Summer Prep Work

English: Logo of NPR News.
This summer, it will be tempting to late school work slide into oblivion. While I can't say that I'm hard at reading and working for school all the livelong day, I will say that exercising your "little gray cells" can help keep up good thinking habits. Practicing good critical thinking skills can go a long way toward keeping you ready for the next big SAT event coming up in October. Here are a few suggestions - read something more complicated than the funny pages or the sports section. Simply keeping up with world events via a weekly news magazine is more useful than letting your brain get washed away by celebrity gossip and sports team signings. Additionally, try listening to several minutes of the local NPR news to catch a slightly more elevated discussion of events, often with a more complex vocabulary. These are just a couple of suggestions that have helped me to keep mentally sharper over the summer months. Happy thinking!

Online Video Tutoring

A New Tutoring Option!

3J Test Prep is breaking new ground with students in the Atlanta area. For the last several weeks, we have been working remotely with students in the Atlanta Metro area, rather than convening for in-person tutoring.

Due to the difficulty of making everyone's schedules work together so that we could meet for in-person tutoring, we have developed the ability for students to receive high-quality tutoring directly in their own homes. We highly recommend Google's Hangout service, which is available to anyone with a Gmail account. Students and tutors have been able to register for Google Plus, which then makes available "Hangout". (For more information on Hangout, Click Here.)


When students and tutors are hanging out, they are able to see and hear one another, as well as exchange onscreen information in the form of Microsoft Office Suite materials. Some students have reported being unable to view onscreen sharing, and so they have received digital copies of the materials via emails. In this way, everyone can literally be on the same page without even being in the same room.
