SAT Prep Reminder:

Dear Parents,

Many people don't realize that a good performance SAT is not only about saving college tuition down the road but it is also helpful in developing essential language and math skills. Studying for this test contributes to one's overall education, while learning the ropes early will help a student to understand the test better, to progress more quickly, and to score higher on the exam.

This is a rare opportunity which should not be missed. And yet some of those who need SAT preparation most urgently did not attend our first session in mathematics. Parents may feel free to contact me regarding the attendance of their son or daughter.

This Tuesday, February 2nd, we will begin preparatory sessions in Critical Reading from 3:00 - 4:00 PM. This part of the test concerns not just vocabulary but what words mean in context and how key terms are related. I encourage all who truly want to succeed to come with the College Board's Official SAT Study Guide. (If the student doesn't have the book yet, he or she can attend anyway.)

Once again, the Tuesday SAT schedule (3 - 4pm) is as follows:

January 26th
February 2nd
February 9th
(February 16th -Winter Recess, no school)
February 23rd
March 2nd
March 9th

This message will soon be posted on the Montfort College Blog, along with other previous messages which you may have missed in the past. Please refer to this link:

Reminders:

1) register by February 4th for the SAT I test date of March 13th
2) register by March 25th for the SAT II test date of May 1st
