| SAT & ACT Review Course
Descriptions The SAT and ACT are not like the traditional tests one can expect to see given in a high school or college class. And to be fully prepared, one cannot study for them in the traditional way of studying for an Algebra or English test. Our SAT and ACT review courses are designed to do more than just review question types and cover material that will be on the test. Students will also dissect questions from previously administered tests to gain a perspective from the test-maker's point of view. By doing so, they will learn the common pitfalls and traps to avoid. Students will also take two simulated tests to ensure the practice of our techniques and to prepare the students for what they can expect on test day. The classes are interactive and light and designed to make learning enjoyable. |
|||||||||
Schedule of Classes |
|||||||||
| The SAT classes will be held Monday and Wednesday and the
ACT will be held Tuesday and Thursday after normal school
hours, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for five weeks. Each SAT
and ACT class will have a total of 20 classroom hours. |
|||||||||
| Class Location: In order to make the class
as convenient for the students as possible, the intent is
to offer the classes at each participating High School. |
|||||||||
| Registration:The cost of the course will
be $199 per student. The students will purchase textbooks
separately. Once we have identified interested High Schools,
secure online registration for students will be available
through the UCF Continuing Education web site |
|||||||||
| To Schedule on-site classes: To schedule
the on-site test preparation classes at your High School please
reply to this e-mail, or call us at (407) 882-0260. We will
then arrange the classes and instructors to meet your request.
Because of the limited number of instructors available to
teach this large course offering, classes will be scheduled
on a first come, first served basis. |
