We asked SAT prep students to evaluate their experience. Here are some of their comments.

SAT Verbal I with Ms. Johnson

“Instead of simply teaching strategies, the material itself is taught and the methods for learning vocabulary are helpful. Analyzing passages in class was very useful when taking the actual SAT, and the vocabulary was easier to recall.” (no name)

“I would recommend this class because it teaches you ways to how to get around the vocabulary and reading comprehension passages. It also teaches you how to memorize. This class also gives vocabulary tests which are really good, and the homework teaches SAT secrets.” - Vikaas

“I loved how we learned so many new vocabulary words. It really broadened my vocabulary bank! When I took the SAT, I was really confident when I saw the vocabulary words, and we had learned them. It was a really interactive and fun class. I learned a lot!” (no name)

“This is such a good class. It helped me a lot in my vocabulary and I would like my friends to also get better vocabulary. I think that the environment of the class was not that good because we were frequently distracted by the music and the math classes around us.” - Harika

“Ms. Johnson is very enthusiastic about teaching. Her classes are much more lively than any other class.” - Charlene

“I improved my critical reading score a lot and improved my vocabulary. Thanks!” (no name)

"I can't wait to take the SAT again to see how much I improved in the critical reading section because I feel so much more confident than before in my worst area!" - Jill

SAT Verbal II with Mrs. Sabraw/Mrs. Richey

“It helped my grammar a lot; so in addition to helping with my SAT score, it’ll help with my grammar in English class at schoo align="left">“I would recommend this class to my friends because it helped me almost double my score on the SAT and because I became a better writer. This class also helped my grammar and my understanding of standard English.” - John

“You explained the grammar rules very clearly, and the examples you used really helped me remember them. I think this is a great class to attend if anyone is interested in improving their writing scores. I’ve been to other SAT classes, but this class helped me the most. Thank you.” - ChenChen

“This class is extremely comprehensive and well-taught. The supplemental book that we used for the grammar portion was helpful because it went into much more depth and exposed us to questions much more difficult than in the actual SAT. The many essays also helped me to speed up my thinking and writing. - Stephanie

“I think it  is really helpful in learning “real” English and recognizing the mistakes in everyday English. When I took the SAT last weekend, I realized that I identified many errors that I probably would not have recognized before. Of course, taking this course during Junior year with all the Aps and Honors classes could be really exhausting, but in the long run, I think it’s worth it.” - Howard 

“Mrs. Sabraw was extremely fun to learn with. It’s amazing how she was able to make grammar something fun to learn. She also made remembering all the rules much easier with her witty memory by associations.” S.R. - Stephanie

“I believe that Mill Creek Academy has helped me increase my test scores dramatically, and I am extremely grateful for it.” - Shamili

“Classes are helpful, and Mrs. Sabraw’s unique humor makes classes interesting. Helpful feedback and advice is given.” - Howard

SAT Math with Mrs. Lorenz

"Mrs. Lorenz’ SAT math class was great!  I learned many new SAT strategies, acquired SAT experience and increased my confidence for the SAT.  There was also a great review of past math problems.  I would recommend this class at Mill Creek Academy." – Anonymous

"The SAT math class helped my score go way up!  I also got to see where I needed improvement and to work harder.  Mrs. Lorenz was a great teacher.  Thanks Mill Creek Academy." – Anonymous

"Small groups and comfortable environment made everything casual and it was really worthwhile."  -Lahari Rao
