For many students headed toward their finish in high school, the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, is the most challenging academic experience they'll face. To score well, you'll need to perfect your reading, writing, and math skills. It's not just about knowing facts or having academic skills, however. The SAT requires you to be able to call on information and cognitive skills over a three-hour period; 50 minutes more if the essay portion is included. Preparing for this exam can be challenging and time-consuming. Varsity Tutors' educational directors will connect you with an SAT tutor in Tacoma, WA, after considering all of your specific goals and needs.
