Academics Plus Tutoring Center

Parents of high school students often feel overwhelmed and bewildered by all the information about the standardized exams students must take in preparation for college. At Academics Plus Tutoring Center, we are often asked questions such as: When should my child take the SAT? What does the SAT measure? What are the SAT subject tests? How many SAT subject tests must my child take? Which SAT subject tests should my child take?

We figured the questions our students ask are most likely the same questions our readers have, so over the next few weeks we will post the most frequently asked questions and our responses. Feel free to post your own questions in our comment box, and we will do our best to answer your question as well.

What is Early Action?

Put simply, Early Action is simply a promise by universities and colleges to review applications on an rushed schedule.

Upsides to Early Action:  Students will get admission decisions from the colleges/universities in advance of the typical notification date. Unlike the Early Decision program, the Early Action program does not require students who are accepted to attend.

Downsides to Early Action: Whereas students who participate in the Early Decision plan, get the benefit of Early Decision preference (its easier to get into schools using the Early Decision program), students who participate in the Early Action plan don’t enjoy nearly the same level of preference (there is a slight advantage, but not as significant as that provided by Early Decision).

Our goal is to make this blog the most helpful and informative blog on Academic Success and SAT preparation. To do this, we need your help, so please give us your feedback and make comments to our blog!!
