College Prep Check: Do You Need More Math Help?
College prep can be a drag if it means rolling out of bed Saturday morning to make it to your SAT class on time. But what if college prep was more than getting up early on the weekend?
Believe it or not, it can be. That’s what we really care about at Alleyoop – finding a painless way to help you get ready not just for college, but for all that other stuff out there later. Considering that students who do well in math are more likely to survive high school (and college and beyond), we offer a ton of help in high school’s most notorious tough subject.
Just last week our very own president, Patrick Supanc, wrote about this very topic in the NBC News blog Education Nation. It was kind of written for parents (boring!) but he mentioned just a few facts that might make any student flip out about the future.

Fact 1: The Odds
I don’t know how much you’ve studied percentages, but the fact that only 18% of high school freshman graduate college within 6 years is pretty terrifying…that’s not even on time!

Fact 2: The Goal
Yeah, bet you thought you would be fine in college if you made straight A’s and “pwned” the SAT. Guess again! Your college-ready-meter does not rely on grades and test scores alone. |

Fact 3: The Skills
A lot of the stuff you’re not tested on (like social skills) can end up being way more important in life after high school than you think. As you’ve probably learned by now, school hasn’t really caught up with the times. |

That’s why we offer something outside of school – an interactive website personalized just for you. Start with math help, and we’ll help you fill in the college prep gaps along the way.
