In "High Cost of SAT-Prep Classes Hurt Low Income Students Aiming for College", readers understand that without a sufficient SAT preparation course or a so-called "boot camp" that institutions like Elite or Kaplan offer, students are unable to show their true abilities to their dream colleges. The state of Connecticut's 2011 Teacher of the Year, Kristen Record, says that “students take their first SAT in October of their senior year, cold, with no preparation, no guidance, no previous SAT-test taking experience.  It’s no wonder that many of them score below the state average.” Students, including all schools, are told that these exams are decidedly important towards their futures, but nothing more. This is an issue that must be solved through in-depth involvement towards successful planning before the exam.
