SAT Exam Cram

March 14, 2016 | welz

Join some area high school seniors as they provide practice SAT exams for juniors in high school in preparation for the forthcoming school-administered exam. They will also work to cover and teach test tips for the critical reading, writing, and mathematics sections. 

Since both of the instructors have a lot of experience with standardized testing and have done well (both earned perfect scores on the ACT), they want to help teach students who do not have the opportunity to pay for tutors or prep classes. This program is recommended for 11th graders, although 10th graders may also attend. Registration is required for the entire series.  The program will take place from 4:30-6:00 PM on the following dates:
