There is no escaping the fact that doing well on these tests can put money in a student's pocket. Here are some popular colleges that will pad a student's pocket because of a good test score:
- University of Alabama
- Auburn University
- Mississippi State University
- Ole Miss
- University of Tennessee
- University of South Carolina
If you do not see your school listed here, fear not. This list is not exhaustive. Simply Google the name of the school + "scholarships." One look, and you will know that an investment in test prep for the SAT and the ACT can be a gamble worth taking. Though results are not a guarantee, it has been our experience that high school students raise their scores with good test prep that the student has ACTIVELY engaged with.
Five Points Test Prep
It is with this knowledge that we make you aware of an in-house test prep option for this spring with Five Points Test Prep. They are going to teach a class to prepare students for the May administration of the SAT. It will be a five week class that will be offered outside of school hours at NOHS. No longer will students have to go to downtown Athens to get this valuable experience. Classes will meet weekly March 26th thru May 6th, with the SAT being on the 7th. If you would like to learn more about this opportunity to see if it is a good fit, Dr. Lisa Barrett, founder of Five Points Test Prep, will be at NOHS on the night of the Curriculum Fair on February 22nd in the Commons Area. She will have flyers that share the specifics for the shortened five week version and information about the 12 week class as well. Because the class will be offered at NOHS, this will save travel and will earn our students a slight reduction in the cost ($565, our price) of the program that is offered at their office in Athens. The $565 investment could pay off in some good scholarship possibilities later on.
