This is a very specific and exact exam, so you can count on this being a great indicator of how much prepared you are for the college level exams that follow. So, why waste time and money by trying to write essays when you can write your tests and essays online.One of the best parts about the SAT is that it is not only useful for high school students but also for those who are preparing for college entrance exams. Most colleges and universities that are accredited to use the SAT to measure how well their candidates have done in the previous courses. While many have state specific testing requirements, many do not require standardized tests for admission, and if you score well on the SAT verbal, the chances are that the college will give you an acceptance letter.Even those who have never taken a test before often dread the final exam because it is unlike anything they have ever studied before. But getting help online will make the test more bearable, and it will help you remember the material better, so you can use the materials in the future for taking tests.Verbal tests can be a real challenge, so if you feel you cannot handle the burden of studying without a verbal tutor, then look into online help. You will be able to concentrate more on the material that is taught and get much more done in less time. It is worth it, and you will be glad you did.

Only a few SAT and ACT dates are left this spring!

Only a few SAT and ACT dates are left this spring! Now that March SAT scores have been released and preparation for the April ACT is complete, its time to think about a game plan for the rest of the academic year.  The SAT and ACT are not offered over the summer, so its important to plan ahead and get in a full round of testing before the end of the school year.  For most students, a full round of testing consists of the  SAT, ACT, and SAT subject tests.  Read on for more details and important dates!Retaking the SATThe SAT is offered again this spring on  May 4  and  June 1, 2013.  The regular registration deadline for the May 4 SAT has already passed, but late registration is available until April 19.  The regular registration deadline for the June 1 SAT is May 7.  To register for the SAT, please visit  the College Boards website.You should plan your students testing schedule ahead of time so he or she has time for both the SAT and the SAT subject tests.  The SAT and SAT subject tests cannot be taken on the same day.If your s tudent has already completed a  full SAT preparation  or an SAT group class, AJ Tutoring offers the option of a 3-4 session SAT review.  During these review sessions, our tutors zero in on your students difficulties with the test and focus on fixing specific problem areas or content gaps.Taking the SAT subject testsSAT subject tests are also offered on  May 4  and  June 1, 2013.  Registration for the SAT subject tests takes place at  the College Boards website.SAT subject tests are offered in math, literature, US and world history, biology, chemistry, physics, and most languages.Students can take up to 3 subject tests in one day.If your student is taking AP exams in May, its a good idea to also take the subject test in that topic in May or June.  For example, many AP US History students do well on the subject test in US History with little additional review.To prepare for  SAT subject tests, students typically meet with our tutors for 3-4 sessions for each test to review content and cover test-taking strategies.The ACT: another college admissions optionColleges accept both the SAT and ACT for admissions, so for most students it makes sense to try both tests and see which one yields a higher score.  The ACT is faster-paced but more straightforward than the SAT.The ACT is offered one more time this spring on  June 8, 2013.  The registration deadline is May 3.  To register for the ACT, please visit  the ACTs website.AJ Tutoring offers two options for  ACT preparation.  For students who have not completed a full SAT prep or would like more comprehensive prep for the ACT, we have a full 8-9 session one-on-one tutoring program.  For students who have already prepared for the SAT, we offer a shorter 4-session ACT hybrid review, focusing on the differences between the two tests.If youd like to sign up for SAT or ACT review or speak with a director to develop a testing plan for your student, please give us a call at (650) 331-3251, or email info@ajtutoring.com.  Were looking forward to talking with you!

Success for Independent Learners Getting out of College Faster

Success for Independent Learners Getting out of College Faster Success for Independent Learners: Getting out of College Faster Success for Independent Learners: Getting out of College Faster There are many students out there who excel in a traditional school environment. However, it’s a struggle for independent learners to sit and endure the structure of a classroom day after day in high school and then repeat the same thing in college for another 4 to 5 years. Independent learners are often creative learners and good problem solvers, but theyre sometimes unaware of potentially beneficial avenues that can help them get their college degree faster and more effectively. 1. Take AP tests (without taking the course) The vast majority of students will only achieve a 3 or higher on their AP exams (AP exams are scored from 1 to 5 and a 3, 4 or 5 is considered a passing score) if they take the full year AP course, however, a few students can study for these exams on their own or with a private Irvine tutor and still receive a passing score. Its a little-known fact that students are not required to take the AP course to take the exam. Students who are either highly independent learners or those who wish to take an AP exam other than what is offered at school may be able to get several credits out of the way before entering college (READ: Ask a Nerd! Taking the AP Exam). 2. CLEP tests Independent learners may also do well on CLEP tests, also offered by the College Board. CLEP stands for College-Level Examination Program and offers independent learners a chance to demonstrate their mastery of college-level material by taking an exam rather than the course. Although the CLEP tests were originally designed to aid nontraditional students, such as those who were homeschooled or had a nontraditional high school education, members of the military entering college after their service, or adult students returning to school later in life, traditional high school students can also take advantage of the CLEP exams as well. Independent learners can potentially take multiple exams and avoid several months sitting in a classroom reviewing material they already know. 3. Community college credit Although most students are unaware, many universities allow enrolled students to take a certain number of credits at a community college. This can benefit students who will be living back at home during the summer and want to get a few credits out of the way. This is an especially good option for students who were locked out of the class they wanted to take for their major or who would like to save a lot of money by paying community college fees instead of university fees. Community college credit is a great option for independent and determined students (READ: Staying Focused at Community College). 4. Independent study within the university Independent learners can often earn several credits towards graduation by signing up for an independent study course. Its recommended that students sign up for an independent study with a professor they already have a good professional relationship with and one who is willing to meet with them once every two weeks or so to check on progress. Although independent study courses are self-led by the student, and the professor serves primarily as a guide, its a great option for an independent learner who doesnt want any more time in the classroom. This type of class can also demonstrate the ability to complete tasks, meet deadlines, and develop leadership skills that are valuable to future employers (READ: Choosing a Major in College). In short Although the traditional educational system works for many students, there are some highly independent learners who simply cannot stand to sit in a classroom any longer than they already have. Such students can take advantage of multiple exams and little-known avenues of opportunity that can help them get out of college in less than four years and save them a bundle of money. However, students should do research ahead of time to ensure that the university they attend (or want to attend) will except all of these CLEP, AP, and independent study credits prior to putting in the time to take these exams and courses.
