The four-day course consists of 16 hours of classroom activities led by an experienced test preparation instructor. Students are provided with an in-depth review of the exam materials including real test questions, insight into strategies for succeeding on standardized tests and a comprehensive study plan. 

Classroom instruction is supplemented by student access to live online review sessions and online office hours in the weeks leading up to SAT exam dates. 

The April course will target the new version of the SAT (set to launch this March), with all practice exercises and examples taken from the new exam format.

Students generally take the SAT during their junior year of high school. This prep course is ideal for rising juniors who may be taking the test for the first time, or for those who have already taken the exam but wish to improve their score.

A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to first generation college students wishing to enroll in this program. Visit the website for more details and the application. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with preference given to submissions received at least three weeks prior to the course start date.

The SAT Prep Course is offered in partnership with Educational Testing Consultants (ETC). A leader in higher education test preparation, ETC currently provides test preparation classes at over 30 colleges, universities and schools across the country.
