  • Testing for College Admission
    Chapter Testing for College 4 Admission tandardized testing is an important factor in admission decisions, especially at most of the highly selective colleges and universities. While a few institutions have downplayed the importance of scores and some have eliminated test requirements entirely, standardized testing still matters at S some level at most colleges. We want you to understand testing requirements and, just as important, to keep them in perspective. BASIC TEST DESCRIPTIONS 1. PSAT/NMSQT – Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test This test is given in October to the entire sophomore and junior classes. This test is unique as registration is completed by BB&N’s Testing Coordinator. Scores from the junior year are used for National Merit Scholarship Qualification (NMSQT) and for student and counselor use only. These scores are not sent to colleges. 2. ACT – American College Test The ACT includes four subject areas (English, mathematics, reading, science) along with an optional writing test. Test administration takes approximately four hours, including breaks, and consists of 215 multiple-choice questions, plus the writing section. Scores are based on a 36-point scale. All four-year colleges and universities in the United States accept the ACT. In many cases, students can submit the ACT in exchange for both the SAT and the SAT Subject Tests, depending on the college’s requirements. More information can be found at: www.act.org. 3. SAT The SAT includes a combination of reading, writing and language, and mathematics tests and an optional essay component. Test administration takes approximately four hours, including breaks. The test is scored out of 1600 points with the essay component scored separately.

  • Standardized Testing
    Whitman Tip Sheet #4 Standardized Testing All students take standardized tests during high school. Some of these tests are used to determine if the student is ready to graduate, while others are used to help them select and apply to colleges. Some standardized tests are administered by the school during school hours at specific times of year; in other cases students must register, pay for, and take the test outside of school. Students and parents need to pay attention to the type and timing of various tests that are required to graduate and to apply to colleges. It is important to make a plan in consultation with your school counselor about which tests to take and when to take them. High School Assessments (HSAs) The Maryland HSAs are tests that measure school and individual student progress toward Maryland’s High School Core Learning Goals. Passing the HSAs is a state graduation requirement beginning with the graduating class of 2009. The HSAs are tests in four core subjects: English, Government, Algebra/data analysis, and Biology. Students take each test at the end of the year in which they complete the course. For example, some students may take the Algebra test in 7th grade while others may not take it until 10th grade. The tests are given in the spring and contain multiple-choice questions requiring written responses. If a student completed an HSA subject course in a school that is not a Maryland public school, the HSA requirement may be waived. These students should consult their school counselor for clarification. SAT Reasoning Test The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of a student’s thinking skills and is the most common test required for college admission.

  • English Enrichment
    ELITE PREP ENGLISH ENRICHMENT WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF ENGLISH ENRICHMENT? As students progress through high school, their math skills increase by level each year. However, their reading and writing skills often reach a plateau, particularly when it comes to evidence-based, non-fictional critical reading, which is a primary focus on many standardized exams. Additionally, students often develop an adverse attitude toward reading, which prevents them from cultivating this skill at home. HOW CAN ELITE HELP? Elite’s goal is to enhance students’ foundational reading, writing, and critical thinking skills by offering English Enrichment Seminars. Running for six weeks with a different thematic focus in each session, these seminars will utilize texts from various genres (history, science, politics, sociology) to provide more extensive training in these core areas. Students will be encouraged to read, think, and write outside of school requirements. Please note that English Enrichment Seminars are not second-language classes. For help with English grammar and basics, please see our English Grammar Workshop or our Premier Tutoring program. Seminar Session 1: Seminar Session 2: Social Science » Historical Documents » Session 1 will center on social science texts to help Session 2 will center on historical documents familiarize students with scientific inquiry, data and speeches to explore rhetoric, period-specific analysis, and journalistic writing. Specific topics may language use, issues of national identity, and society. include ecology, geography, or behavioral science.

  • A Guide to Standardized Testing-NEW-Final
    CCO-MKA A Guide to Standardized Testing Standardized testing is far and away the most complicated and misunderstood part of the college admissions process. Some students even begin SAT testing at age 12 as part of summer talent identification programs at universities like Johns Hopkins. The testing doesn’t stop until winter of the senior year. But college admissions testing, most educators agree, is necessary. No one claims that a test of four hours is as important as classroom performance day in and day out, year in and year out. No two schools, however, are alike and the United States, lone among developed countries, has no national curriculum. It is impossible for colleges to compare the value of an A in rural Idaho with its counterpart in northern New Jersey. College admissions examinations have been developed as a national yardstick to help compare the performance of two students anywhere. This is an important concept to grasp. Because more and more students are presenting more and more honors grades to colleges, standardized test scores gain in importance as the only academic common denominator. Almost all MKA students sit for College Board examinations designed by the Educational Testing Service. These tests, briefly outlined below, include the PSAT, SAT Reasoning, SAT Subject, and Advanced Placement. In recent years, the ACT examination and its preliminary test, PLAN, have increased in popularity among MKA students. Test Academic Coverage Section Time Critical Reading: passages, sentence completion 2 50 min. PSAT Math: numbers, operations, algebra, functions, geometry, measurement, 2 50 min. data analysis, probability, statistics Writing Skills: sentence errors, sentence/paragraph improvement 1 30 min.
