<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

How self-sufficient is your child when it comes to academics?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

If your child <\/span>benefits from being held accountable<\/b> by a teacher who will <\/span>keep their attention<\/span> and give them specific assignments to <\/span>improve their SAT scores<\/span>, consider signing them up for a<\/span>\u00a0live online<\/a> Kaplan SAT course<\/span>.

How much time per week does your child have to prepare for the SAT?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

The amount of time high schoolers have to study for the SAT each week varies widely depending on their course load and extracurriculars. If your child is <\/span>involved in sports, music, and student government <\/b>and<\/i><\/b> taking a heavy, challenging course load, for example,<\/b> it\u2019s possible that attending a weekly SAT course would be one too many things on their plate. To <\/span>reduce the risk of placing excess stress on your child<\/span> in this situation, consider our <\/span>SAT On Demand Course<\/span><\/a>, which uses just 30 minutes per day to teach your child test content and strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, our <\/span>Live Online SAT courses<\/span><\/a>\u00a0are administered through an online classroom and recorded for later review. This means that there\u2019s no commute time, and if your child is late or misses a live class session, they can review it later when they have time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your child is <\/span>able to devote considerable time each week to studying for the SAT<\/b>, it\u2019s still important to find a prep option that <\/span>consolidates resources<\/span> and provides <\/span>detailed, immediate feedback and explanations<\/span>. Our <\/span>Live Online<\/span><\/a>\u00a0SAT courses are taught by expert Kaplan SAT instructors who teach in a way that <\/span>motivates<\/span> students, <\/span>holds their attention<\/span>, and helps them <\/span>improve their SAT scores<\/span>. Depending on which session you select, your child will meet from one to four times per week and complete assignments outside of class that will augment and solidify everything they\u2019ve learned.<\/span><\/p>\n

In what kinds of environments does your child learn best?<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

If your child is a <\/span>social learner<\/b>, an <\/span>Live Online SAT course<\/span><\/a> would be an excellent prep option for them.

For even more individualized attention, our <\/span>tutoring packages<\/span><\/a>, which include in-person and online options, will target your child\u2019s needs and give personalized <\/span>feedback<\/span> to help them <\/span>boost their scores<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your child <\/span>works best on their own<\/b>, without distractions, purchasing one of <\/span>Kaplan\u2019s SAT books<\/span><\/a> may be a good starting place. They can begin by reviewing the content and strategies in the books, take some of the <\/span>included practice tests<\/span>, and then decide if they would benefit from outside structure, such as that which they\u2019d find in a <\/span>Live Online SAT Course<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>SAT On Demand<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
