SAT/ACT Prep is back at Options Solutions

By Elyse Economides on

SAT/ACT prep is geared towards the May and June exam dates. The prep at Options Solutions is focused on two areas:　test taking skills and curriculum development.　The first area focuses on understanding the SAT/ACT exam in order to gain tools and strategies to “beat” it.　This arena also focuses on developing test taking strategies and critical thinking skills.　The second focus is on learning the content that is assessed on each SAT/ACT exam; such as math concepts, grammar rules, and vocabulary.　Research proves that long term, consistent prep is the most valuable.　Right now, it seems like May is very far away, but it will be here before we know it.

We have made several modifications to our program this year based on feedback from previous prep students. There are four main options for SAT/ACT prep at Options Solutions:

 

  1. Full Length Practice Exams and Debriefs – This option includes a 4 hour exam (SAT or ACT), exam marking and a 2.5 hour debrief. In order to get the best estimate, we use only officially released SAT and ACT exams.
  2. Group Sessions – Group sessions are geared prep sessions to conquer the elements of the exam: test taking strategies, reading, math, writing, essays, and science (for ACT). Weekly prep is a graduated program to introduce, practice and master each area of the SAT and ACT. Students can attend each session or pick and chose what they need.
  3. Super Saturdays – These are 3-hour power sessions. They are meant to provide students an in-depth focus in a single area. These are especially beneficial to students who have a weakness in one area or trying to make ground in a single session.
  4. Individual Sessions – It is also possible to book one-on-one prep time with Melinda. There is limited availability for one-on-one sessions, so if you are interested please contact us immediately.

Right now, all sessions will occur in the West Vancouver office. If we have the demand for it, Vancouver sessions will be added. See our online calendar for dates and times. Join us for our first full length SAT exam on Saturday, January 30th from 3:00 – 7:00pm.
