Des Plaines SAT Tutoring FAQ
Your child may be offered the SAT during high school in 11th or 12th grade. The SAT is a standardized exam that is part of the college admissions process. The required sections of the test cover writing and language, critical reading, and math. Your child receives three hours to complete these portions. They are able to complete the essay section, which gives them an extra 50 minutes. Your child can score between 400 and 1600. The required sections are multiple-choice with four answers for each question. When it comes to preparing for the SAT, your child may feel overwhelmed. Traditional classroom-based learning rarely moves at the right pace for every student, which can cause learning gaps between students in the same class.
