College Passport at University Settlement is excited to announce that the application for our early FREE Saturday SAT Prep program for 10th graders is now LIVE!  Apply here: https://forms.office.com/r/Ha4Bib8J4M.
 
Sophomore Skills is an intensive, small-group test prep program for students with an emphasis in math and English – the key areas tested on the SAT and on regents exams.  As part of the program, students will be required to take a PSAT in which their scores will be used to determine the level of academic support they will need. Students will also receive a free SAT English and math book in addition to weekly metro cards for transportation. 
 
Our educators are well-trained professionals who will be working with students!  Sophomore Skills is an excellent opportunity for students who will be taking their SAT in their Junior year and would like to get a head start in preparing. 
 
 
 
Attached, you will find our flyer with the calendar which has the program dates from beginning and has the application link.   P
Application deadline is February 26th, 2023!
Classes will be held on Saturday at East Side Community High School at: 420 East 12th Street. New York, NY 10009.
