Ivy
Bound invites area parents of students ages 12 - 16 to one of two seminars next
weekend.  "Know the SAT / Understanding College Admissions" will be given at
2:45pm Sunday June 2d in Boylston.  A similar phone seminar is available at
9:15pm Sunday throughout the state on a conference call number.


The
focus of the seminar is to prepare parents for what to expect on standardized
tests in the modern College Admissions process.  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?
               
*              Where does the ACT / SAT fit into the college
admissions scheme?
               
*              Where do the SAT II tests fit in and when
should we schedule these?
               
*              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  any
more?
               
*              What's the use of the PSAT? 

                *
             How does Early Decision affect
admissions?
               
*              What else are colleges looking
for?
               
*              How do ACT / SAT scores affect financial aid offers?
                *
             How do ACT / SAT scores affect athletic
recruitment?
               
*              What are effective ways to prep for the ACT,
SAT, and SAT IIs?
               
*             
Questions and answers    
               
*              The Ivy Bound course and how to get the most
out of it.
