OUR TEST PREPARATION PROGRAMS

SAT, SSAT, and ISEE Exam Preparation

Our Centers prepare students individually for college admission (SAT) and high school entrance (SSAT, ISEE) exams. Our instructors are English and Math specialists who monitor each student's strengths and weaknesses throughout the program and adjust individual programs as he or she progresses. The program familiarizes students with the tests' format, including various question types, and teaches strategies for answering questions and building vocabulary. We teach test-taking strategies that relieve anxiety and increase confidence, and build valuable skills for a student to use long after the examination is over.

Individualized MCAS Test Preparation

We offer tutorials in MCAS test preparation. The MCAS, or Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, evaluates how well students are meeting the Massachusetts Department of Education's learning standards. CLC prepares students for the English/Language Arts and Mathematics strands of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Based on the student's school MCAS report or a CLC administered pre-test, we are able to determine the specific areas where improvement is needed. Our experienced teachers then design a program for each student to enable him or her to achieve an acceptable score on the MCAS exam. A post-test can confirm the level of improvement.
