The college admissions process is a complex one, with admissions counselors considering many factors as they evaluate individual applicants and how they will contribute to the freshman class they are building. One important factor in that evaluation, though certainly not the only one, is a student’s scores on college admissions exams—the ACT ® or SAT ® . Duke TIP talent search participants have already had the opportunity to take one of these tests, and many of them have already earned scores that would position them well for admission to competitive universities. However, many high-school students and their families are interested in test preparation courses that can help those students maximize their scores.

Duke TIP talent search participants in grades 10–12 now have access to discounts on Princeton Review’s online and face-to-face SAT ® and ACT ® Test Preparation courses as a benefit of their participation in Duke TIP.
