4-Session PSAT Prep Class (8 hours)

CollegePrepExpress‘ PSAT Prep Classes meet four times during the weeks leading up to each October’s PSAT to introduce students to the PSAT/SAT format, essential strategies, and the finite body of mathematical and grammatical material tested on the exam. We waste no time having students take practice tests during valuable class time: they do that outside of class. All our time is devoted to focused learning!

Class Structure & Outline

In the first class, we discuss what the SAT does and does not measure, the format of the exam, how best to prepare in the weeks leading up to the exam, and set and commit to our study goals in writing. Each week thereafter, we begin with a half-hour presentation of material, studying the featured topics of the week, followed by vocab, math, and writing skills building. For the remainder of each session, we go over the practice test due for homework.

The class now includes, at no extra cost, an optional full-length redesigned SAT exam with Writing. This is held at 38 Maplewood Avenue on a weekend shortly before the real exam. Great practice in a studious and professional atmosphere.

Classes meet West Hartford and online and have no more than 15 students. Each class lasts two hours and affords students the kind of close personal attention given in private tutoring sessions, with the added pedagogical benefits that only small classes can provide. To help stay focused and motivated, students receive via email during the week typed notes on the material presented in each class (also available in the private download section of this site), containing vocab, math content, grammar rules, strategies, and examples

Materials:
