  2. Essential Question: Is your school using the SAT Online Prep Course to improve student achievement?

  3. Essential Question: What are the goals of the SAT Online Course? The goals of the SAT Online Course are to increase student achievement to improve reasoning skills to improve critical reading skills to improve writing and communications skills to increase students’ familiarity with a reasoning test to increase students’ awareness of SAT as a reasoning test to improve Georgia’s SAT scores and other critical tests

  4. Why Participate? • Georgia students who registered and participated in the program scored : • 13 points higher on the critical reading section of the SAT • 19 points higher on the mathematics section of the SAT • 16 points higher on the writing section of the SAT • Would you like a 48 point gain on the SAT? • It is FREE!
