Summer Learning Loss is Real: Summer Camps at Think! are the Solution

According to the New Jersey State Department of Education, summer learning loss is real.  “Research reported by John Hopkins National Center for Summer Learning states that: It is important for students to keep their skills up to avoid loss of confidence and self-esteem when school starts in September. Many students feel overwhelmed by the work load after three months of summer vacation.” Ms. Kim at Think Tutoring sees this every September. “I have students that just come for tutoring during the school year, take a 3-month break for summer, and come back to tutoring in September…I sometimes feel like I am going back to square one.”

Think Tutoring believes that practicing math, reading, and writing skills over the summer is the way to go.  Think Tutoring offers a variety of summer camps, workshops, STEM, programs, and assessment days.  We also have individualized and customized tutoring programs.

New Summer SAT Test Date Announced by College Board

Times are changing! College Board has announced that there will be a summer SAT test date for 2017.  Students will have an extra testing opportunity on August 26^th.  This leads to many questions, such as opening schools early, air conditioning, cleaning classrooms, etc.   However, this bodes well for many juniors and seniors. 

Here is a list of the three main advantages for high school students.

1.   Early Decision/Early Action: The August SAT allows seniors one more test date that can be applied to early decision and early action applications. Yay! According to the Atlantic, “Students will now have two shots at the SAT in their senior year before early-application deadlines, and College Board will no longer have to deal with the annual headaches caused by the January exam.”

2.   Free of School Demands: I hear it every day at Think Tutoring. “Ms. Kim, my schedule is too overwhelming…I’m so tired.” My students tell me all of the demands of their junior year.  Demands include PARCC, SAT, ACT, midterms, final exams, SAT Subject tests, clubs, sports, a job, and more.  The August SAT test date provides students an opportunity to take the exam in a less pressure pact season.

3.   More Test Prep Time: The August 26^th SAT allows for students more time to prep at a tutoring center or home.  This gives students the opportunity to show their full potential rather than cramming for the June test.  More prep time equals better scores.  Enough said.

Summer is a great time to prep for SAT.  Think Tutoring offers both morning and afternoon hours for individualized tutoring.   We are also offering introduction SAT strategy classes for students that just need a little prep before the test.  Lastly, Think Tutoring is even offering Free SAT practice tests in April and July.  Call 973-593-0050 or email Think Tutoring at info@thinktutoring.com to register.
