Jun questions should be directed to Linda Campbell, College Guidance Director Mission statement: The mission of the College Guidance Office is to help students and their families understand and successfully navigate the college application process with the ultimate goal for students of enrollment in an institution of higher education which will meet their intellectual, social, and emotional needs and enable them to fulfill their aspirations. Greetings from LCDS College Guidance!! This will be a busy but exciting year for all seniors. Many of you contacted me directly or indirectly to express concerns about completing the Common Application , saying that you are not applying to any schools that use it. Thats fine. In part, the reason that we ask you to fill it out is to provide us, your counselors, with up-to-date information about youand to give us a draft of an essay so that we can help you with writing skills. Even if the topic is not one on your particular application, you may be able to use some variation of it for your personal statement. The essay you write for the Common Application is merely a rough draft. The bottom line is that we will not be able to schedule your individual meeting until you submit the application. We are making appointments in the order that we receive the applications, so it is in your best interests to finish this assignment as soon as possible. This deadline is particularly critical for anyone planning to apply Early Decision.

This year, we are coordinating with Girls Preparatory School to provide a wide range of options for your sons. Two different national test prep companies will offer their courses on our campuses. These options will provide courses taught on a variety of days and at a variety of times and at a variety of prices that should allow each student who is interested to take advantage of a test prep program. This letter will give you some information about test dates, times, locations and prices. Please read it carefully. It may be helpful to print a copy and keep it in a convenient location so that you can refer to it throughout the year. I am often asked to recommend a particular class for an individual student. McCallie does not endorse any particular test prep class. We believe that the best preparation for standardized tests is a solid academic background in a core curriculum with emphasis on reading, writing and problem solving. However, we recognize and appreciate the desire of some students to put extra time and energy into preparing for these tests. Therefore, the right class for your son will be the one which you can comfortably afford and which your son will make a commitment to attend. Each organization offering a class has a solid reputation, good instructional personnel and helpful practice materials.

Extractions: Now is not the time to roll out of bed, throw on whatever's closest to you and make a mad dash to your testing lab. Standardized tests like the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and American College Testing (ACT) Assessment are important variables that can round out your college application or put you on shaky ground. Standardized tests are an important part of the admissions process at many colleges. These exams offer colleges a consistent measure of your academic potential against other students. So all other factors being equal, these tests are likely to heavily influence your chances of getting into a particular school. Your SAT and ACT scores need to be up to the standards of the university to which you're seeking admission. Some schools admit only those with the best scores and encourage students to take the test more than once. To ensure the highest possible score, it is very important to prepare for the tests. The Tests PSAT SAT 1 SAT II: Subject Tests ... Test Taking Tips The Tests There are several types of standardized tests. The two major tests used for college entrance exams are the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the American College Testing (ACT) Assessment.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC TEXT: INTRODUCTION Testing students from backgrounds different from the culture in which the test was developed magnifies the probability of invalid results. In addition to the limits of test theory and the constraints associated with a given test, the test administrator is faced with several potential sources of error arising from the differences among the two cultures. These include lack of compatibility of the languages, differences in the experiential backgrounds of the students being tested from those for whom the test was developed, and differences in affective dispositions toward handling testing environments between the groups of students. The testing of many American Indian children using exams developed for the majority American society represents a case of cross-cultural testing which is likely to produce invalid results in the form of underestimation of student performance. This digest discusses limitations of the use of standardized tests with many American Indian students and delineates sources and consequences of invalid test results ensuing from the administration of standardized tests to unacculturated American Indian students.
Extractions: Connecticut Mastery Test With the new federal education laws, standardized testing has become an increasingly important issue. The Connecticut Mastery Test, commonly known as the CMT, is the test used to monitor student and district progress in Connecticut. Because your student's scores on the CMT effect placement and possibly promotion, it is important that all students do their best. We need to work together to insure the best results. The school system provides instruction and review for the test. Parents can help by making sure their students get a good night's sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast, and come with a good attitude. Working together, we can make the testing experience less stressful and more productive! Links: For more information about the CMT, visit the Connecticut CMT web pages . Here you can download brochures for parents describing the testing program. Note: There are plans to change the testing period from early fall to early spring in the school year 2005-06, as well as add a Science Performance Test in the year 2008. Specific information may be obtained by visiting the above site and selecting "CMT Calendar."

Extractions: Understanding the SAT I, SAT II, ACT, PLAN and EXPLORE tests By Mary Ann Newbill Because all high schools have different standards of performance and their own unique grading scale, most colleges use standardized tests the SAT I and the ACT to compare students in the same specific areas of knowledge and on the same skills. Standardized test results are one of a number of factors considered by most colleges in the admissions process. For large public universities that process thousands of undergraduate applications, test scores and high school grades often enter into a formula that automatically accepts, rejects or defers a student's application. Only students in the "deferred" category are reviewed by an admission professional. For the majority of students, there's no need to take both tests. In 2000, The University of California at Berkeley, for example, used a formula with grades and test scores only, which would make how a student performs on those tests more important than at Bates College, in Maine, where test scores are optional. Determining which test to take is an important step in knowing how to prepare best for the standardized test piece of the college application. Most students will have natural abilities in either math or verbal arenas; some students will excel in both. Some students perform very well on tests in general; others don't.

Extractions: Our goal at Georgetown Day School is always to support the individual learning needs of our students while also maintaining our academic standards. In the past few years, an increased number of students have been referred for psycho-educational, neuro-psychoeducational, and/or ADHD evaluations for the purpose of diagnosing a learning disability, ADHD or other issues that may have an impact on learning. At the High School , many of these students are seeking accommodations for standardized testing testing (e.g. PSAT, SAT, AP, ACT). The documentation must meet specific criteria in order for students to receive accommodations on standardized tests. Due to the variability of the reports, GDS is providing you with guidelines set forth by College Board and ACT. In order for a student to receive accommodations on the PSAT, SAT and AP exams, GDS must complete an eligibility form describing the recommended accommodations and confirm that the documentation meets the guidelines set forth by The College Board. If the documentation does not meet the criteria, the student may utilize the appeals process and submit the complete report for approval by The College Board. In order for a student to receive accommodations on the ACT, GDS is required to submit the complete diagnostic report to ACT, along with an eligibility form supporting the need for the accommodation(s). The determination of a student's eligibility to receive accommodations is made by ACT.
