Last week we participated in the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC) Conference in Baltimore, MD.  NACAC brought together over 5,000 counselors and educators working on the successful transition of students from high school to college.

David Talking to Counselors

The feedback on Grockit‘s SAT and ACT test prep games from counselors was overwhelmingly positive.  In addition, while talking with counselors we discussed some of the issues facing students today.  Many students simply can not afford expensive test prep services or private tutoring.  The counselors were excited to learn about Grockit’s current free offering of SAT and ACT test prep.  The counselors also shared with us the lack of interest by many students in traditional test prep offerings such as studying out of a book or in the classroom.  They indicated the collaborative games approach Grockit offers would be more appealing to those students.

In sum, it was a great conference and we are happy to have attended.  We should give recognition to the people of Baltimore for their hospitality.  The locals were friendly and generous hosts.  We now look forward to NACAC in St. Louis next year.
