PSAT/ SAT Preparation
Students will be provided with a test preparation course that will be personalized. Each week involves minimum of 6 hours in the class room learning appropriate reading, grammar, and math skills. Students are taught based upon exam material in an interactive group setting.
We discuss completed practice exams or ask questions in a smaller group setting. We invite guest speakers, including former students who obtained their desired scores so they may share their strategies. Students get real-world practice and simulated test days. These include full-length, in-class practice tests. Our adaptive approach gives you the most individualized experience possible in a classroom setting.
PSAT
The PSAT is a preparatory exam for the SAT that evaluates your abilities in mathematics, reading, and writing. By preparing for the PSAT, you can improve your chances of performing well on the ACT and SAT, as well as potentially qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship or other awards. Our course is designed for ninth and tenth grade students who want to do well on the PSAT and covers the essential skills of grammar, vocabulary, math, and reading comprehension.
