Retaking the SAT or ACT
June 14, 2011 By
Many incoming Seniors find themselves in the situation where they have already prepared for and taken the SAT and/or ACT, but they would like to take it a final time in the Fall of their Senior year in order to raise their score just a little bit more. There is always the choice of individual tutoring to help bring about this final push, but that can be cost prohibitive for many students. Therefore CCPrep has created a course specifically designed for the student looking for additional guided practice for a retesting of the SAT or ACT. Please read more here.

New Year! New Location! New Services!
We are happy to announce that after the holidays, we will be moving to a new suite, but it’s not too far. It’s just 3 doors to the right, Suite 109. So just turn that 6 upside-down and everything is good.
As part of our move we are happy to announce that we will be offering more services to our students – many of which we’ve heard numerous requests for. We are happy to now offer:
- Affordable on-site tutoring for high school courses
- Writing Specialist
- Specialized follow-up course for those retaking an SAT or ACT
- Reading Strategies course
- Expanded college planning services
We are also planning a Grand Reopening on January 2nd with free food, free seminars and much more.
Comprehensive College Prep (CCPrep) is offering free workshops to high school students and parents to celebrate their Grand Re-opening on Sunday January 2nd from 10:00am-2:00pm. Topics include; Tips for Student Athletes and California Colleges Update. In response to high demand from students and the increased need for high quality low cost educational services CCPrep is moving to a new larger facility and expanding their services in order to better serve the community. Class size increases, high counselor/advisor case loads and the current competitive college environment are all reasons families are seeking professional individualized assistance. CC Prep has worked with over 500 Orange County high school students. They now offer; Test Prep for the SAT, Subject tests, ACT, and AP, College Planning, and tutoring all in one student friendly convenient location. To sign up for a workshop or for more information please contact tutors@ccprep.org or go to www.mycollegeplan.net. Drop-ins are welcome.
Do You Need Test Prep?
May 25, 2010 By
No, test prep is not required. In fact it shouldn’t even be needed.
The SAT and ACT are designed to test the level of a high school student’s readiness to perform in a college classroom; they’re not designed to see who has the money to spend on expensive test prep courses. Then why do so many students attend test prep classes? And why do these test prep classes claim success in raising scores?
The answer can be found at the gym. No one needs a personal trainer – we know how to exercise and lose weight. Run here, do push up there, it’s natural. But why are there so many personal trainers? 2 reasons: (1) to show you the best way to do it and (2) to make sure you do it. The same reasons applies to SAT/ACT test prep.
Does anyone have a child just begging for their parents to purchase them the SAT practice book so that he or she can sit down on weekends and read it cover to cover? I didn’t think so. That’s why you need test prep. To make sure your student practices the tests – and practices them the “right” way – in order to maximize his or her score. I cannot tell you how many students I’ve come across who do not score up to their intellectual and academic level on their first practice test simply because they don’t like tests. Test prep helps students get past that mental block and achieve the score they deserve. [Read more...]
Welcome to Our New Website!
May 24, 2010 By
We’re not new, but our website is!
When we started CCPrep just 2 years ago, we didn’t think our young company would grow so large so quickly. Thanks to the wonderful referrals from all of my great students and parents, we’ve been able to offer SAT, ACT and AP Test preparation to over 300 students this school year alone! Not bad, after teaching only 4 students my first summer! (Thank you, my pioneers – David, Beau, Brooke and Katie.)
As we move into another school year, we are proud to finally offer a website platform that will provide the capabilities and functions to help Orange County students and their parents find the information they need to navigate the gruesome college admission process. Please make sure to check back often, as I will be continuously adding information about new testing requirements, and offering step-by-step advice on the college admission process. I’ll even try to convince Shan and Jayne at Higher Applications to contribute right here in our blog some of their valuable insight into the college search and admission process (for those who you don’t know, Higher Applications works out of our CCPrep classrooms, and are wonderful people to work with).
Our new format will allow us to provide:
- Continuously updated information about test requirements and college admissions
- Daily updates on available classes at CCPrep, including the number of available seats in each class
- A more user friendly atmosphere and contact form
So, please look around and let us know what you think. Our website redesign has been long overdue! With the help of one of our student’s parents, Mark Roknich, and his company, Location Marketing, Inc., we’ve been able to put together a new site that will grow to fit the needs of our students and parents, and will allow us to adapt to the ever-changing college admissions requirements. Their website design services are second to none – Mark and his team have worked tirelessly to guarantee that our new site would not only attractive but functional.
