40
Total Course Hours—for Ultimate SAT Preparation
- There
are a total of 12 meetings in the PowerScore SAT Course:
8 lessons and 4 full-length proctored practice SATs. That
adds up to 24 hours of in-class lecture time, plus 16 hours
for the practice tests, to equal a course that is 40 hours
long. The extensive schedule allows us to cover not only
the fundamentals of the SAT, but also the strategies and
shortcuts for handling those challenging problems that mean
the difference between a good score and a great score.
-
The
practice tests are administered in sessions that are three
and a half hours in length, and the lessons and test reviews
are three hours long. Three hours sounds like a long time,
but we spice up class with games and giveaways, and other
fun activities. The time will fly by because we work hard
to make sure you enjoy learning the tricks to beat the SAT.
300 Point Score increase Guarantee—we know you’ll
improve

instructor was very good and allowed me the confidence
to become a 1600 test taker. I'd recommend this class
to any other student looking to improve his or her
test scores, regardless of level." Nick

(based on 1600 scale) |
We are
so certain our classes can help you that we guarantee your
score will increase! If your official College Board test
results do not improve by at least 300 points, you have
six months to take the course again for free! You simply
have to take all practice tests, attend the entire course,
and complete the required homework.
Excellent Instructors—95th Percentile Minimum Requirement
- All
of our instructors have taken a real, Educational Testing
Services-administered SAT and scored in the 95th percentile.
That means they scored higher than 95% of the people who
have taken the test! Because they really understand the
test, they’re able to help you with just that: understanding
the SAT questions by decoding the minds of the test makers.
- Just
like you, our instructors understand the difference between
mind-numbing, tedious teachers and those educators that
are fun and entertaining—you know, the ones that make
class much more interesting. They are committed to help
you learn the strategies and ultimately have fun with the
SAT!
- Your
instructor is also dedicated to helping you reach your SAT
potential and is always available for help outside of class,
whether on the Hotline or in a personal meeting.
The
best course material:
- The
core of our course is the lessons. At the beginning of each
class you receive a lesson booklet, which is yours to keep.
Each lesson is generally divided into Math, Writing, or
Critical Reading sections, to add a little variety to class
and keep students from zoning out from studying the same
subject for three hours.
- In
addition to our exclusive course materials, all students
receive a personal copy of “The Official SAT Study
Guide: For the New SAT™” This comprehensive
publication is produced by the makers of the test and is
yours to keep. The book gives you the opportunity to review
basic SAT concepts and questions, as well as take 8 practice
tests under timed conditions.
- After
each class we hope that you will find time to do the homework
(yes, homework!). If you are serious about college, you
have to be just as serious about the SAT, and a key component
of a large score increase is practicing the techniques you
learn in class. Each lesson’s homework includes a
short section of drills, questions, and discussions that
address the topics in the lesson, followed by complete answer
keys with detailed explanations.
- Each
lesson is accompanied by a “perfect 2400” supplement
that includes advanced tips and discussions for students
shooting for that elusive perfect SAT score.
- In
Total, each student receives access to over 1,400 pages
of material.
Real
Practice SATs—4 Real, Proctored Exams
- If
you take our Full-length Course, you will know exactly what
to expect on the New SAT. The practice tests and much of
the homework we use are from real SATs. That way, when you
take the real SAT, you will already be comfortable with
the test format and structure.
- There
are four total practice tests administered by a PowerScore
proctor; one on the first day of class, another mid-course,
and two more at the end of the course.
The
SAT Hotline—Maximum Support and Convenience
- If
you have a homework question that you need more help with,
we have a toll-free SAT Hotline that is open Monday through
Friday from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM in your time zone. The Hotline
is staffed by our regular teachers and they are ready to
answer any SAT question from the homework, practice tests,
or lessons that may be causing you difficulty. You can also
use the Hotline to ask general questions regarding colleges
and the admissions process. And since you never have to
leave the comfort of your home to use the Hotline, you have
access to top-notch support with maximum convenience and
safety.
Extensive Online Student Center
- •
On the first day of class, you are given access to our Online
SAT Student Center, where you can review math and verbal
strategies, practice additional drills, download SATs, and
gather information on colleges and admissions. You can begin
mastering the SAT before even stepping foot in a classroom!
Your access to the Online Student Resources area lasts until
you are satisfied with your SAT score.
