Six reasons why every college-bound high school student can benefit from our workshops
Our
instructors are highly qualified. They are thoroughly familiar
with the SAT and experienced in teaching verbal and math skills to high
school-age students. An assistant instructor is also present at each session
to answer questions and give extra help with math problems.
Ours
is the only SAT preparation program developed by a school of education at
a major university. Our workshop is known and respected
throughout the academic community. Taming the SAT utilizes the
soundest principles of instructional design.
Our
strategies really work. Our state-of-the-art techniques
have been perfected over time, constantly refined and updated to meet students’
needs. Your son or daughter will learn sound, practical test-taking strategies
rather than the risky gimmicks promoted by other programs.
Our
results are outstanding. A study of workshop graduates shows
that those who practiced our techniques 10 hours or more raised their total
test scores an average of 186 points—as good or better than results
claimed by programs that take much longer and cost far more. Some graduates
have reported score gains as high as 400 points.
Our
workshops are motivating and supportive. Many students find
solitary study dull and get distracted easily. We provide the stimulating
environment of a classroom of your child’s peers, all preparing for
the same challenging exam. In fact, a recent survey found that students
who studied at home with books or computer programs recognized the benefit
of taking a classroom course as well.
Our
workshops are short, safe and affordable. The workshops
take just two six-hour days to complete; we don’t waste precious class
time on practice tests you can do just as easily at home (and we supply
you with two complete tests to support your at-home practice). The workshopsare held in convenient locations throughout California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest at sites carefully selected with your child’s safety in mind. And compared to the cost of competing programs, our prices are very reasonable.
