At our school, 11th and 12th grade students are schedule to take a course called 'College Advisory'. As the college counselor, I meet with students to discuss all aspects of the college application process, including creating a college list, drafting a resume and researching financial aid options.
One roadblock our students have consistently faced is the SATs. Students are experiencing increased anxiety towards the SATs due to the lack of proper preparation. As a result of having a lack of preparation for the SATs, our students are potentially limiting their college options.
Through this project, I will be able to provide my students with the Kaplan Test Prep book as part of the College Advisory curriculum. I plan on starting SAT prep focusing on the Reading and Writing section using this book, as having a strong foundation in this particular area will increase student performance on the Math portion of the SAT as well.
