Test Optional Tips and Trends
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were 1,070 colleges that allowed applicants to choose whether or not to submit SAT or ACT scores. Over the past year, about 700 more colleges temporarily suspended their test score requirements, and at least half of those schools are currently considering extending their test optional policies. Despite the fact that life is slowly returning to normal, test optional policies seem poised to continue for the foreseeable future. How have test optional policies impacted students? Who should still take the SAT or ACT? What are other ways, besides test scores, to stand out?

A+ Test Prep and Tutoring was a class act that delivered results! I highly recommend them. They will teach your child how best to study and take tests based on their individual strengths.

The tutors at A+ Test Prep and Tutoring provided my son with the test-taking strategies and encouragement he needed to become more confident in his ability to do well on the SAT. With his tutors' guidance and a lot of hard work, Peter improved his score on the SAT by 100 points!

It was a pleasant surprise to find that while studying with A+ Test Prep my child actually enjoyed learning to take the SAT! The tutor was calm and supportive and very knowledgable about the content of the test as well as testing strategies. The office almost immediately answered all of my questions and was friendly and helpful. They made the potentially stressful experience of taking the SAT a positive and interesting challenge for my child.

A+ was fantastic to work with. They were flexible in every way -- in finding times to meet and being available online or in person. Our son really liked his tutors and he's really happy with his ACT scores. As a parent, I liked how available Dan and his staff were to answer my questions. We'll definitely use A+ for our younger kids!

Our experience with A+ tutoring truly exceeded all our expectations. The staff was very approachable, the communication was easy and efficient and the whole process worked perfectly smoothly. Our son's score improved for over 150 points within 10 weeks - a tremendous improvement. His tutor was competent, kind, and knew how to struck the right balance between practice, homework and encouragement. They get an A+ from us!

Executive Function (EF) tutor - 11th grade
First, wow! I wish I started with A+ sooner
We evaluated local tutoring services for my son who is on the EF bubble...he has trouble being organized and it effects his grades, but it isn't bad enough that the school district will provide assistance.
Dan was a great resource in our evaluation. We selected a different path and were terribly disappointed in the tutor's own organization and reporting. They were more disorganized than my son whom they were supposed to help with organization! (Missed appointments, no summary of the call...)
We went back to A+ and were amazed at the improvement in communications, organization, professionalism and connection with both our son and us.
Our son is in a much better place and it is due in large part to the A+ team. I wish I started with A+ and didn't lose 2 months...they are the best in the area! Tell Dan if you would like to speak more with me...it is a tough situation as a parent.

Used A+ for 3 of my kids and I am thrilled with the results! Scores went up drastically throughout the process and translated to amazing SAT and ACT scores. They clearly know what they are doing.
