What is Select Choice and how does it help students with test prep?

Select Choice is a tutoring and test prep company that helps students prepare for the SAT and ACT tests. Select Choice helps students brush up on basic academic skills as well as develop comprehensive critical thinking and problem-solving strategies that are required for excellence not only on the tests, but in their academic endeavors going forward. 

How is Select Choice different from other ACT and SAT prep programs?

What sets Select Choice apart is our emphasis and expertise on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Most tutors and prep companies focus exclusively on academic skills alone. 

Does Select Choice offer ACT and SAT prep courses?

Select Choice offers individual and small group instruction for both SAT and ACT. Instruction is offered both in person and online. 

When should my child start preparing for the ACT or SAT?

The ideal time to start SAT or ACT preparations is the summer between Sophomore and Junior year. This allows students to take their first tests in the fall of Junior year. Starting early either gets this milestone of college application out of the way early if a student achieves a satisfactory score or leaves plenty of time to prepare for additional tests if necessary.

How many sessions are recommended for ACT/SAT prep with Select Choice?

For individual instruction, Select Choice offers a discounted package of 10 one-hour sessions. We find this sufficient for most students. Our small group “boot camps” run for 8 two-hour sessions (16 hours total)

Can Select Choice help improve my child’s ACT score in a short time?

Most students are surprised by how quickly their scores start to improve. Often significant results start to manifest in as little as fiver or six sessions. Of course, this is dependent mostly on a students doing some work outside the sessions, as well as their ability to change their approach to many problem types. 

How do I know if my child needs ACT or SAT tutoring?

So many questions parents have about the tests are answered the same way: take a practice test. If a student can obtain a score that meets their admissions or scholarship goals, then they should probably just practice a little and take an actual test. If they are struggling to meet their goals, then consider getting some help. 

How much does tutoring with Select Choice cost?

Select Choice has a variety of offerings to help students prepare for SAT and ACT tests for as low as $40 per month for our self-paced online option. 

Do you offer one-on-one or small group tutoring for test prep?

Select Choice offers individual and small group instruction for both SAT and ACT. Instruction is offered both in person and online. 

Can Select Choice help my child build test-taking confidence?

More importantly, students’ documented improvement gives them confidence. In addition, we provide some basic techniques to mitigate test anxiety.
