USF St. Petersburg and the Academic Success Center are proud to offer an SAT Preparation Program to all Pinellas County High School Students at no charge. The preparation course is designed to help students improve SAT scores for college admission.
The SAT Preparation Program is held on Saturdays for eight consecutive weeks. Each session meets from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM and includes instruction in the three content areas of the SAT: math, writing and reading. Session dates are available below.
Reading and Writing Sections
Instructors work with students to improve reading comprehension, timed writing, grammar and sentence structure, and vocabulary. Instructors also demonstrate techniques and approaches to common SAT questions.
Math Section
Instructors assist students with the four areas of math included in the SAT: Numbers and Operations, Algebra and Functions, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics, Data and Probability. Additionally instructors focus on problem solving, testing strategies, and timed testing.
