Seven-Week SAT Prep
Students are concerned about how to properly prepare for the new SAT. The new SAT is really just a blending of the old SAT I, the writing from the SAT II, with some algebra II thrown into the mix. The adage "there is nothing new under the sun" definitely applies here. Because Dalby Tutoring has been preparing students in the greater Washington, D.C. area since 1985 for the SAT, we are ready to help with this latest transformation.
We are offering students a seven-week course for the March, May, and June 2009 SAT test dates. The course consists of a full 3 hour and 20 minute SAT diagnostic pre-test, seven instructional classes lasting 2 hours, four practice testing/drill sessions of approximately 2 hours 20 minutes each, and two additional full tests. Students will practice essay writing as needed during the practice sessions. Class size is limited to 10 students or fewer grouped by math scores.
How much can a student improve by taking an SAT class?
Generally speaking the easiest area to improve on is the writing, followed by the math. The reading is the most difficult area to improve because one is trying to build important skills (reading fluency and vocabulary strength) in a relatively short amount of time. Nevertheless, the conscientious student can attain significant score improvement.
Our experience has shown that most students follow through erratically with homework; consequently the only homework is vocabulary study. We quiz students weekly on vocabulary and expect them to pass with a grade of 65% or better. Because some students are willing to do outside work to raise their scores, we will provide additional, appropriate materials for these students upon request.
The cost of the course is $1,090. (If you sign up two weeks before the first class there is an early registration discount of $100.) Additional private tutoring is $100 per full hour and $50 a half-hour. We provide free makeup classes on the Wednesday following the missed class. A refund (minus $200 for the diagnostic test) is available up to two weeks before the beginning of the course. After the first class, the refund is $550. There is no refund after the second class. We encourage only serious students to take this class.
We will be using the College Board’s The Official SAT Study Guide for the New SAT in class and for practice sessions. We supply the book as part of the course. It is paramount that students bring their books with them for each session at Dalby. There will be a charge of $20 if a student forgets his book and needs to use one of ours.
