Why Prepare


The competition to gain entry to American colleges and universities on both the undergraduate and graduate levels is tougher than ever before. Given the current economic climate, not only elite private schools but also public ones are becoming more selective with each new group of applicants. Therefore, a student must be committed to putting together the best possible application “package”. Certainly some of the most important parts of a student’s package are his or her standardized test scores.
