The SAT is a good predictor of how well students entering college will do their first year?

It’s true.  That’s why colleges want to enroll students with high scores. Every college invests time, money and effort to enroll new students.  Between the first and second years of college one in four students will not return (double that figure for community colleges), so colleges want to admit students who, they are reasonably sure, will return for their second year. Colleges want their students to be successful and graduate from their school.  Conversely, students need to feel prepared for college so they do well their freshman year.  The SAT zeroes in on the critical thinking and academic skills that students should have mastered for college-level work.

Tutoring to strengthen areas of weakness can make all the difference in their performance on the SAT.  The ultimate goal of admission to a good college cannot be reached with poor test scores. The higher their test scores, the more options your students will have.
