SAT Summer Institute

The SAT Summer Institute is an intensive test prep program that provides students with the tools they need to prepare for and succeed on the SAT®.  Students often have fewer obligations during the summer, making it the perfect time to develop essential test-taking tools.  Students receive in-depth review of the test materials, insight into strategies for succeeding on standardized tests, a comprehensive study plan, and extended online support.

Our virtual classroom provides you with the opportunity to interact in real time with our expert instructors and to re-watch the recordings of your class sessions at your convenience until the end of the calendar year.

System Requirements:

The Live-Online SAT Summer Institute is offered online using Adobe Connect, a free application. All you need to participate in live-online classes are a high-speed internet connection and speakers or headphones.

Both the in-person and live-online SAT Summer Institutes include online tools to help you maintain your skills until test day!

Weekly online office hours provide a convenient way for you to get individualized help with specific questions or concerns that you may have. Online office hours are free-form meetings open to all participants from the SAT Summer Institutes. Instructors will be available to answer any questions that you might have. The sessions are “drop-in” and are student-directed, so there will not be a planned presentation for each session. Instead, our instructors will answer questions and work through problems in the order that they are received.

In addition, you will have access to an online instructor-monitored question forum and to recordings of an expert instructor explaining and reviewing all the class modules. Access to the online resources will continue until the end of the calendar year, so you will have extended support as you complete your preparation independently.

Live-online Office Hours System Requirements:  The live-online SAT office hours use a free Adobe Connect application.  The only requirements to participate are high speed internet access and speakers or headphones.
