Veritas Prep SAT 2400 Earns Praise from Parents and Top Honor from The National Parenting Center

Veritas Prep SAT 2400 prep course recognized by parents for superb functionality and effectiveness in preparing students for the exam; it is among only a handful of education products to make the grade

Malibu, CA, November 15, 2012 – Veritas Prep today announced that its SAT prep course, Veritas Prep SAT 2400, has been recognized by The National Parenting Center with its prestigious Seal of Approval. The Seal of Approval program receives between 600 and 700 applications annually, and fewer than a dozen products are selected in each category in an award cycle. The award marks another significant milestone for the SAT prep course that has quickly become the standard of the industry.

The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval program is most notable because it is based on evaluations solicited directly from parents and their children. For over 30 years, the independent testing procedure has asked parents and their children to provide reviews on products and services from educational and entertainment to travel destinations in order to advise, support and guide parents with sound, responsible counsel.

According to the National Parenting Center, “All parents want to give their children that extra edge and Veritas Prep’s SAT program does just that. Parents felt confident when they learned that Veritas Prep was the company behind the program. Parents reported a marked rise in their children’s confidence level with each practice test that they took. The online videos are clear, concise and quite easy to digest. There are many classes and tutors available to help prepare for this very important test but our testers felt that their children were in good hands with Veritas Prep.”

“We are honored that The National Parenting Center recognizes the value and quality of Veritas Prep SAT 2400 with its Seal of Approval. This award is a testament to the course’s unique and effective approach to SAT preparation,” said Chad Troutwine co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep. “With seemingly countless test preparation courses available, where can parents even begin to choose? This award is one more reason why parents can be confident they have found in Veritas Prep the most effective SAT preparation for their child.”

Veritas Prep Outlines the 5 Steps Every Parent Can Take to Help Their Student Ace the SAT

By following these five steps, parents will be able to better support their students as they prepare to take what is perhaps the most critical test of their high school career

Malibu, California, August 20, 2012 – For many parents of high school students, the SAT – a standardized exam most colleges and universities use to evaluate applicants – is somewhat of an unknown. While they understand that it is an important part of the college admissions process and that a high score can result in acceptance to the best schools and lead to scholarship awards, they may not know how they can help their students with SAT test prep so they can do their best on the exam. To assist parents, Veritas Prep, the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, has outlined five things every parent can do to help their student ace the SAT and become a more competitive college applicant.

1. Encourage Your Student to be Self-Motivated – While it’s great that you bought your son or daughter some SAT prep books or an SAT class, it may all be in vain if your child is not motivated to do well on the SAT on his/her own. Parents are only an external motivator for children; scores will start to skyrocket when students have an internal drive to do well. To help foster that drive, have your child identify three reasons why he or she wants to score well on the SAT. For example, do they want to gain admission to a competitive program? Or earn a significant scholarship? By creating a list of reasons and goals, students will be better able to self motivate and if they begin to lose focus you can remind them of what they’re working toward.

2. Simulate Real Testing Conditions – You know the cliché: practice makes perfect. But in reality, perfect practice makes perfect. And in order to practice perfectly, you should make sure your student mimics test day conditions when taking an SAT practice test at home. This means timing every section, no TV/internet/cell phone, 5-10 minute snack breaks every hour and nothing on his/her desk except a pencil, calculator and water bottle. Help your student know what to expect on test day so there are no surprises.

3. Teach Your Student New Vocabulary – The SAT is an exam that requires little memorization because it primarily tests higher order thinking skills. However, a scholarly vocabulary is one asset students must have to ace the SAT. As part of your student’s SAT practice routine, write an SAT “word of the day” on the refrigerator or in another area of the house that everyone can see each morning. To make it more fun, challenge your family members to use the SAT vocabulary word in at least one sentence throughout their day. Quiz your student regularly to make sure they retain previous days’ and weeks’ words as well. Note: make sure you use words from SAT-specific vocabulary lists rather than generic vocabulary lists.

4. Subscribe Your Child to the Official SAT Question of the Day – There is no company that produces more realistic questions than the organization that makes the SAT itself: the College Board. Everyday the College Board releases a real SAT question through its website. The Official SAT Question of the Day is not a throwaway problem, but an authentic SAT question. Your student can sign up to have the question e-mailed to his/her inbox, making sure SAT prep is a part of their daily routine. Students will have a bank of real SAT questions that they can use to improve their skills by preparing with questions exactly like the ones they’ll see on test day.

5. Ditch the High School English or Math Textbook as a Prep Tool – Traditional high school English and Math classes do not prepare your student for the SAT. The SAT is an exam that can be systematically prepared for using SAT-specific strategies. Have your child get ready for the exam using SAT preparation material, not classroom material that barely relates.

“Parents shouldn’t underestimate the importance of the SAT,” said Shaan Patel, Director of SAT Programs at Veritas Prep and one of the few test takers in the world to achieve a perfect 2400 on the SAT. “The 4-hour SAT exam is worth just as much in the college admissions process as the 4,000+ hours students spend in high school earning their GPA. By following these five steps, parents will be able to better support their students as they prepare to take what is perhaps the most critical test of their high school career.”

Patel improved his SAT score from 1760 to a perfect 2400, earned more than $237,000 in scholarships and co-authored the Veritas Prep SAT 2400 program. Recently, McGraw-Hill published his book, “SAT 2400 in Just 7 Steps.”
