SAT Prep – Mathematics & English

SAT Prep is designed to help prepare students for the SAT test. In addition to reviewing the basic verbal and mathematical skills assessed on the SAT test, students learn test-taking strategies specific to the exam.  Although all sections of the SAT will be covered, emphasis will be place on mathematics.  Material includes samples with explanations, grading rubrics for peer and self-assessment, practice tests with complete multiple-choice assessments, essays prompts, and study resources. Independent practice is followed by guided collaborative review. Upon successful completion, students will possess the tools necessary to complete the SAT to the best of their ability.

During the fall semester, students will strengthen their knowledge in english writing, english grammar, and algebra.  Along the way students will develop better test taking strategies and techniques.  This class will take a deep dive into all areas of the SAT test and prepare students to be successful when they sit for the test.  In the spring semester, this course will shift gears and help students prepare for CLEP exams in College Algebra and College Composition.  Students who are able to pass the CLEP exams will be able to earn college credit.
