The announced today that the will move to a digital and shortened format beginning in 2024. This is good news!
The SAT taken by prospective college students across the country will go all-digital starting in 2024 and will be an hour shorter, the College Board announced in a statement Tuesday.
Your PSAT score can be a helpful roadmap as you plan your next steps. Use your scores to shape your college list and identify areas that need improvement as you prepare for the SAT or ACT. Scores release December 6th and 7th!
For those of you who are beginning to shape your college list, here are some great thoughts from the President of Princeton University concerning the importance of understanding rankings. We couldn’t agree more!
“Rankings, however, are a misleading way to assess colleges and universities. There are lots of great places to get an education. America’s colleges and universities work collaboratively to educate the wide variety of people seeking degrees. Different schools may suit different students.”
What student applicants and their parents need is a Consumer Reports-type of college evaluation.
“It’s perfectly normal to be undecided when coming to college. In fact, that is what college is for. It’s an opportunity for students to surprise themselves with what they can do and who they can be.”
A professor's perspective on choosing a major.
There are so many amazing colleges and universities who offer great merit aid for students. The key is targeting those schools from the beginning of the process. Don’t let college “sticker price” scare you away!
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated already-existing trends, pushing the average tuition discount rate for first-time undergraduates to 53.9 percent this year. Expect discounting to keep climbing even after the pandemic subsides.
University of California to drop SAT and ACT through 2025
