College bound students electing this course concentrate on preparation for the mathematics and verbal sections of the SAT. Instruction and practice coincide with the contents of the standardized test. The verbal section focuses on vocabulary recognition, reading comprehension, accurate grammar and usage, and effective essay composition, while the mathematics section teaches students to select tools and computational strategies to investigate mathematical ideas and to solve problems and make connections among mathematical concepts and procedures, and relate mathematical ideas to situations or phenomena drawn from other contexts. Students complete research projects and oral presentations regarding career choice, college selection, and financial aid. This course is recommended to be taken in 10th or 11th grade due to typical SAT testing timelines.
