  • Penn State Wilkes-Barre has been offering the SAT Preparation Course for over 20 years.  Our SAT Prep Course offers high school students an opportunity to raise their score on the SAT. The course provides information on the SAT, and instructs students in proven test-taking strategies to help them realize their full potential on the test.  Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

     

    Students will be tested on reading, writing, and math skills. The specific areas tested, according to the College Board, will be:

    • Math -- the Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data, Passport to Advance Math
    • Reading/Writing -- Command of Evidence, Relevant Words in Context, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions.

     

    If you are looking at these skills and wondering what they mean, you need to attend our course. We will demystify the test and provide you with problems that will help you prepare for the new administration.

    In addition to the standard classroom setting, we also offer Online/Self-Directed SAT Preparation.
