C2 Edu to Host Fifth Annual SAT Challenge





2011 C2 Edu - SAT Chanllenge 



C2 Education is proud to announce its fifth annual nationwide SAT Challenge.

“This is an event that we are always very excited to be able to offer,” says David Kim, co-founder of C2 Education. “It is such a wonderful opportunity for students.”

C2 began offering the SAT Challenge in 2007. Since then, it has grown to include thousands of students across the country.

This year, the SAT Challenge will be held on April 2 at 2:30 PM.



 During the SAT Challenge, students will sit for a full-length mock SAT exam.

“We make sure to administer the tests under conditions that are as close to actual testing conditions as possible,” Mr. Kim says. “This way, students are able to get a more accurate idea of how well they would perform on a College Board SAT.” While students take the SAT, parents are invited to attend a seminar about the college admissions process. Seminar speakers include college admissions specialists and the co-founders of C2 Education. “We hope that parents will embrace the opportunity to learn more about what their children will need to get into the school of their dreams,” Mr. Kim says.



 Awards for the top performers in each national division will include cash prizes ranging from $500 to $2,500 with a Grand Prize of $4,000. The top three scoring middle school students and the top three scoring high school students within each geographic region will also receive $500 scholarships to C2 Education. “With this challenge, we hope to recognize hard working students, and we want to offer the assistance necessary to push them to higher levels of excellence,” Mr. Kim says.

 In the Seattle area, the event will take place at Shoreline Community College located at

16101 Greenwood Avenue North

in Shoreline, WA. Doors will open at 2 PM for same-day registration. Same-day registration will be $40. Those students who pre-register will save $5 off the registration fee.
