Adelphi SAT and
ACT Programs
1. What
is the student taught in the Adelphi SAT and ACT Programs?
The Adelphi SAT and ACT Programs teach the student how to
study for and take these tests. The Adelphi Programs help
the student improve concentration abilities, reduce test-taking
anxiety and increase self-confidence.
The instruction emphasizes verbal and mathematical reasoning,
and test-taking strategies.
We utilize a variety of materials.
The grammar and writing programs stress vocabulary development,
reading comprehension and reading speed. The math programs
review arithmetic (fractions, percents, decimals),
elementary algebra and geometry skills,
and emphasize their application to problem solving.
2. How are the Adelphi Programs
different?
The Adelphi SAT and ACT Programs are personalized one-on-one
programs that take place in the privacy of the student's home
or in an Adelphi office. Unlike large group programs, the
Adelphi courses are tailored to meet the needs of the individual.
It is not necessary for the student to be bored working on
group material that is too easy nor does he or she have to
be lost in the crowd while attempting material that is too
difficult.
The Adelphi SAT and ACT Programs offer the student the option of
preparing for the tests in one, two or three areas:
reading, mathematics or writing.
Our instructors are language or math specialists
familiar with the content and structure of the tests.
The first session includes diagnostic testing.
Then, the student is directed to do
specific assignments including timed tests,
and to keep progress records.
3. How can students taking
the Adelphi SAT and ACT Programs expect to perform?
Students in our SAT or ACT Programs generally make significant
improvements in their scores. The amount of improvement will
depend on several factors including: the student's PSAT score,
previous SAT or ACT scores, instructional hours, and homework
time completed.
4. What other services does
Adelphi provide for the college bound student?
We provide one-on-one remediation or enrichment tutoring in
all high school subjects, and in many college subjects. We
prepare students for the SAT Subject Area Tests and Advanced
Placement Tests. All of these services are provided in the
privacy of the student's home or at an Adelphi office at a
time convenient for the student and his or her family. We
assist the student with the college application essays, but
we do not write the essays. We can also provide the names
of qualified professionals for further assistance with your
college selection process.
