Practice Testing: One diagnostic SAT and ACT exam and at least two additional full practice exams (tests
published by the College Board and ACT organization). Above schedule may change to
accommodate testing.
Practice SAT and ACT Exams are scheduled several weeks apart, with dates and times
clearly noted on your Syllabus, which students will receive at the beginning of the course.
These exams replicate the actual College Board or ACT test setting, are proctored by PT
staff, and attendance is mandatory. Scheduling "make-up" practice exams is difficult and
incurs additional fees for rental space, proctors and scoring. All students with unexcused
absences from practice exams will be charged a $50.00 administrative fee for a make-up
exam sitting. Students must take their practice exams under our supervision to ensure a
clean score; exceptions to this policy will be evaluated only on an emergency, case-bycase basis. Unexcused absences include high school/club sports practices, games or
tournaments; family vacations; part-time job shifts; babysitting, job training, etc.
Excused absences will require official documentation such as a doctor's note. Please
review your syllabus carefully and plan your family events and travel accordingly.

Parent Responsibilities: This course is based on students improving their core knowledge of critical reading, vocabulary, algebra,
geometry, editing and grammar and the type of questions asked on the SAT and ACT exams. It is very
important that each student study diligently – approximately one to two hours of homework and two hours of
vocabulary review and practice each week. Parents may help by quizzing their children on vocabulary and using
the newly acquired words at home.
