Each year on February 14, many people give or receive a box of chocolates to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and within the box, there are different types of pleasant tasting candies. This year EA Test Prep is offering our box of assorted “sweet” ideas for high school students.
Here are a few ways to “sugar coat” your relationship with your college counselor.
- Remember your college counselor is a key player in the college application process; therefore, it is very important to develop a strong bond with that person.
- Set up an appointment with your counselor instead of waiting to be called to the guidance office.
- Develop an honest relationship with your counselor.
- Remember to express appreciation for the amount of work he or she will be doing on your behalf.
Here are some “delectable” ideas about taking the SAT or ACT.
- Drink a reasonable amount of water on the morning of the SAT or ACT in order to make sure that you are properly hydrated. A person is approximately 60% water, which helps to explain why a dehydrated person doesn’t perform as well on as a person who drank a glass of water with their breakfast on the morning of the test.
- Remember to take water and a high protein snack to drink and eat during your test’s break.
- Stay away from people who are nervous when you arrive at the test. Their anxiety can make you feel tense. Let your friends know this before you the test day.
- The SAT and ACT answer choices are designed to confuse you so avoid using them to find the answer. Think of your answer first, and you will be more likely to get the question correct.
- When answering a reading comprehension question, if you need to refer back to the text more than two times, skip that question. Return to it after all the others have been answered.
As you “eat” these ideas, please digest them carefully. If you would like to get a complete “box of sweet ideas,” please join EA Test Prep for our next six-week session. As always, students have the option of preparing for the English/Reading, Math, or both. No other program in the area offers that option, which is a “sweetheart” of an offer. Don’t hesitate to contact EA Test Prep by phone at 845-582-0017 or visit the website at www.eatestprep.com.
Please share the EA Test Prep box of sweet ideas with your friends. Happy Valentine’s Day!
