For Juniors Who Did Not Score Well on Their First SAT
Ivy Bound hears groans of "What do I do now!" from students and parents immediately following the release of most SAT score reports. Students who did not receive the highest possible grade should consider the following general advice.
Improving Your SAT Score the Second Time
Know that you will have many more opportunities to shine in the future. When a poor score is replaced by a strong score, colleges are less likely to consider it a factor in their admissions decisions.
Colleges do not average scores. While it is possible that this poor score will remain on your record, it will not be factored into the overall average of your scores. When considering a student's application, colleges look at their strongest standardized test scores.
It's possible that college coaches won't have as much patience. It is possible that you will need to move quickly in order to improve your scores and bring them up to the level required by the coach if you are a recruitable athlete. It would be to your advantage to enroll in tutoring that would adequately prepare you for the SAT in June. If your preparation must wait until the summer, communicate to the coach as soon as possible that you are still very interested in remaining on her or his recruiting roster and that, after receiving tutoring, the coach should anticipate seeing significantly higher scores from you.
Students can anticipate improvements ranging from 150 to 250 points with the use of Ivy Bound. The SAT is a test that can be prepared for. When it comes to preparing students for the SAT, both our materials and our tutors have proven to be effective.
If you did not put in a lot of effort to prepare for the test before the most recent one, you should anticipate that if you work hard and get some good SAT coaching, your score will be much higher in the fall. Because the SAT is now administered on August 26, your preparation for the exam, as well as the test itself, do not have to interfere with the other responsibilities or activities you have during your senior year.
Ivy Bound is an established company that can provide you with tutoring that is specifically tailored to meet your requirements. If that is only for one of the five sections on the SAT, then the amount of tutoring that you need from us will be minimal. If assistance is required for all five, the scope of the project may be expansive. Get in touch with one of our Test Prep Advisors to learn more about the ways in which we can assist you in the upcoming months.
Ivy Bound provides clients with individualized guidance and recommendations. If you are new to the process of applying to colleges, please contact us by phone or email and let us know your scores, as well as any previous preparation activities and expectations you have. We are able to assist you in formulating a sensible study plan that will propel you to significantly higher score levels.
