Student Workshops for 11th Grade SUHSD Students:
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE SAT and ACT
To qualify for admission to a four-year college or university, students must take an SAT or ACT. It is recommended they take the test during the spring semester of 11th grade. We strongly encourage students to participate in a preparation workshop to prepare them to take these important exams.
Target Audience: Students in the Class of 2011 (juniors). Parents are welcome, but not required to attend.
Items to be Covered in either Informational Session (1/14 or 1/23): the difference between the SAT and the ACT and which will suit each student better; which colleges require the SAT Subject Tests in addition to the SAT/ACT and what subjects are offered; how the tests are structured and scored; tips and strategies for performing well; how to prepare for the ESSAY. The two Informational Sessions will be identical so you should only attend one.
Items to be Covered on Saturday, 1/30/10: ACT sample problems and preparation.
Items to be Covered on Saturday, 2/6/10: SAT sample problems and preparation.
