What's the best fool-proof way to increase your child's SAT score? It is simple - teach your child a foreign language. No other skill will add more points to your child's SAT score than ensuring a child takes four or more years of foreign language in school. The average SAT score of a 2005 college bound high school senior was 1028. Four or more years of the following disciplines yielded amazing results:

• english, 1062
• arts and music, 1074
• social sciences/history, 1084
• math, 1122
• natural sciences, 1128
• foreign language, 1144

Think about the potential results of your student mastering a foreign language! Not only will he or she raise their SAT score and get accepted to a better school, your child will become a global player in the job market. Or better yet, a global entrepreneur!
