STUDENT RESOURCES

When students and parents begin to explore requirements and recommendations for standardized testing, they are often overwhelmed as they attempt to navigate a confusing, acronym-filled jumble of test-specific lingo and conflicting information. This guide provides basic explanations of each standardized test and its specific purpose, design, score scale, and more.

Practice tests are an important tool for assessing your progress and shaping your study plans. Detailed instructions for self-proctoring these practice exams can be found here.

Sometimes students with learning differences may benefit from extended time or other accommodations when taking the ACT, SAT, ISEE or other standardized test. Please note that students who have 504 plans or IEPs in a school setting do not always receive accommodations for standardized tests; the application process is separate. Read here for more detailed information on how to apply for these test-specific accommodations.

Learning in my online classroom as interactive and personal as working together in person. Classroom sessions are structured exactly as they would be if they were conducted face-to-face. Students will use LearnCube virtual classroom software for sessions because it has video, audio, and whiteboard capabilities.
