SAT vs. ACT: Which Test Is Better For Your Child?
It’s Back to School time! Time for new clothes, sneakers…and, for high school students and parents, time to prepare for college. Stuart Baronofsky, Director of Chyten Tutoring Services in Syosset, talks about the differences between the SAT and ACT, two important tests for college admissions. How do you know the best one for your child? Read below to find out all the facts.
The good news is that both the SAT and the ACT are now accepted by the majority of colleges in the US. That means that your child can laser in on one test, thereby streamlining preparation and maximizing potential. As a parent, you can also arm yourself with some basic information about these tests. And if some uncertainty still remains, don’t panic: Chyten-Syosset offers a combination ACT/SAT comparison test which can help your child determine which test to aim for – with actual scores to back up this important decision.
Beat The Heat and Stay In Shape at Sportime NY
It is officially a heat wave. Doing anything outside for more than a few minutes is out of the question. There is only so long you can stay in your (hopefully!) air conditioned home without going crazy. So what to do and where to go?
Try Sportime, the sports and fitness club chain with 13 locations on Long Island, Westchester, Manhattan, and the Capital Region. Here in Nassau, there are locations in Bethpage, Massapequa, Roslyn, and Syosset. Where else can you exercise and have fun in this heat in a climate-controlled area with a wide variety of activities? While many people may think solely of playing tennis at a Sportime club, that is definitely not the case. (more…)
