Why test prep works for standardized tests
Because standardized tests follow a specific structure and assess a standard set of concepts, test preparation can help you succeed on these tests. Test prep is effective because it is an accurate representation of what is on the actual exam, because the format and content are standard year over year.
Test preparation also allows you to become familiar with the format, timing, and content before taking the actual exam.
When you know what to expect and how to pace yourself on tests like the SAT, ACT, and PSAT, you're more likely to be relaxed and comfortable, which typically leads to better scores than if you're full of anxiety and stress. http://www.petersons.com/college-search/why-test-prep-works.aspx
Fee Waivers
Fee Waiver Programs are designed for to assist students for whom payment of the test fee could be a barrier to college entrance. Only a limited number of fee waivers are available. Eligibility is determined primarily by membership in a family whose annual income falls within USDA Food and Nutrition Service Income Eligibility Guidelines for 2013-14 predetermined guidelines. See Ms. Somerville for Waiver Eligibility Form and registration instructions.

The test is made up of three multiple choice sections: listening comprehension, structure and written expression, and reading comprehension and takes approximately four (4) hours to administer. The TOEFL should be taken IN ADDITION to the SAT Reasoning Test or ACT. The registration forms and test preparation materials can be found online on the website www.ets.org/toefl .
