Darlington’s Summer Session provides a terrific opportunity for rising juniors and seniors to improve their SAT scores, thus enhancing their options for college.
Students have two options: a two-week course consisting of four hours daily of concentrated study and test-taking strategies, equally divided between verbal and math sections; or a four-week course consisting of two hours daily of similar rigorous work. Students who have taken such courses in the past have seen their scores increase 50-100 points, with some making even greater improvements.
Three experienced professionals will be working with the SAT program. The two-week course runs daily July 3-14, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and will be taught by math instructor Mark Gibbons and English teacher and former Berry College instructor John Cox.
The four-week course runs daily from June 19 to July 14, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., and will be taught by Learning Center Director Tom Sorci, who also serves as a consultant to Educational Testing Service (ETS), which creates the SAT.
Day students can take either the two-week or four-week SAT review for $450. Resident students can take the two-week course for $1,500. The four-week course for resident students is included in the regular four or six-week Summer Session tuition. To register, contact the admission office.
