Tutors Can Determine if Students Are Doing Their Homework, When They are Completing It, and How Scores Are Improving

Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2016 -- Perhaps the biggest leap from high school to the college level is the increase in personal responsibility. High school teachers give assignments that feature the same concepts that are evaluated on quizzes, and again later on tests and finals. College and university professors rely on students to take responsibility and do the work outside of class so that they are prepared when the test day comes. In their own way, the tutors and coaches at SAT Prep Group are helping to instill that sense of personal accountability in their students. The e-courses offered by the test experts provide the tutors with key insights into the study habits of the students. Tutors are able to assess if students are doing their homework, when they are completing it, and how their scores are being affected.

When the new SAT goes into use next month it will mark the biggest change in the test in 30 years. Changes to the exam include eliminating the penalty for guessing, scratching vocabulary that students will never use again, and the addition of an all-new essay section that is now optional for the first time. In addition, College Board, the creators of the new SAT, are bringing back the old testing scale of 400-1600. The changes will surely trip up unprepared students, which is why the tutors and coaches of SAT Prep Group are hard at work with their students to ensure they are fully ready for the important test.

"100% accountability has always been the goal with these new e-courses, and we can genuinely say that two months into it, the courses are fulfilling the expectations we had at the onset," explained company owner and founder Steve Kirshenbaum. "Much like a teacher in the classroom we want to use the e-courses to confirm that students are absorbing the information, putting in the work, and seeing results."

Standardized Testing Gurus Make Changes to Online SAT/ACT classes, Math Modules, and Video Library

Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2016 -- For 90 years the SAT has been the barometer by which students from different high schools are measured. Colleges and Universities rely on the test as a guide, to inform them of the relative intelligence of applicants. Every few years the College Board, the creators of the SAT test, make adjustments to the exam, be it tweaks to the questions, the existence of an essay section, or the scoring rubric. As those changes are implemented, the students' approach to preparing for the test is fine-tuned. SAT Prep Group, based in Boynton Beach, Florida, has been helping high school students prepare for the important test since 2001. Most recently they unveiled a complete overhaul of their program, with changes made to their online classes, math modules, video library, and study aids. The changes are intended to better help students achieve high scores on the exam, and gain a better understanding overall of the nuances of the test.

Over the course of the last 15 years the team of teaching professionals at SAT Prep Group has demonstrated remarkable durability and adaptability. As the test has changed over the years, they have crafted and pruned their program to reflect the latest exam standards. Their most recent changes to their online classes boast a mix of blended learning with video tutorials, quizzes, textbook homework assignments & reading assignments. The video library is a great addition, featuring video tutorials for every single problem on the test. Perhaps the most striking change, however, is the addition of brand new study aids:

- Grammar 101 Guide: a guide to the most common mistakes and how to avoid them
- ACT/SAT essay planning worksheet: this worksheet helps students understand the structure of an essay and grow comfortable writing it on their own(this strategy is unique to SAT Prep Group – you won't find any other company using it)

"Each of the changes that we have implemented recently are exciting and I am confident that our students will reap the benefits," explained company owner and founder Steve Kirshenbaum. "We felt it necessary to amend our methods and we are looking forward to how students will respond and how their scores will reflect the changes we've made to the program."
