Personal Statement

“As ACT and SAT test scores continue to be important to institutions of higher education concerning student admission and scholarship distribution, parents and high school students must be made aware of the potential impact such scores can have on a student’s academic career. This is especially so for parents and students of various socio-economic groups. Therefore, I believe it is imperative that all parents and students understand the ‘yet’ powerful importance of standardized tests, and be equipped with effective tips and strategies for improved student performance.”
