SAT

multiple choice and writing exam. Areas of verbal acuity included in the SAT I
Verbal are sentence completion, critical reading, Standard English grammar, and
a 25 minute essay. Part 1 of the course will provide expert instruction in
vocabulary development, sentence completion, and critical reading. It is the
opinion of the MCA Director, Mrs. Cheri Sabraw, that this part of the SAT I
Verbal (Part 1) is the more difficult of the two parts. The instructor will
lecture on these topics and discuss test-taking strategies. Students will
memorize SAT vocabulary and practice the above named skills. Students will take
5 practice tests and learn MCA strategies for achieving the type of score needed
for admission into the university level.
SAT I Verbal Preparation Part 2 (Grammar /
Writing)
This course
is designed to prepare students to take the SAT I Verbal test, a comprehensive
multiple choice and writing exam. Areas of verbal acuity included in the SAT I
Verbal are sentence completion, critical reading, Standard English grammar, and
a 25 minute essay. Part 2 of the course will provide expert instruction in
Standard English grammar and the writing of a 25-minute essay. Included in the
grammar review will be subject/verb agreement, pronoun case and reference,
pronoun/antecedent agreement, diction, parallelism, modification, coordination,
subordination, illogical comparisons, verb forms and tense, punctuation and
double negatives. The instructors will lecture in grammar and writing
instruction. The students will write at least 15-20 essays, which will be scored
by the teacher. Both teachers have been successfully guiding students to very
high scores. Many of our students have scored perfect 800’s in this section and
we expect that the SAT I Verbal scores will be enhanced by the addition of
grammar/writing to the total SAT I score.
