New SAT prep place opens in Westchester

SAT. ACT. AP. Any one of those dreaded standardized tests is enough to trigger that familiar sense of fear into the mind of a teenager with college aspirations. Luckily, help is here for these students.

Ivy Insiders, a preparation program designed to guide high school kids through the tests they have grown to loathe, has existed on a nationwide level since 2003. That is when Nick Green, a then-Harvard University student (and now Phi Beta Kappa graduate) who received a perfect score on the SAT, decided to utilize his knowledge of the exam for the sake of its future victims. The company was born, and it has since expanded to over 200 branches throughout the United States.
 This year saw the birth of the Westchester branch; click here for the whole story.
