• ETM gets Significant Results.

Students raise their test scores by a 120-150 point average on the SAT and 3-5 point average on the ACT.

 

• ETM is the Only program that Prepares Students for both the ACT and SAT Exam at the Same Time.

We recognize the fact that many of the same concepts are being tested. ETM addresses the uniqueness of each test. This dual approach is extremely important because colleges today will accept either test.

• ETM has a Flexible Format

It was written with the school in mind. it may be offered once a week for three hours, or it may be offered 1 1/2 hours twice a week in a span of 9 weeks. It may be incorporated into the curriculum as a 6 or a 9 week daily course, one period a day. ETM can fit into your particular design and needs.

 

• ETM Teachers are Imparting the Same Information.

ETM's manual for the teacher is written in a
"Do - Say" format much like a script. The teacher's preparation time is kept to a minimum.

 

• ETM helps meet NCAA Requirements

ETM has an exceptional record in qualifying student athletes nationally for NCAA requirements.




 

• ETM is a 27 Hour Classroom Program With an Additional 30 Hours of Homework.

The Federal Trade Commission of Boston says coaching courses are only effective and make a significant difference if they are 20 or more hours in duration.

 

• ETM is a Totally Comprehensive Program

Each session contains 1 1/2 hours of verbal review and 1 1/2 hours of math review. Interspersed in the program are many test-taking techniques and exercises to help the students to become "test-wise." It is an academic approach to testing as well as skillful training in "techniques."

• ETM's Program is Implemented by a Teacher in a Classroom

Students need direction and respond most favorably to a teacher-related, structured course. ETM recognizes computer programs only as good supplemental material.

 

• ETM is Exclusive

The student workbooks are only available through ETM and cannot be purchased in bookstores.

"LaSalle County schools have been using the Educational Testing Methods Program for ACT preparation for the past 10 years. The prep course has definitely increased the students opportunity to raise their ACT scores."

"East Richland has used this program for at least 10 years, and we are quite pleased with our students' ACT and SAT results. The manual is well written with easy to follow lessons. The program is always updated to keep up with any ACT and SAT changes. The quality of the program and the support from Barbara Budinger is excellent."

"We have used ETM test preparation materials for the last decade. We have been very pleased with this course, particularly its dual emphasis on the ACT and SAT. Many of our students enroll in our class each year, and their responses have been very positive. I highly recommend ETM to any school interested in helping students with test preparation."

"Each summer we host a five-week course aimed at raising the ACT scores of students who have previously scored at the level of 19 or below. The ETM workbooks have proved to be very valuable in helping these students. We usually have over 100 students in our course. Since the summer of 2000, over 80% of the students using the ETM workbooks have increased their ACT scores, some as much as 6 or 7 points, others by 1 or 2 points. The ETM materials and workbooks have played a big part in our success."

-Steve Geurin
Forest Heights School,
Little Rock, Ak

"I have done a lot of test prep, but there has never been a program where it was all organized in one book. The ETM teacher's manual and student workbook interrelate and address all educational levels.
The advanced math students said the program was extremely helpful, particularly in the geometry sections. They said they had forgotten some of the geometry concepts and appreciated the review. Students who were below grade level still had a lot of information and material to work through.
The ETM program provides something for every student so they can achieve to their highest potential."
