Test Preparation

Whatever their future, tests are data, and schools looking to select their next class want data (whether it’s used to inform that selection is not for us to say). Ah, but there’s the wrinkle. For a test to inform about a large population, it has to be standardized in some fashion to serve as the meter stick for that audience. With enough practice of the right quality, the content and construction can be broken down and used to best the test. Parlance Educators brings the experience that comes with working with hundreds of students for thousands of hours, studying an array of standardized tests and following their evolution. From private high school admissions through college admissions to graduate admissions, Parlance is prepared and eager to help you surmount the following alphabet soup of tests:

• SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, and the TJ Test for private high school admissions

• ACT, PSAT, SAT, and AP exams for college admissions

• MCAT, DAT, PCAT, GRE, and GRE Subject Tests for graduate school admissions

One-on-one test preparation tutoring with Parlance Educators doesn’t just help satisfy a system built on tests. Our collaborative work hones valuable skills like verifying information being presented, citing evidence, and understanding why information is being presented in a particular way and how that can guide our response. Strategies can transcend the tests that helped you practice them. There aren’t widely available semester or year-long courses on how to dissect assessments and analyze their intent and metrics, yet such assessments seem to be around every bend on our academic trail. Parlance is here to help.
