Don't stress, learn how to maximize your test results with tutor Benjamin Cheong! We will explore how the SAT and ACT differ, how they are used by schools, and how students can best prepare for them.
This program will cover the common standardized tests used by US universities for college admittance. We'll go over the SAT and ACT, how they differ, and how students can prepare for them. We will also go over test-optional schools and how some schools may use these standardized tests for admittance.
Benjamin Cheong is an alumni of University of Chicago, having studied computer science and history. Cheong has tutored and been a consultant for the past 7 years, and he has helped numerous families with academic and college application challenges. Cheong has worked at learning centers such as Epic Academics and SelectivePrep.
Benjamin Cheong explains, "I believe that one of the biggest issues with college admittance is the lack of information equity provided for families to prepare for college. I believe that talks such as these will help with this sort of inequity in information. I also believe this will be extremely beneficial to families that recently moved to America, as they would have a hard time finding the information that might be considered common place for others."
