SAT Preparation
Developed by the College Board, the SAT measures academic achievement and critical thinking. Comprised of three tests—Reading, Writing and Language, Math—the SAT embodies three hours of actual testing (the optional essay requires an additional fifty minutes). The SAT is accepted by all US colleges and universities; Public schools in Connecticut require all juniors to sit for the standardized exam.
