SAT REFRESHER COURSE
For the student who needs that little warm up before
the test, this course allows students to choose what
they need to focus on most, and to work with a small
number of other students to hone their skills for the
test. Highly recommended for those students who
have taken an SAT prep class in the past and want
that little extra help to improve their scores. Course
includes two class sessions, one full practice exam,
course materials, and a complete home study plan for
the week of the test.
The following Refresher classes are in preparation
for the October 5, 2013 SAT:

PSAT CRASH COURSE
Ideal for the first time test-taker looking for an edge,
this course offers an introduction to the PSAT (the
PSAT exam is scheduled for October 19). Students
come away with an understanding of the different
kinds of questions, strategies on how to answer them,
test materials to practice for the week before the test,
and the confidence that they will know exactly what to
expect when walking into the exam. Great for those
students who expect to compete for the National Merit
Scholarships. Includes course materials and complete
home study plan for the week of the test.

FREE PRACTICE SAT TEST
For the fourth year, Needham Community Education and
the NHS Guidance Department will once again team up to
provide a service to juniors – a FREE full-length practice
SAT exam. Students can gain a familiarity with the exam
and get a sense of their strengths and weaknesses as
they begin to prep for the real test. Students will leave
the practice test with their scores for the critical reading,
math, and multiple-choice writing portions of the exam,
as well as a copy of the test for review purposes. There
is no charge for this practice exam, but registration is
required. Use the registration form at the back of the
catalog to register for the free SAT practice test and note
the class code below. Please note on the registration form
any special considerations we should be aware of for this
practice exam, including behavioral, learning, or physical.
The Free Practice SAT Test is also listed in the SAT Prep
Class schedule posted to the district website, under
Community Ed and High School.

My son took an SAT Prep
class with one of the large
companies, then took the NCE
SAT Prep course – and thought
the Community Ed one was
much better!
