Test prep for college entrance exams is a key factor in improving a student’s chances of being accepted into his/her first-choice college or university. According to the College Board, college entrance exams, such as the PSAT and the SAT, measure a student’s skills and also help colleges evaluate if a student is ready for college-level work. Becoming familiar with these tests and learning the tips and strategies associated with them can result in higher test scores and ultimately, merit scholarships for high school students.
