MBEF invites Mira Costa parents and students to join us for a Complimentary Presentation by Adam Ingersoll and The Truth about College Admission Testing in 2019.
Thursday, January 10th
7:00pm in the Mira Costa Auditorium
The evolving landscape of college admission testing has far-reaching implications, both for public schools and for individual students. Nationally recognized speaker Adam Ingersoll, co-founder and principal of Compass Education Group, will help us understand how to navigate this intimidating terrain successfully.
Topics of discussion include:
- The role and weight of test in college admission
- Why testing policies at colleges vary so widely
- The harm caused by myths about testing and admission
- Importance of choosing correctly between ACT and SAT
- The relevance of Subject Tests at highly-competitive colleges
- Developmentally appropriate timelines for testing and test prep
- Strategies for self-study
All attendees will leave with a richer understanding of the college admission process and a framework for maximizing the student’s success on standardized tests.
