The Standard Admissions Test (SAT) assesses students’ readiness for college-level coursework. A strong SAT score boosts students’ chances of being accepted into their preferred schools, earning scholarships, and landing competitive internships and jobs. Students have 2 hours and 14 minutes to complete 98 (mostly multiple-choice) questions that test about 6 years of academic content, including:

  • Analyzing data and solving problems using algebra, geometry, and trigonometry (70 minutes, 44 questions).

  • Comprehending, editing, and synthesizing ideas from short (50-150 word) excerpts from English texts (64 minutes, 54 questions).

Learning test performance is a lot like learning a to play a sport or instrument. While a few tips and tricks can help, that's neither a reliable nor optimal approach to improving test performance. Typically, students need content-based instruction (especially in English grammar and in math) in addition to techniques AND iterative practice with constant coaching/intervention to help them improve. Dawn often works with students for 6 months to a year or longer to help them improve their performance, and many students improve by a significant number of points--but, as with most learning, that result requires consistent effort over time, attention to the process of testing, and a willingness to persist through obstacles.

The SAT has changed significantly over the past year (2023 - 2024 school year), and has shifted to only offering online/digital testing. Because the testing landscape is shifting, students will need to plan extra time for test preparation, especially if they are taking the new version.
