SAT Prep Matters (online)

February 13, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

| $250

Online SAT Prep Matters is a four-session SAT prep course designed for college-bound high school sophomores and juniors who plan to take the SAT.

Dates:
Mondays, Feb. 6, 13, 27, March 6
6–7:30 p.m. ET

The redesigned SAT has a total score made up of two parts — verbal skills and math. The average SAT score for students in Maine is 1031 total  (College Board report, graduating class of 2018 all Maine schools).  According to the College Board, to attain at least a C in a non-remedial college math class, a student must score 530 out of 800 on the math section of the SAT. However, only about 40 percent of high school students can do so.

Course instructor Mary Smyth, M.D., believes that students need to understand the concepts, not just cram at the last minute in order to pass a test. Smyth has tutored students for the ACTs, AP Calculus, SATs, and SAT subject tests for fifteen years. Under Smyth’s tutelage, and through their own hard work, most of Smyth’s students have improved their SAT scores by 100-200 points.
