SANTA MONICA, California, Sept. 10, 2014—ArborBridge, the world leader in personalized online test preparation, will solidify its presence in Europe with its participation in three major events this month.

Representatives of ArborBridge will introduce its revolutionary SAT curriculum and its unique approach to test preparation at a series of fairs organized by local Fulbright commissions, along with local partners, in London, Brussels, and Amsterdam. Fulbright fairs are intended to rouse interest in American higher education, give students access to resources to guide them through the application process, and highlight colleges and universities that participate in the fairs.

Fairs include USA College Day in London, Sept. 26-27; Brussels College Night, Sept. 29; and the U.S. Undergraduate Fair in Amsterdam, Sept. 30. Each event will include seminars, presentations, and chances for students to meet representatives of dozens of U.S. colleges and universities.

“An increasing number of students from Europe find the diverse educational options in the United States to be irresistible,” said ArborBridge Director of International Development Josh Stephens, who will be attending all three events. “It’s an incredible intellectual and cultural exchange. ArborBridge is proud to support students during the application process.”

Standardized testing, which usually entails taking the SAT or ACT exams, is often one of the most confounding factors for European students who apply to university in the United States. ArborBridge specializes in guiding students to dramatically higher scores as quickly and efficiently as possible. ArborBridge’s Ivy League tutors and proprietary curriculum can reach students anywhere in the world via ArborBridge’s online tutoring platform.

ArborBridge’s mission is to help students fill in gaps in skills and knowledge and ensure that their test scores complement their academic and personal credentials. ArborBridge’s curriculum is specially tailored to support students who have not grown up in an American educational system. Students in over 40 countries have experienced ArborBridge’s unique approach to test preparation.

“The SAT and ACT are challenging mainly when they are unfamiliar,” said Dr. Megan Stubbendeck, ArborBridge’s Director of Instruction. “With personalized, intensive preparation, all students, no matter their educational or linguistic background, stand to raise their scores tremendously.”
