Description

As of March 2007, all colleges recognize the ACT as a nationally administered and accepted standardized test for college admission. The ACT has been around for over 65 years and the SAT for over 70 years. The ACT was predominantly a Midwest test based in Iowa City, Iowa. The SAT, produced by ETS in Princeton, New Jersey, flourished on the east and west coast and spread inland, while the ACT has spread to the coasts through the years. There is a perception among students and parents that the SAT is the preferred test by colleges. This is not true.

Having worked in the field of college admissions counseling for over 30 years I have read more that my share of books on the field of college admissions. Ken Krueger’s new book ranks as one of the very best on the subject. It is thorough and detailed while concurrently being easy reading. His step-by-step approach to college placement is second to none. He literally walks the family though this anxiety producing process right up to college matriculation. If a family wants to purchase one book on college admissions this is the one!
