SAT Prep Classes

SAT Prep Course 2026-2027

The SAT is a mandatory exam for 20% of all colleges and is optional for the remainder; however, if a student’s scores are in the middle to upper college’s range of scores, it is beneficial to report them. The SAT Prep Course offered through Community Programs examines strategies for taking the test as well as the material covered in the exam. Additionally, math skills as well as reading comprehension and writing skills are covered.

There will be four separate sections offered for the October, December, March and May exams. The first session will involve six days of three-hour sessions on August 3,4,5,6,7, and 10th, while the three six-week sessions will involve twelve, one hour and forty-five minute classes per week.

These are all are taught by Diane Bassett and Mary Gregoire, previous Math and English Department Chairpersons. Each class will consist of either a session of English or Math. Teachers will be available after each class to address individual student questions and concerns.

The course will include sessions with direct teacher instruction and will focus on the test format, commonly-encountered question constructions, helpful test-taking strategies and subject-specific knowledge. Students will be expected to take practice SAT tests on their own, and some instruction will focus on the problems that students encounter with the exam. The four different sessions will be offered to accommodate student schedules. The courses are open to all students entering their 10th, 11th, or 12th grade years.

The book for the course is The Official Digital SAT Study Guide Second Edition. It is a blue book that specifically states that it is the College Board book with the SAT label on the top left. This book contains all of the updated information for the test as well as practice sections for each session and six actual SAT exams as well as information on how to score them. You can purchase the book in the following locations:

  • College Board website (sometimes bundled with other SAT prep materials)
