Course Description:
The PSAT Course is a four session class designed to teach students the content, strategy, and time management of the PSAT. The classes will cover all three sections of the test: Critical Reading, Writing, and Math. Students will have the opportunity to take timed tests. Real College Board PSAT booklets from previous years will be used for practice tests. The goal of this course is for students to be successful on the PSAT and to get a head start on the SAT, which they will take later in the year.
More information on the PSAT test can be found via The College Board's website at:
http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/psat/about.html
Course Locations:
| Greenwich | Brunswick School Greenwich Country Day School |
| New Canaan | New Canaan High School |
| Rye | School of the Holy Child |
| Wesport | Greens Farms Academy |
Further Information:
- Class fill quickly and frequently go to a wait list. We recommend that you return the registration sheet as soon as possible.
- Our PSAT courses cover all sections of the test: Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing. The students are divided into two ability groups; one group has math while the other group has verbal. After an hour and a half, the groups switch.
- Please check your school schedule, sports schedules, and extracurricular activities when choosing a session.
- We offer private tutoring year round for all standardized tests and most high school subjects.
- In the Fall, we will send out a schedule for the March and May SAT tests and February and April ACT.
- During the SAT course, extra help sessions/practice tests will be scheduled at no additional cost.
