STANDARDIZER
Your Key To Testing Success
This tool was specially designed to help students become a top 1% test taker! This language tool is a sure way to help students dramatically improve standardized test scores.
STANDARDIZER teaches you how to:
- approach any linguistic and literary question and comprehend it quickly.
- effectively use the information you see on the page.
- ‘hypothesize’ in an informed fashion.
- manage your time efficiently and learn how to answer a question in 45-60 seconds.
Entrance into a top school is difficult. It gets easier once you manage a highly competitive score on a standardized test. As a reference, we illustrate this by showing some SAT and ACT data.
- Based on recent SAT test-tasking data, a score of 1520 (out of 1600 – new SAT) puts a test taker in “Ivy League” territory and in the top 2% of all test takers. Fundamentally, 1520 on the SAT compares to a 33 on the ACT.
- Based on recent ACT test-taking data, the average composite ACT score is 21. Thus 22 and higher is above average. However, what top test takers aim for is: 33-36.
- With over 2,000,000 students taking the ACT, the average composite score was 21.0 out of 36.
- If a test taker manages to score 34 and up, they will be in the 99th percentile.
So if you score 34 or higher, you’re in the top 1% of test takers!
A successful completion of this program guarantees an improvement of 500-600 points on the SAT and 6-8 points on the ACT.
STANDARDIZER has been successfully tried and completed by hundreds of students and every test taker saw a drastic improvement and reached their respective goals.
STANDARDIZER’S success rate is 100%. The reason why we manage to have a perfect satisfaction record is because we tightly manage the students’ progress and rigorously monitor and track their progress.
