The competition  to get into college is fierce.

Students need every edge they can get.

Even a slight improvement in a standardized test can be critical.

Success in college depends heavily on a student's ability to write.

Students who are already strong writers by the time they graduate from high school will have a competitive advantage over other students.

Standardized test preparation courses focus only on test strategies and not on writing ability.

These strategies are designed to raise scores but are not applicable to the fundamental ability to write.

Parents are running out of time, and they're worried.

Their children will be leaving home for college very soon.

There is not enough time or money to fill in all the gaps in their children's education before they leave.
