ATT: PARENTS! Planning For College Admission Seminar

The West Hartford Chamber of Commerce and Ivy Bound are offering an informative seminar for parents.  The focus of the seminar is to prepare parents for what to expect in their child's high school years, particularly as it affects college admissions.  Conducted by one of Ivy Bound’s Senior Instructors the seminar will answer:

                *              What is tested on the current ACT / SAT and how should kids attack it?

                *              What’s the new Writing test like and how is it graded?

                *              Is the ACT / SAT fair?   Is it “coachable”?   Is it culturally biased?

                *              What are AP tests? Who should take these, and when?

                *              Don't grades count anymore?

                *              What's the use of the PSAT? 

                *              How does Early Decision affect admissions?

                *              What else are colleges looking for?
