SAT Bootcamp
Our SAT Bootcamp totals sixteen hours and is designed to help juniors taking the test for the first time to achieve their maximum potential. It’s also invaluable in helping students taking the SAT again to improve in needed areas. It begins with a diagnostic test. Our own in-house SAT expert will use the results to shape the classes according to your specific needs. This custom rather than standardized approach comes from our understanding that no two students are the same and our desire to provide academic success for every student.
The content of our SAT Bootcamp will focus on the following areas:
- Introducing the SAT Exam format
- General and targeted test-taking strategies
- Timing and pacing skills
- Techniques and analytical skills for the essay section
- Identifying and addressing students’ areas of improvement in math sections
- Applying active reading strategies required for the Reading section
- Practicing content-specific strategies for the language and writing section
Finally, we will ensure you are absolutely ready for the official sitting by administering a full practice test the week before. Then, we’ll provide you with personalized feedback and recommendations from your tutor!
