| ACT-American
College Test
This is a test
that should be taken by every High School student in his
or her junior/senior year (if he/she is planning to pursue
further studies in college or university). The ACT Assessment
is designed to assess high school students' general educational
development and their ability to complete college-level
work. The tests cover four skill areas: English and writing,
mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. At the Kendall
Park Learning Center our experienced and certified tutors
will prepare you for facing the challenges of ACT, will
prepare you for the test as well as will give you study
tips and teach you some test taking skills.
SAT
This is a test
that should be taken by every High School student in his
or her junior/senior year (if he/she is planning to pursue
further studies in college or university). The new
SAT is a reasoning test which assesses student’s
knowledge in mathematics and critical reading & writing.
Each class offers an extensive preparation in sentence
completion and reading comprehension, logic and rhetoric,
analysis and interpretations, semantics, etymology, word
relationships and roots, denotations, connotation, and
vocabulary. In writing students will work on usage, sentence
and paragraph correction and improvement, and the essay.
Extensive practice reinforces the skills and strategies
that are taught, and several mastery tests are included
for each part.
In mathematics the
course provides a complete developmental review of the
four categories tested in the mathematics section of the
SAT: Arithmetic-Numbers & Operations, Algebra &
Functions, Geometry & Measurement, and Number Patterns,
Probability, Statistics, & Data Analysis. Extensive
use of actual SAT questions, practice tests, and regular
drills are incorporated into lesson plans.
SAT II
This Class offer
thorough and detailed information in the subject areas
chosen by the student. We prepare student for SAT-II in
the areas of: Literature, United States History, World
History, Mathematics (Level I/II), Biology, Chemistry,
Physics, and Foreign Languages (French and Spanish).
PSAT
PSAT/NMSQT stands
for Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. This test has two purposes.
One, it is a kind of rehearsal for students who plan to
take the SAT, which is the test most colleges require
for admission. Two, it is used to select students seeking
National Merit Scholarships which are awarded spring term
of the senior year and to choose students for the National
Assistance Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students.
A further side benefit of the test is that you can have
your scores reported to colleges interested in students
scoring in your range, and you will receive a barrage
of pamphlets, catalogs, and brochures telling you about
those schools.
SSAT
The SSAT is an
admission test that measures verbal, math and reading
comprehension. By clearly demonstrating a positive correlation
between student performance on the test and academic success,
the SSAT is a valuable tool in helping students and schools
make the right match. The SSAT has become the common and
preferred admission standard for independent schools.
In Kendall Park Learning Center our certified and experienced
teacher will prepare you for the SSAT!
- Reading
Comprehension: Reading comprehension passages are
narrative or descriptive and are drawn from the fields
of humanities, social studies, and science. This section
measures the student's ability to assimilate what is
read and asks the test taker to recognize central ideas,
draw inferences, determine the meaning of vocabulary
words in context, and apply information.
- Quantitative
Skills: The Quantitative portion measures understanding
of mathematical concepts, computation, routine mathematical
manipulations and problem-solving as well as recall
of factual knowledge. The questions measure different
levels of understanding and vary in difficulty.
- Verbal
Skills: The Verbal section is composed of synonym
questions measuring verbal aptitude and analogy questions
measuring the ability to identify logical relationships
between concepts.

- Language
Arts Literacy: prewriting, drafting, editing publishing
and public speaking, recognition of text organization
(characters, setting events, recognition of cause and
effect, comparing and contrasting, forming of opinions,
drawing conclusions and many more).
- Science:
Processes of Science, Life science, Physical science,
and Earth science.
- Mathematics:
methods and strategies, problem-solving strategies,
number sense, concepts, and applications, spatial sense
and geometry, probability, statistics, discrete mathematics,
patterns, functions and algebra. Social Studies: history,
government and politics.
HSPA
We prepare students
in the areas of verbal, quantitative skills, reading,
language and mathematics. The verbal skills section includes
synonyms, antonyms, analogies, logic, and verbal classification
questions. The quantitative skills section includes series,
geometric comparisons, non-geometric comparisons, and
number manipulations. The reading section asks students
to answer questions on short passages of varying styles
on a range of topics. The mathematics section includes
mathematical concepts and problem solving drawn from arithmetic,
elementary algebra, and basic geometry. The language section
tests capitalization, punctuation, usage, spelling, and
composition.
At KPLC certified
tutors prepare students for the challenges offered to
them by HSPA. We have an excellent history of student
preparation. Come and get yourself secure score on the
