Dallas Testmasters Student Achieves Perfect SAT Score
Long-time Test Masters Student Maximized Time and Potential to Take Educational Advantage by Patiently Focusing on Proven Strategies
HOUSTON, TX, June 15, 2008 - Dallas Area Testmasters student Geoffrey Dawson placed himself in a distinguished category by locking in a perfect SAT score. Dawson, a Testmasters student since a time prior to his high school years, became one of less than 1% of students that take the SAT to accomplish such a feat.
"It's possible to make a 2400 without Testmasters , but it's like climbing Mount Everest without crampons or ice picks," said Dawson when asked about the assistance of Testmasters classes. "Testmasters brings the elusive 2400 within closer reach of its students."
Dawson also had positive comments about his instructors. "The teachers I had at Testmasters were enthusiastic about their jobs, and they did a pretty good job of taking the bite out of the SAT. The teachers were friendly and accessible, and if I needed more individual attention, they were glad to give it."
Advice for Others
When asked if he had any advice for other students that are planning to take the SAT, Dawson suggested that his peers maintain focus. "If you have a hard critical reading passage near the beginning of the test, don't sweat it and throw away your concentration for the rest of the SAT. Getting rattled by a few difficult questions is a surefire way to guarantee a lower score. Maintained concentration and nerves of steel will go a long, long way on the SAT."
Looking Toward the Future
Dawson currently attends the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science at the University of North Texas Campus in Denton, Texas. Prior to his time at his school in Denton, Dawson attended Stephen F. Austin High School in Fort Bend ISD. His top school choices include MIT and Stanford, and he plans to double major in mechanical engineering and art so he can design and engineer cars. For his successful efforts on the SAT, Test Masters will award him with a $1000 scholarship.

I saw an improvement in my ability to answer LSAT questions immediately. From the first day of class I began to understand how to use, apply, and amplify settings.
