SAT Reading and Writing Preparation

Description:

This course is designed to inspire student confidence before they take the SAT exam. Students will practice targeted SAT skills in a supportive and self-reflective environment. In addition to reviewing foundational skills, students will learn test-taking strategies specific to the SAT exam. Strategies for reading quickly and efficiently are emphasized. The key performance indicators students will engage with are in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and Grammar. This class is taught by NSA faculty, but also extensively uses an outside online source so students can customize their practice and review, according to their individual strengths and weaknesses. Students will take 3 comprehensive practice exams. A student’s grade reflects authentic effort and completion of course materials, not accuracy of the SAT practice scores.

Student Feedback

I really liked this class! I feel much stronger in English now for the SAT. I also enjoyed how this class looked beyond the SAT into college and the future and such.

I think this class was a great preparation course. I feel much more confident about taking my SAT.

This course helped me very much. In addition to giving me good strategies for test taking, they also provided me with helpful resources that I can use outside of this course.
