The SAT Summer Institute classes offer the same curriculum, materials and online resources as our SAT Blitz classes, but they are scheduled during the summer when many students have more time available for practice. The intensive test prep program provides students with the tools they need to prepare for the SAT. Meeting four times per week for one week, participants develop essential test-taking skills in an in-person format on the University of Delaware’s campus. Students are provided with an in-depth review of the exam materials, real test questions, insight into strategies for succeeding on standardized tests and a comprehensive study plan.
SAT Summer Institute is applicable to rising juniors who are taking the test for the first time, seniors and other high school students who have already taken the exam but wish to improve their scores, and younger students who are curious about or want early preparation for the SAT.
