SAT Reading and Writing Preparation

(Previously known as SAT Verbal-Writing Preparation)

Description:

In addition to reviewing the basic skills needed, students will learn test-taking strategies specific to the SAT exam. Strategies for reading quickly and efficiently are emphasized, and exercises are provided to build vocabulary, an important asset for the SAT. Students receive instruction and practice on planning and executing essays within the short time allotted on the test. A comprehensive grammar review is included, and strategies for answering grammar questions are also included. 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. Practice tests will be utilized.

Student Feedback

It was a good course.

The practice tests really helped me to improve.

Corban

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.
