Registration Now Open for Spring Semester SAT Prep Classes at Lemont High School

LEMONT, IL — Beginning in January, Lemont High School will offer SAT 1600, an eight-week test preparation program designed to familiarize students with the SAT. Registration has begun for SAT 1600, which is open to all Lemont High School juniors, as well as juniors from other area schools.

Students may choose between two eight-week programs, each of which consists of two-hour weekly sessions that run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Lemont High School. The first session begins on Tuesday, January 24, and will meet each Tuesday through March 14. The second session will meet on Wednesdays from January 25 through March 15. Students in both sessions will take a Practice SAT during the week of March 6.

The course costs $290 for the eight sessions, which includes the textbook and Practice SAT.

The deadline to register for one of the school’s two SAT 1600 programs is Thursday, December 22, or when all sections are filled. Students must register and pay online at www.exceledgeinc.com.

The goal of SAT 1600 is to give students the confidence, strategies and content necessary to score their personal best on the SAT. The course does this by familiarizing students with the elements of the SAT, from content and timing to pacing and strategies. The course also reviews difficult concepts, specifically in English and mathematics, and allows students an opportunity to take a practice exam. All SAT 1600 instructors are carefully trained and certified.

The Illinois State Board of Education mandates that all school districts participate in an annual statewide assessment. For many years, all juniors took the ACT. In Summer 2016, however, ISBE finalized an agreement with the College Board to make the SAT the required state assessment for all juniors beginning in Spring 2017. Lemont High School’s Class of 2018 will take the SAT on Wednesday, April 5.
