Prepare for the SAT with the Princeton Review at Walton

 

During the SAT course, The Princeton Review administers three, full-length diagnostic SATs, each with a detailed analysis pinpointing individual strengths and weaknesses. The individual attention The Princeton Review gives each student is only one reason for the success of this program. Equally important is the focus of the classes. The Princeton Review approach includes a thorough review of all math, reading and writing skills tested on the SAT, including the student-written essay. However, they go beyond that and they teach test-taking techniques that make students feel in control of, rather than controlled by, the SAT.

 

The tuition covers all the work they do, including classroom instruction, three diagnostic tests, 24/7 access to online student resources, and all course materials. To learn more about The Princeton Review, please visit www.princetonreview.com.

 

To view the schedule and to register, please visit www.princetonreview.com and look under SAT classroom and your zip code. Discounted Tuition is $400. To receive the discount, please use promo code at checkout: ATLPSHIP3

 

Enrollment is limited!
