The SAT is a tough exam, but learning to ace it doesn’t have to be.  At Catalyst, we take the actual SAT every time it’s given to gain insider knowledge of the exam, and we pass our expertise to students with patience, understanding, and a welcome sprinkling of humor and creativity. 

Catalyst’s two-day SAT Boot Camp arms students with go-to strategies for every question they will face on the day of the test so they can march into the test with confidence, momentum, and every key strategy fresh in their mind.  To enroll, call 800.235.0056, sign up at https://catalystprep.com/bootcamp_su, or email info@CatalystPrep.com.
