Suffolk County, NY – Junior and senior high school students in Suffolk County, NY are advised to turn to Live Study Help — an online resource available to cardholders through their public library’s digital branch at www.live-brary.com — for free tutoring assistance in preparing for the SAT exams to be given this spring on March 10, May 5 and June 2.
At Līve-brary.com under menu tab Live Study Help, real time tutors provide academic, writing, and test preparation assistance Monday through Sunday from 2 to 11 p.m., excluding some holidays. The certified tutors offer assistance in prepping for PSAT/SAT, ACT, AP and state standardized tests, as well as SAT Subject Tests covering history, science and mathematics. A 24-hour Writing Lab allows students to submit essays and other forms of writing for constructive feedback in as little as one day.
Recommendations for using Live Study Help come from students themselves. Brainfuse, the company providing the live tutoring services on behalf of the 56 public libraries of Suffolk County, recently shared an aggregate of comments posted by student users of the site: Best thing ever since the Internet! Tutor was very quick to respond, helpful, and easy to work with. It is really good to have the interactive help and not just have to type it all. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Although I was transferred to many tutors (because it was a difficult math problem), the tutors were kind enough to help me! I’M ON HONOR ROLL NOW BECAUSE OF THIS WEBSITE THANK YOU !!!! So helpful for questions I don’t get in my ACT or SAT book. Thank you so much for allowing me to do as many problems as I needed to in order to study for a test! When I logged on to this, a whole new world of learning just opened up to me and I am ready to shine my way through this year! Thank you! My grades went from 40 to 98, a 60 to a 96, and a 52 to a 98!
In 2011, the 56 libraries of Suffolk County coordinated a Homework Help Day to demonstrate to students and their parents how to access the live tutoring assistance from home or library computers. Librarians continue to be available to assist cardholders. The Suffolk Cooperative Library System has tracked usage of Live Study Help since the program was introduced in 2009. By the end of 2011, public usage of the service had doubled with 40,762 library cardholders making use of the resource.
At least half of all students applying for college admission take the SAT twice – in the spring of their junior year and in the fall of their senior year, often improving their score with the second try. The SAT Subject Tests, usually scheduled the same date as a SAT, are most often taken at the end of the junior year or beginning of the senior year. It is recommended that subject tests be taken as soon as possible after completing the course in the subject. SAT scheduling information is available through the student’s school or by logging onto sat.collegeboard.org
