The Office of Conferences and Institutes is offering an SAT preparation class in April. The SAT test measures verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities. SAT test scores are often a determining factor in college admissions. This class provides an opportunity for high school students to sharpen critical reading skills, review math skills, and learn problem solving strategies. Feedback will also be given on writing samples. Understanding how a test is structured is a critical step to test-taking success. This class, paired with independent study, has proven to increase SAT test scores.

The class will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9 p.m. on April 8, 10, 15 and 17, and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 12 and 19. The class fee of $165 includes an SAT study guide. The deadline to register is April 1 and enrollment is limited. Register at www.camps.appstate.edu. Choose the “youth camps” link. For additional information, call 2530.
