SAT Prep Course

In preparation for the SAT test dates available, next spring for juniors, Lake Park High School will offer a course beginning in January 2023 to develop study skills to improve SAT scores. In addition to English, reading, and mathematics preparation, the course emphasizes test-taking strategies and techniques. Students will gain insights into SAT testing situations, practice, and remediation, and explanations to SAT questions and answer choices.The Illinois State Board of Education is committed to assessing students through the SAT. More importantly for our students, the SAT is universally accepted as a college entrance exam for universities nationwide. Lake Park's SAT prep course is designed to help students improve the skills needed to raise their SAT scores.Although the College Board provides preparatory materials online, this course is beneficial to students because it provides an authentic and interactive learning experience with detailed class instruction, textbooks, and supplemental materials, and an intensive review session prior to the administration of the SAT at Lake Park on April 12, 2023.Taught by certified instructors, the course fee is $200 and is offered on either weekdays (Tues/Wed/Thur) after school or Saturday mornings. The registration deadline is Friday, December 9.View the course brochure for additional details and complete an application.
