Knower taught me how to organize my life through the chaos of high school – and without Jen I don’t know if I would have graduated as successfully as I did!

— William Clouse, Class of 2021

SAT & ACT Test Prep

KNOW the Test™

Summer is the best time for test prep! Starting now, when school classes are not at the forefront, allows you to focus your energy on test prep. It also builds a window to get accommodations in place for those who qualify for extended time or special testing. Knower has an excellent track record of partnering with Holderness college counselors to support you.

College Apps

Did you know, most students need 2-3 months to finalize their college applications?

Write yours this summer! Then, enjoy your fall senior semester without the pressure of college applications heavy on your shoulders. 

  • Get your common application organized and underway
  • Write a personal essay that captures your unique voice and accomplishments
  • Research your colleges! Many require their own application or “supplement” essays — a critical but often overlooked aspect of the process.

AP Foundations & AP Exam prep

Front-load your AP classes this summer.

AP is not only about advanced material. AP courses demand college-level organization, time management, and memorization skills. Summer work with Knower will help you excel in your AP classes by reviewing fundamental concepts, building critical thinking and analysis skills, and laying groundwork to master the AP exams.

  • Review outcomes from previous AP exams
  • Fill learning gaps due to COVID
  • Preview the class structure and concepts
  • Practice taking timed assessments
