SAT+Prep

For the 2017-2018 school year we will be using Study Island for both SAT and ACT Prep. Get your user name and password from Dr. Leach and go to Study Island. Check out the website, find your assignment and see who will be the first to get a blue ribbon!
 * Welcome to SAT Prep!**


 * Parent/Student Accountability** - Due to Dr. Leach by 9/15/17


 * Syllabus**


 * Step-by-Step, once signed in!**
 * Each assignment has lessons, be sure to read the lesson before beginning the practice questions. Click on "Practice" and try 10 questions.
 * If you have a 70% after trying 10 questions, you should see a blue ribbon icon in front of the lesson! If so...go to the next lesson!
 * If you do not have a 70% after trying 10 questions, go back to the lesson to review and then continue to try questions until you have attained a 70%!
 * After finishing all the lessons in an assignment, go to the next assignment.
 * Do one topic per day in the Math section, and one topic every two days in the reading section to finish the course!
