SAT Preparation Courses

SAT PREP

Each school year, Penn High School offers SAT preparation courses. This course covers test-taking strategies to prepare students to take the SAT test, as well as other standardized tests.

Classes usually meet twice for an English review and twice for a mathematics review - a total of four classes. Each student receives a Barron's SAT workbook as part of the class fee. If you have a student interested in taking the classes offered at Penn High School, please contact the coordinator of the Penn-Harris-Madison Community Education Department, Jenny Forkner at 258-9568 for more information.  Click here for this year's prep course information.

Parents and students who would like to know specific dates for the SAT test may visit the college board website to register to take the test.

ACT PREP

Colleges/Universities accept either the SAT or the ACT for college admittance exams, so it is basically one's preference as to which one the student takes. If you are interested in taking the ACT, you may visit the ACT website for more information.

Penn High School does not offer an ACT preparation course, but the Penn Guidance Department receives information each year from private companies who offer preparation courses for both the ACT and the SAT. Please stop by the Guidance Office for more information.
