Staying Competitive in the College Admissions Process

Huntington Learning Center

Huntington Learning Center

As the parent of a soon to be college bound student, you have probably heard it over and over again: college admissions is becoming more and more competitive each year. The number of high school seniors applying to four-year universities is increasing while the number of available seats remains the same. What does this mean for your child?According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, there are three major factors college admission representatives use in deciding who is accepted into their institution. These factors are grade point average, grades in college preparatory classes, and most importantly, standardized test scores. These standardized tests being either the SAT or ACT. 

Many high school students and their parents feel overwhelmed when it is time to start preparing for the SAT and/or ACT exams. When should I take it? What is a good score? Which test should I take? How many times should I take it?

These are just a few of the questions we hear on a daily basis at the Huntington Learning Center. Since 1977, the Huntington Learning Center has been improving test scores and preparing students for college level courses. Our powerful, easy-to-learn strategies have helped thousands of students overcome their fear of the exam and earn scores they can be proud of. We have also helped parents put together a timeline to help make the admissions process a little less stressful.

Here at the Huntington Learning Center, we cater to each student’s needs individually. There are no classes or small group sessions. Each session is focused on one-to-one verbal or math instruction. 

The students who enroll in the Huntington Learning Center’s exam prep program also learn valuable study skills that will help them succeed in college. Study skills such as proper note taking, time management, and organization are just a few of the skills a student learns after completing an exam prep program at the Huntington Learning Center. 

Throughout the process, our staff is ready to answer any questions students and parents may have about our SAT program. We work as a team to ensure test-taking and study skills foster the confidence and motivation necessary to succeed, both on the exam and in the future.

Our foremost goal is to help each student achieve the scores they strive for and gain the skills they need to be successful.
