What is the SAT/ACT Success program like?

 Preparations are held in a classroom at 45, Šumatovačka Street. If students are not able to attend classes at the designated place in the set hours, there is an option of following the programme online – via DL (Distance Learning) platform.

Over 10 weeks, students prepare in a modern environment, covering one unit necessary for the success on the tests a week, with expert guidance from teachers with international background.

The teaching is conducted in English, in order to maximally enhance the mastery of the language in which the tests will be taken. An English teacher will be there to assist anyone who might have problems with fully following lessons in English.

A great part of the preparation is dedicated to mastering the skills of problem solving, critical thinking and time management, through mentor–student interaction. The students develop their logical thinking ability in order to successfully solve problem tasks.

WEEK 3: Focus on individual problems with tasks

Focusing on the types of tasks that, depending on the individual students, require further work and the advancement of problem solving, critical thinking, time management and subject-specific competences.

WEEK 4: Detection and analysis of common errors

Bearing in mind that each week of the program includes working on concrete typical test problems, after doing these tests, the students can review all their errors with the expert teaching personnel, and the reasons for wrong answers – whether it might be the lack of knowledge, failure to understand the type of task or an unintentional error made in a hurry.

Our teachers are there to help the students and reduce the number of possible errors.

WEEK 5: Time management

After a more detailed introduction of the concept of the tests, the types of tasks and the skills expected from the students, work will be directed towards making an adequate plan for doing the test itself. In this segment, the students will work on adequate time management in order to manage to complete all the tasks, as well as check their answers.

During trial testing of each segment of the exam, the students will gain insight into their progress, and take notes, with teacher’s assistance, on the elements that need to be worked on or the skills that have been considerably improved

After the mock testing, the students and teachers will create short reminders based on the previous activities – on grammar rules, important math formulas and the skills important for success on the test.

WEEK 8: Taking a simulation test

Testing simulation – creating and taking a test in the conditions the students will face on the actual testing day.

I liked the fact that lessons are in English
