Kaplan's New and Improved SAT Classroom Course
Our classroom experience has been redesigned to be even more engaging for students in order to promote better learning, increased retention and most importantly, higher SAT scores.
Our SAT Preparation course is 10 sessions long; six sessions are 3-hour classroom sessions and 4 are full-length practice test sessions.
The classroom sessions will focus on either Math or Verbal and will each cover 3 topics. A class session will consist of:
- Warm-up Activity
- Topic One (50 minutes)
- Topic Two (50 minutes)
- Topic Three (50 minutes)
- Wrap-up
For each of the three topics covered, students will experience three segments: Direct Instruction, Guided Group Work and Independent Practice:
Direct Instruction: The teacher will present information to students and use Socratic questioning techniques to activate students' prior knowledge of the topic. The teacher will introduce and review relevant vocabulary and use Kaplan's methods and strategies to solve test-like problems.
Guided Group Work: course books include leveled problems for each topic. After Direct Instruction, the teacher will group students and assign them appropriately leveled problems. Students will work on the exercises collaboratively, while the teacher circulates and facilitates group work.
Independent Practice: During this segment of the class, the teacher engages students in practice activities which are designed to be quick, game-like and fun. The activities are a way for students to reinforce and test their understanding of the topics and strategies that they have just learned and practiced.
