Frequently Asked Question About Preparing for College
- How do I find a college that’s right for me?
You have nearly 5,000 colleges and universities to consider in your college search. To find the college that’s the right fit for you, you’ll work with your Livius Prep college counselor to identify your interests, strengths and goals. Then, we’ll help you narrow your list to the schools that meet your academic, financial and campus culture needs, as well as the schools where you have the best chance of getting in.
- Which classes should I be taking in high school?
Your Livius Prep college counselor can help you develop a smart approach to the courses you need to take (and when) that will help you build a strong transcript to accompany your college applications. Your objective should be to provide each college with a reason to want to select you. If you find that your GPA is not high enough or want to improve your test-taking skills to give you an edge over your peers, we may recommend an individualized Livius Prep academic tutoring program to boost your skills and confidence.
- Should I take the SAT or ACT?
Both the ACT and SAT are accepted by every college in America. There is no advantage to taking one test over the other, nor is one “easier” or “harder,” but taking the test that best fits your skills and abilities will help you earn the highest scores. Your Livius Prep college counselor can help you understand the differences between the tests and identify which one will best display your strengths. Our test prep curriculum includes strategies and tips refined from decades of industry knowledge and experience that will help you raise your scores.
