Live,
Interactive, Real-Time Online Instruction top
The online
classroom environment brings the best features of a physical
class into the comfort of your home. You are able to interact
live and in real-time with the instructor and fellow students
by using the two-way headset we provide, see notes and questions
on the online whiteboard, listen to the instructor’s
live lecture, and ask questions both verbally and by instant
messenger. The course is highly interactive and allows for
extensive personal attention.
All online
lessons are archived, and each student can access the archives
and review lessons as needed. This powerful feature means
students never miss a minute of instruction, even if they
are late for a class or miss an entire lesson.
The course
is available worldwide and access to the course materials
is available 24 hours a day, seven per week. Closed captioning
of the course is also available.
200
Point Score Increase Guarantee
top
We are
so certain our classes can help you that we guarantee that
your score will increase. If your pre-course practice test
results do not improve by 200 points compared to your post-course
official College Board test results, you can take the course
again for free. You simply have to take all practice tests,
attend all lessons and office hours, and complete the required
homework to qualify for the free repeat.
Incomparable
Instructors – 95th Percentile Minimum Requirement top
All of
our instructors have scored in the 95th percentile or above
on the actual SAT and are extensively trained. PowerScore
instructors are chosen not only for their high scores but
also for their ability to communicate ideas and for the enthusiasm
they bring to the classroom. Since our instructors fully understand
the nature of standardized tests, they are able to help students
understand even the most challenging SAT questions and identify
the most effective techniques for achieving high scores.
Comprehensive
Online Student Center
top
The PowerScore
Online Student Center is vital to each student’s success.
The online center allows students to practice the concepts
learned in class, and track their progress as they score practice
tests, receive personalized essay grading, and review detailed
test score reports. The score reports outline the student’s
strengths and weaknesses, helping target areas where studies
should be focused. In addition, the student center also provides
homework, supplements, and pre- and post-course work –
all designed to help maximize understanding of the ideas covered
in each lesson!
Access
to the Online Student Center lasts for two SAT administrations
after the completion of the course. The Student Center also
includes information on colleges and admissions.
Extensive
Course Materials top
Upon enrollment
each student receives his or her own lesson book that includes
the content for every lesson. Lessons are generally divided
into math, writing, and critical reasoning sections, which
adds variety to each class and keeps the students from zoning
out from studying the same subject for two and a half hours.
In addition
to our exclusive course book, all students receive a personal
copy of The Official SAT Study Guide, a comprehensive
publication produced by the makers of the test. The book gives
students the opportunity to review SAT concepts and questions,
as well as take practice tests under timed conditions. Students
also receive a free two-way headset for use during lessons
to communicate with their instructor and classmates.
