Doorway to College, a mission driven national non-profit, can help reduce your child's anxiety about preparing for college entrance exams with our patented ZAPS Focused SAT Prep workshop. Our workshops are unlike others because instead of focusing on curriculum, we share the best test-taking strategies and secrets to select correct answers and tame test anxiety. Our test specialists know the ins and outs of the SAT, the kinds of challenges you'll face when taking them, and how to make the most of the test-taking time you have. Best of all, we get results. Children who take our workshop achieve an average score increase of 50-200 points after just 5 hours of class! Questions? Contact Doorway to College at (877) 927-8378.
