Several aspects of this course that are intentionally designed to help you get the SAT test score you desire are discussed below.</p><p>*Grammar lessons taught in this class will mirror ten areas regularly emphasized on the SAT.</p><p>*We will be taking several SAT practice tests. These tests use the same format that you will see on the actual SAT.</p><p>*This course's vocabulary program will be helpful because vocabulary is one of the SAT's areas of emphasis.</p><p>*The SAT includes timed extended responses. Obviously the three essays we are writing will help you prepare for this part of the test.</p><p>Importantly, this class is still relevant to you even if you never plan on attending college or taking an SAT test.
