We Offer Free SAT Course at PCSST
New York Academy (NYA) is offering free SAT course at the Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology (PCSST) for its students as part of the Academic & Social Enrichment Program. Classes are held every Saturday and will continue for 3 months.
This free SAT course provides students with the knowledge needed to improve scores on the SAT exam. During the course, students will understand the purpose, framework, scoring, and basic exam strategies of the SAT. Students will also review section-specific skills and learn strategies to attack question types. Practice and review are incorporated into each course session to strengthen students’ application of skills and strategies to the exam.
