College Planning Prep at Fairfield Library

College and test experts will be holding seminars at the library for high school students and their parents.

College search expert Mary Spiegel and test prep expert Lynn Carnegie return to the Library this fall to offer some valuable college planning advice for high school students and their parents. Mary Spiegel visits on Wednesday, September 7 to discuss the best practices for getting in to the colleges that best fit your needs. She will cover the search process and provide an overview of the steps and strategies to use to create a plan for success in the coming months and years. Then on Monday, September 12, Lynn Carnegie will review the ins and outs of standardized testing, addressing the different tests (PSAT, SAT, and ACT), which have all made important changes in 2015-2016. Both programs will meet from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the Rotary Room at the Main Library, 1080 Old Post Road. Registration is requested.

Mary Spiegel is a Certified Educational Planner with 20 years of college admissions experience, both as a director of admissions and as an independent educational consultant. Lynn Carnegie is the co-founder of Carnegie Pollak Test Prep. She has been preparing students for optimum performance on college entrance exams since 1984.
