SAT Prep: Low-Cost and No-Cost Options
|
SAT Prep classes can be expensive, but they can make a huge difference when it comes to your SAT score. Here are two great low-cost/no-cost options for you!
 Let's Get Ready
Let's Get Ready offers free SAT Prep courses at area schools to students who qualify for financial aid. They are currently accepting applications for their fall programs. Most classes take place in the evenings at local high schools. You do not have to attend one of these high schools in order to sign up for SAT prep classes: Brighton High, Malden High School, Boston HERC, East Boston High, Somerville High School, Framingham High School. There are also locations in Springfield and Worcester!
Prep classes start in the next couple of weeks, so apply as soon as possible to make sure you get a spot!
Revolution Prep
 Revolution Prep offers scholarships for their SAT prep products, including in-person classes as well as online/study at home courses. This is a great option for Cape Cod teens!
To apply for a scholarship--call 1-877-738-7737. They will take some information from you on the phone and ask you to write a short essay about why you deserve one of their scholarships. They will also ask for the name of someone who can verify that you are in need of a scholarship. Please give them my information--Austin Gilliland, Crossroads for Kids, 781-834-2700). Click here for more information about Revolution Prep.
Please contact me if you need help signing up for either of these options!
