Unique Agreement with Kaplan - College Test Prep Leader

February 3, 2010 is the deadline for Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO) students to submit applications to take advantage of a unique agreement the CNO's Scholarship Advisement Program (SAP) has made with Kaplan, the national leader for test preparation services. For selected CNO students SAP will the pay the fee to take Kaplan's online college test preparation course for either the ACT or the SAT college admission test. Kaplan's SAT and ACT online test preparation products are normally priced at $99.00.

Students who are high school freshman through seniors and enrolled in the CNO's Scholarship Advisement Program (SAP) are eligible for SAP's free offer to take either of Kaplan's online e-programs Students must submit SAP's application for Kaplan online test preparation before February 3, 2010. Enrollment in SAP is free to Choctaw students and can be completed online at SAP's Web site www.choctawnation-sap.com. SAP's simplified Kaplan application can be downloaded here.

"The evidence is clear that practice and preparation nearly always improve college entrance test scores," says Gregory E. Pyle, Chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. "Our agreement with Kaplan will help CNO college-bound students increase their ACT or SAT test scores." Raising a test score by 10 percent or more can be a life-changing event resulting in significantly better opportunity for both financial aid and college acceptance. College entrance tests like the ACT and SAT can be taken as often as a student wishes with only the highest score being counted. Students who take tests multiple times almost always show improvement. But students who also take test preparation courses score even higher according to Kaplan.

The Kaplan ACT/SAT online course allows students to study wherever and whenever they want, get online email help, use interactive online lessons and stay focused with a custom lesson plan based on diagnostic performance.

Kaplan's online course structure includes a diagnostic exam to gauge strengths and weaknesses, targeted preparation with a customized plan, more than 30 interactive lessons, full-length practice tests and a lesson book.

"The Scholarship Advisement Program is offering the Kaplan program in order to boost scores for our students," says Program Director, Jo McDaniel. "We want to give our college-bound scholars the best chance for opportunities and scholarships from the best possible schools. For most students, few things are important than boosting an ACT or SAT test score," she says. Students are urged to apply early and to email SAP for more information at scholarshipadvisement@choctawnation.com.
