Essential Question:
Is your school using the SAT Online
Prep Course to improve student
achievement?
Essential Question:
What are the goals of the SAT Online Course?
The goals of the SAT Online Course are
–to increase student achievement
–to improve reasoning skills
–to improve critical reading skills
–to improve writing and communications skills
–to increase students’ familiarity with a reasoning test
–to increase students’ awareness of SAT as a reasoning test
–to improve Georgia’s SAT scores and other critical tests
Why Participate?
