Laconia Adult Education offering SAT (College Board) Preparation Class starting March 13

LACONIA — Laconia Adult Education will be offering an SAT (College Board) Preparation Class beginning on
Wednesday, March 13, for seven weeks. The SAT Preparation Classes are scheduled to end on
Wednesday, May 1, in time for the SAT Exam that is scheduled to be given on Saturday, May 4.
The SAT Preparation Classes are designed to help students score better on the mathematics, reading
comprehension and written essay sections of the SAT Exam. The SAT Exam will test subject areas that
students have learned throughout four years of high school. Emphasis will be placed on three segments:
reading, writing and arithmetic. A perfect score on the SAT Exam is 2400.
The writing section will be divided between multiple choice questions on grammar and style and an essay
students must write on an assigned topic. In the past, the SAT Exam had been strictly multiple choices.
The SAT Exam now is becoming a test of critical reading, comprehensive writing and higher mathematics
in addition to a test of learned skills that you use to reason.
Students will improve problem solving skills involving basic math, Algebra, Algebra II and Geometry. Emphasis will also be placed on helping the student score better on the written essay portion of the exam. The SAT Preparation classes will also better prepare the students for the different types of questions asked, when to guess at a question, and how to pace oneself so as to not run out of time. Test taking tips will also be given. The skills required by the new SAT are those same skills needed by all high school students today.
For more information or to enroll in the SAT Preparation Class, contact Peggy Selig, Director, Laconia Adult Education at 524-5712.
