Anna Moss, (CSW Class of 2010) will be the speaker at the January 3, 2024, PTSO meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the library. Anna is the founder of Mind the Test LLC, a tutoring company that empowers learners by teaching test prep and academics paired with lifelong research-based study skills. The coolest fact about her is that she can read Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Mind the Test Tutoring out of Oaklyn, NJ, specializes in SAT and college prep. Her lecture topic will be “All About the New Digital SAT". This March, the SAT is switching to a new format: it's not only switching to digital, but it's also becoming adaptive, and the format and rules are changing, too. Anna has already tutored several international students for the new Digital SAT since it was rolled out a year earlier in non-US testing locations, so she has a unique insight into how to prepare for the test.
Juniors at CSW will take the Digital SAT with Essay for our School Day SAT on March 5, 2024. College Board will host the first Digital SAT on March 9; January and February will be a good time to prepare for the new SAT, or even December/winter break.
