SAT/ACT Prep is a class offered outside of the regular school day for juniors and seniors who want extra preparation for the SAT/ACT tests. At St. Pius X our students are continually preparing for this test when they do summer reading, take four years of math, study vocabulary lists, write essays, and read good literature. In fact, the best preparation of all for the SAT/ACT is a challenging high school college prep curriculum like the one offered at St. Pius X. However, some students will benefit from some intentional tutoring and practice before taking the SAT or ACT.
The SAT/ACT Prep course offered to St. Pius X students consists of 5 hours of class for 3 Saturdays. The time will be evenly dedicated to verbal sections and the math sections. The instructors for the class are Ms. Morgan Carney (verbal) and Ms. Dena Peck (math). Instruction is given on strategies for taking the test as well as the actual content of the tests. Students take practice tests every week and have the opportunity to discuss the questions they answered incorrectly. Please register early to ensure your student’s place in the class. No make-up classes are provided, so students and parents are encouraged to check their calendars in advance of signing up for the class. The cost of the course will be charged to your FACTS account. No refunds will be given after July 23, nor will registrations be transferred.
Shortly after completing the registration, the student (and parent) will be invited to join the SAT/ACT Prep Canvas Course. No confirmation email will be sent. All information will be communicated via Canvas.
This class is for SPX students first. However, if there is space available, we do allow students from other schools to attend. Please email Ms. Peck (dpeck@spx.org) to check for availability. Non-SPX students are not eligible for the early registration price.
This class is for juniors and seniors only (no exceptions).
**If your schedule conflicts with the dates of the Fall SAT Prep class, you may want to consider the Winter SAT/ACT Prep class, which will be held on Saturday, January 11, 18, and 25, 2025. Registration will open in May for the Fall Prep class.
