SAT Test Prep at Mathnasium of Westmere

Why Our SAT Prep Program is Right for You!

The SAT is a crucial exam that colleges use to gauge a high school student's readiness for higher education. A higher SAT score can open more doors regarding school choices and scholarship opportunities. While many free resources and practice tests are available online, Mathnasium believes that merely practicing problems isn't enough. Here's why:

• Real Test Practice: The actual length and feel of the SAT can be daunting, even if students know the content.
• Test Anxiety: The unfamiliar environment of the SAT can be stressful, causing students to blank out even if they know the material.
• Unfamiliar Material: The SAT covers a lot of content from Algebra 2/Trig, which many students might be in the middle of studying during their junior year. It's essential to be exposed to the content beforehand.
• Timing: The SAT has strict time limits for each section, so practicing timing is crucial.
• Test-taking Skills: Beyond knowing the material, students must navigate a multiple-choice exam efficiently.

Mathnasium's SAT program stands out because it doesn't advocate for cramming or full-day boot camps. Instead, we offer one-on-one instruction in a small group setting, focusing on the test material and the foundational concepts. Each session begins with a 30-minute real SAT math test segment, followed by honing test-taking skills and reviewing foundational math topics. The program also assesses students on specific concepts appearing on the SAT and creates a customized learning plan for each student. The instructors at Mathnasium are highly qualified and capable of teaching the SAT.
