The SAT Live-Online Test Prep course is an intensive test prep program that provides students with the tools they need to prepare for the SAT. Meeting once or twice per week, the online format is a convenient way to develop essential test-taking skills. 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.

Our online support package for the live-online SAT course includes access to recordings of all class modules, an instructor-monitored question forum and online office hours. Access to the student portal that contains these online resources continues through 120 days after your last scheduled class session, so you will still have support for your independent practice after your course is over.

SAT Live-Online Test Prep 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.
