US Admissions Guide & SAT COMPUTEST Diagnostic Bundle

PrintEmail

The PREPSKILLS^® U.S. Admissions Guide is the only guidebook of its kind to target Canadian students who are applying to American universities. The US Admissions Guide includes information related to American colleges and universities, their respective admissions standards, the different modes of application (including the Common Application), and the means by which a student can differentiate her/his application from the thousands of other applications entering the admissions system. 

Crucially, the U.S. Admissions Guide also provides students with information related to scholarships and funding available to Canadian students and it offers students and counsellors a detailed break-down of “need blind” versus “need aware” funding structures at American colleges.

This bundles also includes the PREPSKILLS^® full-length, online SAT CompuTest. PREPSKILLS^® has developed the SAT CompuTest as a means of testing the skill levels of those students who are aiming to apply to American colleges for entry to undergraduate studies.

The SAT CompuTest mimics the official SAT experience and provides students with an excellent opportunity for determining what their score would be (on a scale ranging from 600 to 2400) prior to taking the official exam. The PREPSKILLS^® SAT CompuTest can, and should, be used to identify skills strengths and weaknesses so that students can better prepare for the official exam.

The SAT CompuTest examines students on reading comprehension (including short and long passage analysis and vocabulary usage), critical writing (including grammar and syntax), and mathematics (including number theory, upper-level algebra and geometry). The SAT CompuTest also includes a 25-minute essay section, which tests students on their ability to produce a concise, succinct and well-written piece of prose within a limited time period.

Each student receives a detailed score breakdown that offers an account of skills strengths and weaknesses in each of the three SAT skills areas—i.e. reading, writing and mathematics.
