SAT Test Prep - The SAT is divided into several
times sections of multiple-choice Math, Critical Reading and Writing
questions. It includes a mandatory essay section, which is administered at
the beginning of the examination. ALC offers intensive SAT preparation.
Tutors provide in-depth instruction in test taking strategy and SAT
content. The unique ALC curriculum emphasizes problem-solving techniques,
time management skills, and confidence. Students take a practice test at
Advanced Learning Centers to establish baseline criteria; the practice
test is NOT a scoring device. We analyze your child's responses to
determine patters of strengths and weaknesses. From these results, we
tailor tutoring sessions to emphasize their strengths and overcome any
weaknesses.
-
ACT Test Prep - The ACT tends to be a more
curriculum based exam and is somewhat less focused on Critical Thinking
Skills. It asks students to extract information rather than apply
information. The ACT is scored out of a total of 36 points. A student's
Composite score and each Test score (English, Math, Reading, Science)
range from 1 (low) to 36 (high). The Composite score is the average of the
four Test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. Unlike the SAT, the
ACT does not deduct points for incorrect answers; therefore guessing is
always an option. The ACT Exam is formatted differently than the SAT and
includes English, Math, Reading, Science and an optional Writing Section.

Testimonials:
I would like to express how
ALC has helped my son Zeke with math. Being a parent who couldn’t help
[her] child, I talked to a friend about Zeke’s situation and they told me
about ALC. I called, and we met with a wonderful tutor named Jim Giesen.
Yes, I am pleased and ever so grateful to ALC for all they have done to
help Zeke. Advanced Learning Centers is #1 in my book! – Ms. M. Rope
My child, coming from the
Bahamas, had no knowledge of how the SAT/ACT system worked. ALC and its
great and personal staff helped my son get accepted into his dream
university, Embry-Riddle. The staff treats students like they are one of
their own. A BIG thanks to all! – William Saunders
My son, Carter Schwartz
found ALC very helpful in preparing for his SAT’s. Carter learned several
tips for enhancing his score from your professional and caring staff. We
would definitely recommend your center for any serious college bound
student. – Sylvia Watkins
We had a great experience
with ALC. Both of our children enjoyed working with the tutors and
achieved higher scores in SAT, SAT II and ACT. ALC’s staff is very
dedicated, hardworking and caring. – Sangita Desai
Sixth grade advanced math
proved to be more than a challenge for my son. Not only did his grades
greatly improve with the help of Advanced Learning Centers, my son formed
a relationship with Mr. Giesen that will forever give him confidence in
himself, and his learning ability. Many thanks. - SV
Jim worked with Jay to
prepare for both the ACT and SAT tests. Working with Jim gave Jay the
confidence and test taking skills he needed to increase his scores. I am
very pleased with the tutoring Jay received and would recommend ALC
highly. Jim also took the time to answer all my questions and guide me
through the process. – Beth Rosenbluth
My daughter had a very good
experience at ALC. She has always been a good student but performed
inconsistently on standardized tests. Almost immediately, the tutor at ALC
realized her test anxiety and worked with her in a very patient and
supportive fashion. She felt more confident taking the test and her scores
improved. ALC was a very good experience for us, and one I’d highly
recommend. – HFA
ALC was awesome. ALC teaches
confidence and prepares students to excel. Thanks to ALC our son’s test
scores improved dramatically. He has now earned Bright Scholars status
earning him acceptance into, and valuable tuition dollars for, his Florida
college choice. We highly recommend ALC. Great job! – David Bernstein
My son’s SAT scores were low
in comprehension and his Language Arts scores were consistently low. We
received tutoring with you for his reading and comprehension over the
summer. Look at his midterms now!! His grade jumped from a low of 52 last
year to an all time high of 87 this year! Please share with his tutor. We
are so pleased. Thank you so much!!
