SATs Preparation
SAT Test Preparation Program
The Standard Assessment Test (SAT) is a test created by the College Board that most colleges and universities use to evaluate incoming students. Schools use the test to evaluate college readiness in applicants, alongside their high school GPA, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular activities.
One-to-One Test Preparation
The test is typically offered October through January, and in March, May, June, and August each year. It is comprised of a combined reading/writing section and a math section, each scored out of 800 points. The revised essay section is graded separately. The test format emphasizes context of vocabulary, scientific reasoning, and your ability to form logical arguments in the reading section. The test evaluates the logic of your ideas and punctuation skills on the writing section, while data analysis and real world problem solving are crucial in the math section.

SAT Changes
In 2016, the SAT made a shift to a new two-part format with optional essay. The change came from the College Board's desire to make the test more fair and transparent, moving away from singular test-taking skills and instead giving students a chance to demonstrate higher-level logical reasoning and analytical skills. The test is more focused on students' understanding of concepts in context (evidence-based questions) and follows a simplified format, with fewer questions relying on testing "tricks".
The SAT Online
The SAT has already been available online to some students. Currently, the rollout of the digital version numbers in the thousands: Approximately 5,000 students took the SAT online during the 2016-17 school year (about 1.8 million seniors took the test at least once in 2017).
How Does the Online SAT Work?
Aside from how students take the test, the online and paper-based SAT are the same. The three test sections -- reading (52 questions), writing and language (35 questions), and math (58 questions) -- as well as the time allotted for each remain identical. Also, like the paper version, the online version allows pencil use and scratch paper. Three slight differences between the two: The digital SAT allows students to highlight passages, a virtual countdown clock keeps students aware of time, and test-takers can bookmark items to return to later.
2 Major Sections
The SAT has two major sections: the evidence-based reading and writing section and the math section. The reading and writing portion of the test contains a 65-minute reading section that tests evidence-based logic and a 35-minute writing and language section that covers contextual word knowledge. The math section includes a 25-minute no-calculator section focusing on problem solving and data analysis and a 55-minute section where you will need a calculator for the problems.
The writing section is comprised of 44 multiple choice questions that should be completed in 35 minutes. The writing section tests grammatical knowledge and allows students to think like editors by fixing mistakes in sentences and identifying grammatical errors.We provide qualified teachers to help your child prepare for the tests.
