KAPLAN SAT PREPARATION COURSE
For nearly 70 years, Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions has helped students get a higher score on their SAT exam and gain admission to the colleges of their choice. Reformatted for the current SATs, Kaplan SAT training combines classroom instruction, supplemental practice materials and simulated full-length practice exams. Kaplan's unique combination of the highest quality study materials, realistic testing experiences, and dynamic teachers and tutors is unrivaled. After a diagnostic practice test, Kaplan generates a personalized score report of each student’s strengths and weaknesses. This score report is then used to help create a personalized study plan for each student to maximize his/her study time. Working in small groups, Kaplan instructors teach a comprehensive understanding of the math, writing, and verbal skills tested on the SAT. The course uses a proprietary problem-solving approach, which immerses students in the content and strategies needed to score higher on the SAT. With Kaplan's SmartPoints™ system, students can make the most of their time—and scores. Administered under actual testing conditions, 3-4 full-length exams provide invaluable practice of the learned test-taking techniques as well as helping students overcome test anxiety. Class work is supplemented with homework assignments, and teachers are available for extra help on a regular basis throughout the course. A full set of Kaplan SAT preparation books, as well as 8 full-length practice tests, and flashcards for on-the-go studying is included in the course tuition. Summertime is the “hassle-free” time to prepare fully for the SAT’s. Do it this summer!
