Congratulations to our early admissions students!  Good luck at Harvard, Duke, Columbia, Wesleyan, UVM, University of Edinburgh, Reed, Georgia Tech, Carleton, and Hamilton (with a POSSE scholarship).
The Veritas SAT Boot Camp is an intensive SAT prep course for students who want a comprehensive review of the SAT, but who don't have the time to engage in targeted, one-on-one tutoring.  Boot Camp includes two days of instruction, an in-class practice test, two take-home tests, a killer vocabulary list, analysis of your test performance before and after the course, and a copy of the CollegeBoard's Official SAT Study Guide.

Three of Veritas' stellar SAT tutors will teach SAT strategies ranging from broad approaches to all types of questions, to how to recognize hints embedded in questions, to pacing and timing techniques.

  • The Critical Reading strategy sessions will focus on fool-proof methods for doing well on Sentence Completions as well as strategies for Reading Comprehension, including techniques for navigating the passage, conquering specific question types, and parsing the answer choices.
  • The Writing strategy session will emphasize a standard approach to the essay and include a comprehensive grammar review to get you through the Writing Multiple Choice sections of the test.
  • The Math strategy session will cover basic math strategy and include a content review of difficult, but pervasive, math topics.

Boot Camp is designed to jump-start the review process for students taking the SAT on March 10th, 2012.
