 Huntington
Learning Center - "Free practice test on
either the SAT or the ACT "
next event date: TBA
Huntington
Learning Center is offering high school students
a free SAT or ACT practice test, with the analysis
and conference included as well.
You know how important and enriching a college
education is. But getting into college is tough
these days. The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated
that the number of college-bound high school
seniors will grow by 15% between 2001 and 2009.
Acceptance at some top schools has fallen to
as low as 10% of submitted applications. As
one of the most important criteria in college
admissions, the ACT/SAT Exams are arguably the
most important test a student will ever take!
Because of this, many students will seek to
maximize their performance by taking an ACT/SAT
Exam Prep course. At Huntington Learning Center,
we help college-bound students improve their
chances for acceptance to the college of their
choice.
