CINCINNATI, January 15, 2008—Naviance, the leader in planning and advising systems for secondary schools, and Method Test Prep, a leading provider of online test preparation courses, announced today the launch of new features to help students better prepare for standardized college admissions tests. Through a unique partnership with Method Test Prep, Naviance will offer SAT Method and ACT Method as add-ins for its WorkspaceK12 suite.
“Naviance is committed to delivering market-leading features that empower counselors to maximize the academic achievement of each student. Helping students prepare effectively for high-stakes tests is critical to ensuring educational options are available,” said Stephen Smith, CEO, Naviance. “For what some families pay to prepare one student for the SAT or ACT, a school can now help increase the SAT and ACT scores of every student.”
SAT Method and ACT Method provide every student with online resources to prepare students for the rigorous college admissions tests and offer support to help students elevate their scores. Features include audio explanations, strategy guides, full-length practice tests with hundreds of practice questions, strength tracking, and test-taking tips. By integrating Method’s test preparation tools with WorkspaceK12, counselors and teachers get easy visibility into how students are using SAT and ACT Method, areas of strength, and opportunities for improvement.
”By working with Naviance and integrating our tools with the critical data schools manage in WorkspaceK12, we can deliver unique features that will support a personalized preparation plan for each student,” according to Tom Ehlers, president of Method Test Prep. “We look forward to helping hundreds of thousands of students reach new levels of academic success.”
