SAT Test
The College Board has changed the format of the PSAT. The test is now identified as the Digitized PSAT; current sophomores/rising juniors will take the test online rather than via paper and pencil. From 2024 onwards, the SAT will also follow this new digitized format.
1. DIGITAL SAT TEST
The new Digital SAT will include two modules:
(1) READING & WRITING: Each module contains 27 questions (a total of 54 questions). Time allotted: 32 minutes per module.
(2) MATH: Each module contains 22 questions (a total of 44 questions). Time allotted: 35 minutes per module.
The total test time is 2 hours and 14 minutes.
Purpose of SAT test:
To provide colleges with an estimate of each student's potential for success in college. The SAT test measures critical thinking/reading/writing/mathematical skills and evaluates how students analyze and solve problems.
When do you take it?
The SAT Test dates are January, March, May, June, October, November, and December each year. Students must register through the College Board to take the test at nearby approved test centers. Each test date has a specific registration deadline.
Our SAT Test prep Tutorials
Students enroll in our SAT TEST PREP course in January of their junior year. Classes begin the last weekend of January and continue for 12/13 weeks, meeting once a week, usually over the weekend, for three hours – 1 ½ hours of Math and 1 ½ hours of Reading & Writing. The SAT class size is limited, and students are organized into classes according to their skill level, determined by PSAT test scores and GPA. Our January SAT classes prepare students to take the SAT Tests in March and May of their junior year.
New students not enrolling during our January session can take advantage of our SAT summer classes. Sessions begin mid-July, continue for 12/13 weeks, meet once a week over the weekend for three hours, and prepare students to take their SAT in October of the senior year.
To prepare students for the Reading & Writing portion of the SAT, students are taught specific strategies. Students are provided specific instructions on reading, highlighting, analyzing, and comprehending the material. This is important since students need to find evidence to answer the questions logically; some passages will also ask students to analyze data represented graphically in tables, graphs, and charts. Since students are tested in vocabulary-in-context questions, students learn vocabulary through proven methods other than the mere memorization of words. Students are also provided a thorough overview of grammar/sentence structure and writing skills to prepare them for the "writing" portion of the test.
