Princeton Review SAT Prep Class at Hillgrove this Fall

During the SAT course, The Princeton Review administers four full-length diagnostic SATs, each with a detailed analysis pinpointing individual strengths and weaknesses. The individual attention the Princeton Review gives each student is only one reason for the success of this program. Equally important is the focus of the classes. The Princeton Review approach includes a thorough review of all math, reading and writing skills tested on the SAT - including the student-written essay. However, they go beyond that - they teach test-taking techniques that make students feel in control of, rather than controlled by, the SAT. The tuition covers all the work they do, including 24 hours of classroom instruction, four diagnostic tests, 24/7 access to online student resources, and all course materials. SAT Class Schedule and info: Deadline to enroll is 8/1/08. We will need 15 students to hold a class! Please contact Jennifer Smith to enroll in the class. jennifers@review.com or 404-233-0980. $600 per student (normal price is $1099) Tests are on Saturdays from 9am-1pm and Classes are from 3:45pm-6:45pm Tentative schedule: 8/16 - Test 8/19 - Class 8/26 - Class 9/4 - Class 9/6 - Test 9/9 - Class 9/11 - Class 9/13 - Test 9/16 - Class 9/25 - Class 9/27 - Test 9/30 - Class
