This course is designed for students who plan to take the August 2024 SAT; however, you are welcome to register for this course even if you do not plan to take the SAT in August. 

This summer intensive crash course program will meet for 90 minutes, four days per week, for two weeks in August. The nightly homework will consist of skill-based concepts and/or practice tests. 

If this course does not fit your needs, please feel free to contact me. I will be offering more group classes during the school year that are not as intensive in addition to my adaptable 1:1 SAT classes. 

Class structure will vary depending on which practice test students complete for homework. However, here is a general idea of how a class may look.

1. Review practice questions from the previous night's homework
2. Walk through specific question-type strategies (such as how to balance a dual reading passage). 
3. Practice drill-based concepts (such as word decoding or applying punctuation rules).
4. Complete a partial practice reading and writing SAT test for homework.

Below is a general overview of some concepts we'll cover. Please note that a number of these topics will overlap from session to session as students complete practice test questions (as the reading and writing questions are mixed within both parts of the reading and writing test). Students typically complete at least part of a practice reading and writing test each week.
