Information About College and Test Prep Opportunities

For years now, I have worked with 5 Points Test Prep and have found them to offer high quality Test Prep and College Application Help.  You may find their services necessary.  Here is a message from them:

Dear Mike,
Hope you are doing well, and seniors are excited about college choices!  We have had some interest from Social Circle students this year -- thank you!   I just wanted to let you know about our summer program and spring info sessions for all students. I am interested in hearing from you how we can make this more accessible for your students.  

I am attaching a list of classes for pre-K - college (it is also on our website).  For juniors, we have test prep, application management, college essay guidance, resume writing, and scholarship research.  We work one on one, in paired teams or as a small group seminar (5 students). 

We have one scholarship available for test prep which can be applied for by having the student write a letter outlining need and intent for college study.  Also, we would need a recommendation from you -- should be based on financial need, motivation and proven academic progress.

For students taking the June tests, we have a 3 week cram session beginning May 22nd.  Parents/students can email me to register.

Lastly, we are hosting a series of free info sessions late Spring.   The first one coming up is Tuesday, April 18 at 12:30pm or at 5:30pm at our Bottleworks office.  We will be discussing how to decide on which test, SAT and/or ACT as well as approaches to prep that may work best based for specific needs as well as curricular program, and timing. 

On May 3 (12:30 pm or 5:30pm), we are excited to offer a session on identifying scholarships and as well as accessing important financial aid information for 2017-2018.  

Lastly, we have an interactive presentation on academic majors and career choices which will be held on June 5 at 12:30 pm or 5:30pm.  

 We look forward to working with Social Circle students and you as their advisor! 

PS  Just an additional note -- if graduating seniors want to take the May 6 SAT in order to improve scores for additional college monies, we are here to help them and are open seven days a week, 9am-9pm.

My best,
Lisa
