The SAT is used by most colleges to make admission decisions and is designed to measure math, verbal, and critical thinking skills. The staff of Ivy West will present the most comprehensive preparation available. This program covers test-taking strategies to handle the essay, sentence completion, critical reading, grammar, arithmetic, algebra and geometry questions. Other topics covered include guessing strategies, process of elimination, pacing, and how to gain points by thinking like the test-makers. Participants will build confidence, reduce test anxiety, and increase their vocabulary. Materials included are the SAT Course Book, practice homework problems, priority word list, SAT word groups, practice SATs and diagnostic score reports.
