Over the last 15 years, I have tutored and coached hundreds of students to help them improve their SAT or ACT scores. In this post, I will show how strong test scores can reduce the actual cost to attend an excellent college or university.

After hours of research on college websites I am able to answer that question – please read on.

News out this week reveals that private colleges and universities are discounting tuition at a record rate.
The National Association of College and University Business Officers, in their annual study, reported that the average tuition-discount rate for the 2018-19 academic year was about 52 percent for first-time freshmen.
