- A-List Education in the NY Times: A-List Education’s Nihal Parthasarathi recently plugged a popular A-List test prep assignment in a special NY Times feature, “Reader Idea | Developing Critical Thinking and Writing Skills for Test Prep.” We encourage students to prepare for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the SAT and ACT by reading and crafting written responses to Times editorial pieces. In Nihal’s words, knowing that they’ll need to take a side and write a response, students are trained in “active reading.” This type of critical reading ability is essential to succeeding on any section of standardized tests that involves reading comprehension.

- Scott Farber quoted in The Daily Beast: Having tutored and worked with thousands of students applying to college (counting more than a few Great Neck kids as his clients), A-List Education founder, Scott Farber, was asked by numerous media outlets to comment on the events that took place. He tells The Daily Beast,
“College admission is enormously stressful and competitive. These kids work incredibly hard: getting good grades in their classes, improving their SAT scores, and excelling in their extracurricular activities. Sometimes the pressure gets to be too much and one or two go off the deep end.” While cheating is never excusable, with the college admissions environment more competitive than ever, it’s not surprising that students are feeling the pressure. According to U.S. Census figures released by the Pew Research Center, more kids than ever want to attend America’s colleges. About 11.5 million young adults—or nearly 40 percent of the nation’s 18 to 24 year olds—were enrolled in two- or four-year colleges as of October 2008 (the latest data available). There is more competition to get top spots at selective colleges than ever before. This whole scandal brings up another fundamental issue about college entrance exams and the entire admissions process. In the words of Mr. Farber, “The real issue for standardized tests and the college application process is the fundamentally unequal access to resources. We work with schools, educational non-profits, and community-based organizations across the country in an effort to level the playing field. This country cannot succeed if we continue to relegate students to second-class status simply because they don’t have the same opportunities.” Read the whole article from The Daily Beast.
