Intensive Course
(60 Hours)

Our intensive course provides thorough coverage of both substantive and strategic SAT preparation. Students are given ample opportunities to practice their new knowledge. Daily homework assignments are given, with flexible options provided to students with less free time. There are typically 5-10 students per class. Classes will focus on developing the best test-taking strategies while also reinforcing concepts in mathematics, critical reading, and writing. In addition, the course offers students frequent opportunities to practice under test conditions. Most of the Intensive courses are held during summer break.

SAT Course Material

Each student will receive a personal copy of the following books:

The Official SAT Study Guide by College Board This book includes 10 official practice tests from the College Board, the maker of the SATs. It is the only guide on the market that has real SAT questions and is, in our opinion, the best guide with which to practice and prepare for the test. Other companies claim to have their own proprietary prep material. This is purely a marketing ploy as those questions have neither been rigorously tested nor designed by the official test makers.

 

Barron's SAT Barron's guide provides a thorough, straightforward overview of the concepts tested for each of the three sections of the SAT. While we rely on practice tests from the true testmakers, we supplement those test questions with comprehensive review of tricky test material.

 

SAT Study Guide by Ivy Global Our study guide, developed by our most experienced instructors, provides valuable supplemental SAT preparation material including effective strategies and sample questions for every section of the SAT. Math and writing skills sections are thoroughly reviewed. It also provides a complete vocabulary list, including basic and challenging word lists, and the 500 Most Important Words.

In addition to the materials above, the instructors will provide customized materials for each course to provide advanced tips and strategies for each section of the SAT. Feel free to call us at 1-888-588-7955 regarding any questions about our Philadelphia SAT courses.
