Dear Students : Most students and parents do not realize that as few as seven questions can change an SAT score by 100 points, which can make a significant difference when applying to competitive colleges and for scholarship monies. Expecting 100% of our AHHS Juniors to have already registered to take the SAT and ACT at least once before the school year ends, the following has been arranged to prepare you for the last two SAT tests this school year: an intensive five-hour SAT Specific Boot Camp, scheduled for Saturday, April 21, 2012 at the Alamo Heights High School Cafeteria hosted by Test Prep Seminars, a nationally renowned test preparation provider

This workshop is designed to give effective test-taking and time-management strategies that may help realize a significant increase in SAT scores. To learn more, please visit www.testprepseminars.org The normal cost of this SAT Boot Camp is $250. however, Test Prep Seminars is making the camp available for only $45 to help students improve their test scores. This five-hour workshop is both effective and economical. Materials include 2 books for each participant, including 26 practice tests with detailed answers and explanations, along with a strategy book to further complement your child’s learning.
