TCA Prep Moves Beyond Traditional SAT and ACT Prep

TCA Prep, e-learning pioneer and creator of the first online SAT test analysis in 1996, launches a new intensive live online small group course to high school students this summer via their laptops and iPads.

2012-07-13
ALEXANDRIA, VA, July 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) TCA Prep is bringing to high school students at the beach, on the road, and in their homes, a very unique SAT/ACT prep program that couples intensive, targeted prep sessions with the most interactive online classroom experience.

The 15-hour courses run throughout the summer and fit even the busiest of schedules. The cost is just $399 and come with a best in the business guarantee. "Given that this year's first ACT test is September 8th and the first SAT test is October 6th, students really need to take advantage of their summer and prepare for one of the most important tests they'll ever take," says Bill Zuberbuhler CEO of TCA Prep. "Our online classroom experiences provide dynamic e-learning and significantly raise SAT and ACT scores because our teachers have been trained to engage students using a method we've perfected with more than 2 million students over the past 24 years," says Zuberbuhler.

All TCA Prep courses include 6 months of access to the Online StudyGuide prep program and access to Live FinalPrep for the SAT/ACT; a 2.5 hour online group session that covers the key concepts of the SAT/ACT. FinalPrep sessions are conducted a few days before each official SAT and ACT test date.

Founded in California in 1988, TCA Prep developed the first school-based SAT test prep software program. In 1996 TCA Prep pioneered online education with the introduction of interactive online test prep for the SAT.

We are educators, consultants, tutors, trainers, and parents who are focused on helping students raise their SAT and ACT scores. As the market leader, TCA Prep has helped more than 4,000 schools across the country implement successful Test Prep teams and programs. We have already helped more than 2.0 million high school students improve their test scores.

Our record for success is underscored each year as student achievements grow and school test score averages increase. The true result is a steadily increasing number of successful, confident students gaining acceptance to the college of their choice, as well as qualifying for academic scholarships.

Stress reduction therapy prevents MS brain lesions

2012-07-12
CHICAGO --- A weekly stress management program for patients with multiple sclerosis (M.S.) prevented the development of new brain lesions, a marker of the disease's activity in the brain, according to new Northwestern Medicine research. Brain lesions in M.S. often precede flare-ups of symptoms such as loss of vision or use of limbs or pain. "This is the first time counseling or psychotherapy has been shown to affect the development of new brain lesions," said David Mohr, principal investigator of the study and professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University ...

Stress management training may help reduce disease activity in MS

2012-07-12
MINNEAPOLIS – A new study shows that taking part in a stress management program may help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) prevent new disease activity. The study is published in the July 11, 2012, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study involved 121 people with MS. Half received the stress management program, meeting with a therapist for 16 individual 50-minute sessions over five to six months. They learned about problem-solving skills, relaxation, increasing positive activities, and enhancing their social support. ...

New study suggests moderate alcohol consumption may help prevent bone loss

2012-07-12
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Drinking a moderate amount of alcohol as part of a healthy lifestyle may benefit women's bone health, lowering their risk of developing osteoporosis. A new study assessed the effects of alcohol withdrawal on bone turnover in postmenopausal women who drank one or two drinks per day several times a week. Researchers at Oregon State University measured a significant increase in blood markers of bone turnover in women after they stopped drinking for just two weeks. Bones are in a constant state of remodeling with old bone being removed and replaced. In ...

HIV drug reduces graft-vs.-host disease in bone marrow transplant patients, Penn study shows

2012-07-12
PHILADELPHIA -- An HIV drug that redirects immune cell traffic significantly reduces the incidence of a dangerous complication that often follows bone marrow transplants for blood cancer patients, according to research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that will be published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings represent a new tactic for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), which afflicts up to 70 percent of transplant patients and is a leading cause of deaths associated with the treatment. Allogeneic ...

2 proteins offer a 'clearer' way to treat Huntington's disease

2012-07-12
In a paper published in the July 11 online issue of Science Translational Medicine, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified two key regulatory proteins critical to clearing away misfolded proteins that accumulate and cause the progressive, deadly neurodegeneration of Huntington's disease (HD). The findings explain a fundamental aspect of how HD wreaks havoc within cells and provides "clear, therapeutic opportunities," said principal investigator Albert R. La Spada, MD, PhD, professor of cellular and molecular medicine, ...

Weight loss resulting from a low-fat diet may help eliminate menopausal symptoms

2012-07-12
OAKLAND, Calif. July 11, 2012 – Weight loss that occurs in conjunction with a low-fat, high fruit and vegetable diet may help to reduce or eliminate hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause, according to a Kaiser Permanente Division of Research study that appears in the current issue of Menopause. This Women's Health Initiative study of 17,473 women found that women on a diet low in fat and high in whole grains, fruit and vegetables, who had menopausal symptoms, who were not taking hormone replacement therapy, and who lost weight (10 or more pounds or 10 ...

Individual differences in altruism explained by brain region involved in empathy

2012-07-12
What can explain extreme differences in altruism among individuals, from Ebenezer Scrooge to Mother Teresa? It may all come down to variation in the size and activity of a brain region involved in appreciating others' perspectives, according to a study published by Cell Press in the July 12th issue of the journal Neuron. The findings also provide a neural explanation for why altruistic tendencies remain stable over time. "This is the first study to link both brain anatomy and brain activation to human altruism," says senior study author Ernst Fehr of the University of ...

Oral contraceptive use in girls and alcohol consumption in boys are associated with increased BP....

2012-07-12
Lifestyle behaviour in adolescents may adversely affect blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in adulthood, according to results from a large pregnancy follow-up study in Australia.(1) In particular, alcohol consumption among boys, use of the Pill among girls, and high salt intake and increasing body mass index (BMI) in both sexes were important factors linked to blood pressure levels in late adolescence. The substantial differences in blood pressure found in the study between those with a healthier or less favourable lifestyle "are likely to significantly affect their ...

Native American populations descend from 3 key migrations

2012-07-12
Scientists have found that Native American populations — from Canada to the southern tip of Chile — arose from at least three migrations, with the majority descended entirely from a single group of First American migrants that crossed over through Beringia, a land bridge between Asia and America that existed during the ice ages, more than 15,000 years ago. By studying variations in Native American DNA sequences, the international team found that while most of the Native American populations arose from the first migration, two subsequent migrations also made important genetic ...

Dark galaxies of the early Universe spotted for the first time

2012-07-12
Dark galaxies are small, gas-rich galaxies in the early Universe that are very inefficient at forming stars. They are predicted by theories of galaxy formation and are thought to be the building blocks of today's bright, star-filled galaxies. Astronomers think that they may have fed large galaxies with much of the gas that later formed into the stars that exist today. Because they are essentially devoid of stars, these dark galaxies don't emit much light, making them very hard to detect. For years astronomers have been trying to develop new techniques that could confirm ...
