Students generally take the SAT during their junior year of high school. Our SAT test prep course is ideal for rising juniors that may be taking the test for the first time, for high school students who have already taken the exam and wish to improve their score, and for younger students who are curious about the latest format of the SAT.

Format

We offer the SAT test preparation courses in two formats: Online Live and In person. Online Live classes offer the same great program as the traditional prep class with the added flexibility of attending class from anywhere or at any time. Our virtual classroom provides students with the opportunity to interact in real-time with our expert instructors with the added benefit of watching recordings of class sessions at the students’ convenience for up to 120 days after the course end date.

Live-Online Office Hours

Weekly live-online office hours provide a convenient way for students to get individualized help with specific questions or concerns. The live-online office hours are free-form meetings open to all participants. The sessions are drop-in and student-directed, so there will not be a planned presentation for each session. Instead, instructors will answer questions and work through problems in the order that they are received.

System Requirements

SAT Live-Online Prep Courses are offered using Adobe Connect.
