The Princeton Review Issues SAT Parent Challenge

If you took the SAT today, would you get into your alma mater? The Princeton Review posed that question to parents of college-bound students with the help of Stanton Public Relations & Marketing. The SAT Parent Challenge was devised as a tool to engage parents and raise awareness about the importance of SAT preparation in today's competitive college admissions process.

Today's SAT is much harder than the exam of years past. Many schools have increased their average score requirements for first-year students. The national average for the new SAT is 1500, and scores below an 1100 are considered low at almost all four year colleges.

The SAT Parent Challenge is a 12-question online quiz parents can take to test their academic aptitude on some of the most difficult questions that their kids face on the actual SAT. Thousands of parents took the online quiz in its first month.
