Test-taking strategies and specific strategies for correctly answering different types of questions are taught and practiced. Students have nightly homework in vocabulary building, reading comprehension, and mathematical problem solving. Required: TI-83+/84 graphing calculator  \nCourse Prerequisites  \nA minimum final grade of “C” in Algebra I and a minimum final grade of “C” in Geometry  \nUnit Titles  \nUnit One: Navigating the Grammar and Writing Sections  \nUnit Two: Strategies for the Reading Section: Identifying and Responding to Lower Order and Higher Order Thinking Questions  \nUnit Three: SAT Math: Maximizing one’s Math Skills and Background Knowledge to Answer Questions Effectively and Efficiently.  \nEssential Questions  \n1. How and when should a student employ testing strategies (including, but not limited to eliminating questions, process of elimination, back solving, and time management) in order to be successful on the test?  \n2. What does the SAT seek to assess in each subsection of the test?  \n3. What key skills and processes are necessary to be successful on the test?  \nBig Ideas/Enduring Understandings  \nUnit One: Navigating the Grammar and Writing Sections  \n• Despite the time constraint, students should spend two – five minutes planning their written responses.  \n• A highly developed thesis will respond directly to the prompt and develop insight around the topic.  \n• A highly developed essay presents a unified thesis thread, as well as strong stylistic elements related to word choice, sentence structure, in depth content, and clear organization.  \n• The SAT assesses a select amount of grammar content. Understanding and applying these specific grammar rules contributes to improved test performance.  \n• Grammar impacts the clarity and conciseness of the sentence (i.e. using pronouns accurately, using commas correctly, and not using misplaced modifiers)  \n• The “Improved Paragraph” section requires students to think critically about text organizational structures.  \n• Evaluating organizational choices requires consideration for editing and revising.  \nUnit Two: Strategies for the Reading Section: Identifying and Responding to Lower Order and Higher Order Thinking Questions  \n• Studying Greek and Latin roots provides strong clues to increase vocabulary comprehension.  \n• Actively reading the text by assessing for who, what, when, where, and why it was written is important to processing the reading passages.  \n• Reading the questions before the passages and skimming can be helpful strategies, but it is reliant upon the type of passage and questions being asked.  \n• The SAT utilizes three types of questions: vocabulary in context, literal comprehension, and extended reasoning. To respond most effectively to extended reasoning questions, the student must be able to understand how the individual paragraphs synthesize into a meaningful whole.  \nUnit Three: SAT Math: Maximizing one’s Math Skills and Background Knowledge to Answer Questions Effectively and Efficiently.  \n• The math questions on the SAT increase in difficulty as the test progresses.  \nUnderstanding which questions are within a particular student’s range will allow the student to move through the test efficiently while avoiding penalties.  \n• The ability to answer multiple choice questions in a statistically advantageous manner allows students to maximize their potential score on the math portion of the SAT.  \n• Performance on the math portion of the SAT is not completely tied to previous math knowledge. Strong reasoning and problem solving skills can make the questions much more manageable.  \nKey Competencies/Skills/Procedures  \nUnit One: Navigating the Grammar and Writing S","cbCainDdnDZhOFR0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainDdnDZhOFR0","pdf",97976,"English","# Course Overview\n## Course Description\n## Course Prerequisites\n## Unit Titles\n## Essential Questions\n## Big Ideas/Enduring Understandings\n## Key Competencies/Skills/Procedures","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of SAT Preparation for students?\",\"answer\":\"It helps students become comfortable with the testing process by learning how to prepare mentally and by practicing strategies for the PSAT and SAT I tests.\"},{\"question\":\"Which areas do students practice through nightly homework?\",\"answer\":\"Students complete nightly homework in vocabulary building, reading comprehension, and mathematical problem solving.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the course prerequisites and required equipment?\",\"answer\":\"Students must have at least a C in Algebra I and at least a C in Geometry, and they are required to have a TI-83+/84 graphing calculator.\"}]","SAT Preparation - Course Overview | PDF",15]
