Should Stroudsburg offer an SAT prep course?
March 15, 2018
Middle of junior year is here, thinking about college? Scoring well on Tests? Your Future?
How are you preparing yourself for the SATs?
SATs are a test of a student’s academic skills, used for admission to US colleges. For many students who want to go continue their education, SATs are a test they should take.
There are many paid and free online courses to help students familiarize themselves with the content and style of the test. These sites offer daily practice questions and multiple scheduled timed practice tests. Bellow are a couple of sites. There are also private and open classes taught by teachers. Generally these are 10-12 week programs leading up to a test.
Most students and teachers have the belief that an SAT course should be implemented in the school. English teacher Miss Shari Griswold believes that we should have an SAT prep course, ai???I would like a second semester sophomore prep class and first semester junior prep course that is an elective, one you could take it if you would likeai???.
This class could help benefit students if they are planning to attend college and want to improve. Junior Shane Balgobin agrees, ai???Yes, a SAT prep course would help familiarize and prepare me and many others for this testai???. Additionally, since many schools look at SAT scores, Miss Griswold thinks, ai???If your planning on attending college, this is absolutely beneficialai???.
So should Stroudsburg offer and SAT prep course? Comment below!

I also agree this is an interesting topic it helps students thin about their future and what they want to do after they go to high school debating on whether they want to go to college or not this seems beneficial for planning on attending college.

This is a topic that needs to be discussed by whoever makes the courses because I know I would have wanted to take the class to help with the SATs. The SATs are now one of the main factors on whether you get into college or not. I also think it would help reduce some of the stress people get while taking the test since they have been preparing for it.

I feel as though we should have this course available to students because it would prepare us for whats on the test and makes us more familiar with the test.

I feel that it would be a great idea for Stroudsburg to offer an SAT prep course. While studying and preparing on your own is a good thing to do sometimes it is not. You can stumble across things you might not know how to solve or get distracted to the point where you just refuse to study anymore. Sometimes its just best to have a hands on course. But also sometimes its just easier to understand when with others in a class and having a teacher go through with you. In this case, it would benefactor you by preparing you more efficiently then on your own. From what I’ve heard from friends and and the others around me, none of them really studied the right way or understood what thy were studying. So that being said an SAT prep course would greatly help and be a wonderful addition to the courses available at Stroudsburg and I hope to one day here the good news that they added the course.
