Laguna test firm hits small screen
-- Suzie Harrison
A Laguna Beach tutoring and test preparation firm hit the small screen
Thursday morning.
Cambridge Academic Services was featured on CBS’s Early Show during an
educational segment regarding Standard Aptitude Test test preparation.
CBS focused on the local Cambridge Colloquium’s ongoing SAT
preparatory classes, which offers early training beginning in the seventh
grade.
It is the only program of its kind and has produced significant
results, including two perfect 1,600 SAT scores.
Laguna Beach High School graduate Miles Jacob scored perfectly on the
test after being a member of the program’s pilot class of 1992.
Peter Bui was the colloquium’s most recent graduate with a perfect
score last May.
A number of other students have had composite SAT scores in the 1,400
to 1,500 range.
Cambridge, now in its 10th year of operation, provides math
instruction in arithmetic, algebra and geometry; verbal and language arts
teaching with critical reading, analogies and sentence completions,
vocabulary development and exposure to standardized test taking.
Cambridge also was included in PBS Television’s Frontline documentary
“Secrets of SAT.”
High school juniors will take the SAT nationally on May 4 and June 1.
