| SAINT THOMAS
REVIEW: QUESTION & ANSWER |
| What is the S.A.T.? |
| The Scholastic Assessment Test is a
universal yardstick by which colleges and universities
measure applicants' mathematical and verbal skills.The
test can be taken several times in preparation for
college applicaflon. |
| What is the P.S.A.T.? |
| The Preliminary Scholastic Assessment
Test is a shorter version of the S.A.T. and is
administered during the junior year of high school. IT IS GIVEN ONCE ONLY AND IS the
DETERMINING TEST FOR NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS. National Merit Scholarships, in turn, are often
the sole criteria on which full academic scholarships are
awarded. |
| Do good students need to
prepare for these tests? |
| A student may be attending a fine
school and making excellent grades. This is no guarantee,
however, that he will do well on the P.S.A.T. or S.A.T.
He may have the academic tools he needs in order
to do well, but he may not know how to use them. |
| How can the Saint Thomas
Review help? |
| The Saint Thomas Review will help your
student to do well on the P.S.A.T. or S.A.T. In 1998 our
students' scores increased an average of 228 points out
of a total of I6oo points on the S.A.T. Some students
have increased their scores by as much as 68o points. |
- The purpose of the SaintThomas
Review is to instill in students a confident
readiness for testing. For the P.S.A.T., the
one-time only test which determines National
Merit Scholars, this confidence is crucial.

students score better on the S.A.T,so that they
may have more options in selecting a school.

students' skills for taking any examination.
To
prepare for the PSAT, a student should complete the
Saint Thomas Review course the summer before eleventh
grade. The course maybe repeated in subsequent
summers to improve scores on the S.A.T.
Why is the Saint Thomas
Review superior to other review courses?
- The SaintThomas Review employs
only the most accomplished instructors in the
nation.

student is distracted from learning.
- Students are motivated to learn
because classes are interesting.
Will students who take the course
receive academic scholarships?
The Saint Thomas Review cannot
guarantee that a student who takes the course will
receive scholarships as a result. We can guarantee,
however, that if a student is willing to work
his scores will increase significantly.
|
| FACT:
Students who prepare for the P.S.A.T. and S.A.T. do
better than those who do not. |
