The SAT Preparation Program helps students prepare for the standardized college entrance examination by building skills and confidence in subject knowledge and test-taking strategies. The program consists of instruction and diagnostic exams. Classes are offered at a low-cost fee of $120 to New York City high school students. The fee covers eight instructional sessions, two professionally scored practice tests, and SAT Prep books and materials.
