What’s included

1 live meeting
55 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1 hour per week. Non-mandatory practice materials including interactive games, puzzles, practice quizzes, worksheets, and additional SAT practice questions. These supplementary materials reinforce class concepts and provide additional SAT practice opportunities. While not required, regular completion of these assignments strongly correlates with score improvement.
Assessment
Regular mandatory quizzes covering SAT content and testing comprehension. These assessments help track progress and identify areas needing additional focus. If the majority of students do not complete a mandatory quiz (without prior communication about heavy school workload or other valid circumstances), the entire class will complete the quiz during class time, followed by additional assignments until all students finish. Parents will be notified regarding quiz completion and areas of concern.
