Improve your test taking skills and master the SAT! Using The Official Guide to the New SAT as our text, students learn a plethora of strategic methods for engaging the SAT, as well as specific material for each of the subjects covered: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, sentence construction, paragraph structure, identifying grammar errors, critical reading, sentence completion, and the 25-minute essay. Focus is also on developing higher level thinking skills, such as critical reasoning and analysis, as they are necessary to succeed both on the SAT and in all other academic endeavors. The first day of class and other practice test taking classes will meet for four hours.*
