Lincoln-Sudbury Adult & Community Education

The SAT asks students to use analytical skills they have been developing throughout high school to tackle sections that are becoming increasingly academic (and less tricky). In this 5-week course, students will learn and practice strategies to conquer the reading and language sections of the test. The final week will be a practice test. As students become more comfortable with each section of the SAT format, their confidence will increase and so will their scores!
