Know What To Expect. You could go it alone, but why take the chance? Any exam is difficult if you don't know what to expect. Getting an overview of the test's format, refreshing your memory on what you've already learned, and taking a practice test will all go a long way toward getting you ready for the real thing.
Handling Anxiety. Many people become anxious when they are being tested, which can have a negative impact on their score. Recognizing the signs of anxiety and knowing specific techniques to deal with it can help you do better.
Affordable & Accessible. Exams are expensive. So why would you invest your hard-earned money and then not make every effort to be ready on exam day? If you don't get the score you were hoping for, you'll have to pay again to take the admissions exam. Once you've paid for a preparatory class with us, you can come back any time within the next 3 years and retake the class free of charge (extra material costs not included), depending upon available space. And our classes are located right on the U of U campus for your convenience.

Preparatory Courses are non-credit offerings and anyone (all students and community adults) are welcome to register.
Students may receive a full refund if the class is dropped prior to the starting date of the course. Any class dropped between the start date and the end of business on the first Friday following the beginning of class will receive a tuition-only refund. Material fees are non-refundable. (Please Note: This refund policy does not apply to the ACT or SAT Prep courses offered by Youth Education. For more information on the Youth Ed Drop Policy please call 801-581-6984.)
These refund deadlines/guidelines are strictly adhered to and can be found on the Continuing Education Drop and Refund Policy page and in student packets passed out during the first class session.
