As of Spring 2018 the West Virginia Department of Education has chosen the SAT as the new statewide standardized test for high school juniors to replace the Smarter Balanced exam. Therefore, the SAT will be given to most WV public high school students free of charge. The ACT will continue to be available to WV students on their national testing dates, but at their own expense. Due to this change, we have added a SAT boot camp the weekend before the state test date.
$140/ weekend session; $300/ week long session (only held in summers)

Should your child take the ACTs or SATs? This very much depends on your child’s strengths and their college/scholarship test score goals. Here is a good overview of the difference between the math sections of the ACT and SAT:
Our goal is to:
- allow students to identify their weakest skills
- collaborate with their peers and the instructor to build on existing knowledge
- work daily to practice an average pacing of 1 question per 1 minute
- reassess their skills at the end of the week so they are prepared to continue studying on their own before the exam
