Reporting SAT Scores To Colleges

College Prep High School High School Tests Sage Advice

Reporting SAT Scores To Colleges I was just talking to one of my Gold Care Club members about the cost of sending SAT scores to colleges. Without planning, it can get pricey When you register for the SAT test, the student can indicate up to four college recipients during registration. Only four score sends are included with your registration; you have to pay to send additional scores. I believe that it is $11-$12 per college when...

How Homeschoolers Measure Up: Comparing Percentiles

High School High School Tests Homeschool Career Learning Disabilities

How Homeschoolers Measure Up with Test Scores Homeschoolers tend to do GREAT on standardized test scores. For example: on average, homeschoolers score above the 79th percentile in reading. But what does that mean to you? How does your homeschooler measure up? Are you average? Of course not! Homeschooling alone can't guarantee that your child will score in the 79th percentile in reading, because every child is unique! But what homeschooing CAN do, is allow your child...

How Much For This Test Score?

scholarships

I wish I could give nice, concrete, set-in-stone answers for everyone. Especially when it comes to money, it's so important to get answers. But paying for college is a lot like buying a house. It requires a lot of estimation as well as serious research. Are there any charts out there that break down SAT and ACT scores and scholarship dollars? I understand that all colleges do not cost the same and the dollar amount in...

Reach, Fit and Safety Colleges

College Prep High School Tests

Ah statistics! You gotta love 'em! Except when you don't.... But if you DO like numbers, this blog post is for you! Let me explain the concept of "reach, fit, and safety" for math lovers! To find a reach, fit, and safety college, you have to look at "Admissions Data" found online and in books. Little tip; just Google the school name and the words "admission data" and you'll find it. Then compare it to...

Do you REALLY need that test?

High School Tests

The SAT and ACT are college admission tests, used for college admission purposes. Some colleges will want those test scores even if your child is older, in order for them to enter for an undergraduate degree. Because it's hard to forecast the future, I suggest giving one of those tests to students regardless of the situation. Although it's relatively painless to take the test as a high school student, it would be much more painful to...

Test Scores vs. Values

inspiration

"Failure" in a homeschool doesn't have anything to do with a test score. Our family has a motto: "never compare, someone always gets hurt." This is particularly true when comparing your child's test scores to someone else, or comparing your homeschool to someone else. In fact, "Failure" isn't about test scores at all. Jeremiah 9:23-24 This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast...

High School Math - How Fast Can You Run?

High School Tests Homeschool Math HS Math/Science

One mom wrote to me, concerned that her child's SAT scores might be low because he hadn't yet finished Algebra 2. She wondered if they would be better off rushing through Algebra 2 at break-neck speed, hoping to increase his test scores. I do think that being 1/2 way through Algebra 2 may have affected the scores. When finished with the course, math section scores should increase. It can help if you re-take the test in...
