SAT Prep Classes
THERE WILL BE FOUR SEPARATE SECTIONS OFFERED FOR THE OCTOBER, DECEMBER, MARCH AND MAY EXAMS.
THESE SIX-WEEK SESSIONS WITH TWO ONE AND A HALF HOUR CLASSES PER WEEK. EACH CLASS WILL CONSIST OF EITHER A SESSION OF ENGLISH OR MATH. CLASSES WILL ALTERNATE DAYS AND WILL INVOLVE HELP WITH STRATEGIES TO EMPLOY WHILE TAKING THE TEST AS WELL AS SUBJECT-SPECIFICKNOWLEDGE. 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.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE SAT IS CHANGING ITS FORMAT BEGINNING IN MARCH OF 2024. AT THAT TIME, THE EXAM WILL BE TAKEN ON-LINE, AND THERE WILL BE CHANGES IN BOTH SECTIONS OF THE TEST. STUDENTS TAKING THE TEST BEFORE THE MARCH EXAM WILL EXPERIENCE THE TRADITIONAL PENCIL - ANSWER SHEET EXAM. FURTHER, THE NEW SAT IS SHORTER THAN THE PREVIOUS VERSION (2 HOURS AS OPPOSED TO 3 HOURS) AND THE FORMAT IS SOMEWHAT CHANGED FOR BOTH SUBJECT AREAS. GIVEN THE TRANSITION FROM ONE FORM OF THE SAT TO THE OTHER, STUDENTS TAKING SESSIONS I AND II WILL BE GIVEN INFORMATION ON HOW TO TAKE BOTH TYPES OF EXAMS, WHILE SESSIONS III AND IV WILL FOCUS ON THE NEW ADMINISTRATION OF THE SAT.
PLEASE NOTE THAT REGISTRATION FOR THIS CLASS DOES NOT REGISTER YOU FOR THE SAT EXAM, RATHER YOU ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR THE EXAM SEPARATELY. PLEASE CONTACT NORTH ANDOVER HIGH SCHOOL FOR ASSISTANCE.
