test dates. The course consists of a full 3 hour and 20 minute SAT diagnostic pre-test, seven instructional classes lasting approximately two hours, four practice testing/drill sessions of approximately 2 hours 20 minutes each, and two additional full tests. Students will practice essay writing as needed during the practice sessions. Class size is limited to 10 students or fewer grouped by math scores.

How much can a student improve by taking an SAT class?

Generally speaking the easiest area to improve on is the writing, followed by the math. The reading is the most difficult area to improve because one is trying to build important skills (reading fluency and vocabulary strength) in a relatively short amount of time. Nevertheless, the conscientious student can attain significant score improvement.

Our experience has shown that most students follow through erratically with homework; consequently the only homework is vocabulary study. We quiz students weekly on vocabulary and expect them to pass with a grade of 65% or better. Because some students are willing to do outside work to raise their scores, we will provide additional, appropriate materials for these students upon request.

The cost of this comprehensive SAT course is $1,090. Additional private tutoring is $110 per full hour and $60 a half-hour. Refunds & Cancellations policy is as follows:

* You may cancel up to two week before the first class to obtain a refund, minus a $100 non-refundable fee.
* Should you cancel after having taken the diagnostic test, an additional $100 will be deducted from the refund.
* Should you cancel after having taken the 1st class, an additional $450 will be deducted from the refund.
* Should you cancel after having taken the 2nd class, there are no refunds.

We will be using the latest edition (released July 2009)of the College Board’s Official Study Guide for the New SAT in class and for practice sessions. We supply the book as part of the course. It is paramount that students bring their books with them for each session at Dalby. There will be a charge of $20 if a student forgets his book and needs to use one of ours.
