Essential Question
Is your school using the SAT Online Prep Course
to improve student achievement?

3
Essential Question What are the goals of
the SAT Online Course?

The goals of the SAT Online Course are
to increase student achievement
to improve reasoning skills
to improve critical reading skills
to improve writing and communications skills
to increase students familiarity with a
reasoning test
to increase students awareness of SAT as a
reasoning test
to improve Georgias SAT scores and other
critical tests

4
Why Participate?

Georgia students who registered and participated
in the program scored
13 points higher on the critical reading section
of the SAT
19 points higher on the mathematics section of
the SAT
16 points higher on the writing section of the
SAT
Would you like a 48 point gain on the SAT?
It is FREE!

Essential Question What skills are measured by
critical reading?

Critical reading measures students abilities
to read and think carefully about the passage
(GPSELA9- 12RL1,2,3GHSGT/EOCT)
to determine the meanings of words from context
(GPSELA9- 12RL5GHSGT/EOCT)
to understand significant information directly
stated (GPSELA9- 12RL1,2,3GHSGT/EOCT)
to synthesize information (GPSELA9-12RL1,2,3,4
GHSGT/EOCT)
to analyze information (GPSELA9-12RL1,2,3,4GHSG
T/EOCT)
to make inferences (GPSELA9-12RL1,2,3,4GHSGT/EO
CT)

9
Essential Question What skills are measured by
critical reading?

Critical reading measures students abilities
to evaluate assumptions (GPSELA9- 12RL1,2,3,4GH
SGT/EOCT)
to evaluate techniques (GPSELA9-12RLGHSGT/EOCT)
to identify cause-effect (GPSELA9-12RLGHSGT)
to identify main ideas (GPSELA9-2RL2GHSGT/EOCT)
to follow the logic of an analogy/argument
(GPSELA9- 12RL1,2,3,4GHSGT/EOCT)
to understand meanings of words
(GPSELA9- 12RL5GHSGT/EOCT)
to understand the logic of sentence structure
(GHSGT/EOCT)

10
Essential Question What skills are measured by
writing?

Writing measures students abilities
to apply the conventions of standard, written
English
(GPSELA9-12C1 GPSELA9-12W1GHSWT,GHSGT
EOCT)
to think critically (GPSELA9-12C1GSHGT/GHSWT
EOCT)
to plan and complete a first draft of an essay
(GPSELA9-12C2,4GHSWT EOCT)
to select a rhetorical approach that best fits
their writing style
and purpose (GPSELA9-12C1GHSWT EOCT)

11
Essential Question What skills are measured by
writing?

Writing measures students abilities
to recognize and correct faults in sentence
structure (GPSELA9-12C1GHSWT/EOCT)
to recognize effective sentences that follow the
conventions of standard, written English
(GPSELA9-12C1GHSWT /EOCT)
to organize and develop paragraphs in a coherent
and logical manner (GPSELA9-12C1GHSWT/EOCT)
