One of the most stressful times for students and their parents is when preparing for and taking the SAT/ACT college admissions tests. Should you study on your own? Should you get a tutor? Do you know what scores the colleges that you want to apply for are requiring? There are many objectives to take into consideration when preparing for the SAT and ACT tests.
If your study skills are lacking, or if you are uncertain of your “target range”, then a tutor is absolutely critical for you to set goals, study specific areas that you personally need to work on, take practice tests, and compare your progress. Many students need months of training and tutoring, but with the distraction of social media, hanging out with friends, and binge-watching Game of Thrones, who is going to keep you accountable? If you want to apply to the University of Miami, they don’t want anything less than a 1300 on the SAT. If you are applying to Yale University, they require at least 1490 but prefer 1520 and higher. For ACT scores, the University of California, Berkeley expects 31-34, while Florida State University wants 25-29. Understanding your target range is why practice tests and tutoring are beneficial to keep you on track.
Both tests are part of the college admissions and merit-based scholarships protocol, and while they’re similar, it’s essential to understand the difference between the two tests:
SAT – Includes:
• Reading (5 passages)
• Writing & Language
Scores: Based on a 400-1600-point scale (200-800 per two sub-scores split between Math and a combined Reading and Writing score)
ACT – Includes:
• Reading (4 passages)
• English

ACT/SAT Testimonials:
Amazing, KnowledgePoints is a fantastic organization that values the education of its students greatly. My high school GPA was not great, and I was afraid that I would not get accepted to any of the universities that I applied to. My last hope was to perform well on the ACT. My previous composite score on the ACT was a 24, but with the help of the amazing teachers at KnowledgePoints I was able to achieve a composite score of 29. With this high score, I was accepted into both University of South Florida and Florida State University. The owner, Rocky Contreras, the Center Director, Randee Williams, and all the teachers who helped me were wonderful and kind people who made me feel comfortable being there. This organization helped save my future, and I am very thankful for that. I recommend KnowledgePoints to anyone who wants to ensure a successful education. – Dylan D.
It was great!
My experience with KnowledgePoints was nothing but amazing. I first visited the Land O’ Lakes site for Alegbra 2 tutoring and later on I began taking their ACT prep classes. My math tutor was very sweet, and my grade improved greatly from the tutoring. My ACT prep classes were extremely helpful and proved very much worth it when I scored higher than I thought I would on the ACT. All of the tutors there are kind, considerate, and help students in every way they can. I always recommend KnowledgePoints to my friends and to anyone who needs their outstanding tutoring. With my high ACT score I can now apply to many colleges and have the ability to choose where I want to go, all thanks to their amazing services. – Hannah M.
