Brattleboro Orthodontic Specialists (BOS) funds the Free SAT Prep program as a service to their patients and the community. "There are many ways to be successful in life," asserts Dr. Charles Post of Brattleboro Orthodontics. "But I have found that over a lifetime, a good education can have a tremendous impact." Recognizing the importance of the SAT exam in the college entry process, Dr. Post has been supportive of helping students achieve their best scores. "The students that have taken this course have told me that they enter the test with more confidence, and, in many cases, achieved scores much higher than on SATs they had previously taken," explains Dr. Post.

The program is not designed to teach math and English per se, but rather to help students test well. Inflated scores are not the goal but accurate scores achieved with confidence are emphasized. Any student planning to take the SAT is eligible for the course, although priority is given to high school juniors during the registration process.

Instructors are Mr. Bob Ross, an excellent English teacher at Brattleboro Union High School, and Mr. Rob Tiebout, a highly regarded math teacher at Keene High School. Mr. Ross has been presenting the program for several years; the 2005 program incorporated the major changes in the English testing format.

Students and/or parents are strongly encouraged to sign up as soon as registration opens in early January since the class has filled to capacity in recent years. An email address is required at the time of registration because this year for the first time, students must print out and bring their email confirmation to the first class as a ticket for admittance.

The timing of the program prepares students to take the SAT test on Saturday, May 1. (Deadline for registration for this test date is March 25.) Information on testing dates and locations is available at www.collegeboard.com.

Which of the following can help students on their way to a promising future? a) an excellent education and good grades; b) respectable SAT scores; c) a great smile and a firm handshake; or d) all of the above. In the view of Brattleboro Orthodontic Specialists, the answer is d) all of the above.
