About The SAT^® Test Tutoring At FPLA

The SAT is standardized tests used for college admission. There are two main sections the “verbal” section covers writing, language and reading; the “math” section covers multiple choice and grid-in math problems. Each section of the SAT has a range of 200-800 points, 200 points being the lowest score and 800 points being the highest score. Adding both sections together, the composite SAT score ranges 400-1600 points.

For many colleges, besides the student’s curriculum and grades the SAT test result is an important component of the application package. SAT scores are also a vital component for scholarship considerations.

Each university sets their own admissions requirements, and, are unique.Therefore, it is prudent to enquire the admission requirement with the respective university’s admission office. Common qualifications that universities look into are an adequate GPA, standardized test score, and a holistic application.

The standardized tests evaluate the student’s subject matter proficiency learnt over their K-12 education. Naturally, there is no single book one can read to ace the standardized tests. May be to put things in perspective, your child should start preparing for the SAT from the beginning of their high school year. By junior year, students should have completed algebra 2, a requirement for the SAT math portion of the test.

On the other hand, students need to learn, practice and master test taking skills. The ability to successfully arrive at the correct answer in a limited time differentiate a perfect scorer and others. At a minimum, students should begin preparing three months in advance of their test date. Our SAT test preparation programs are 10-weeks long* and encompass all the material covered on the SAT for both verbal and math sections.
