The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is pleased to offer The SAT Preparation Series.  Each 15-hour program covers the latest test-taking strategies and proven techniques for increasing SAT scores.  The UNC Charlotte program will allow students to learn from the instructor, from other students, and, most importantly, from their own actions by taking sample tests throughout the program.  Students will practice sample questions, with special attention given to questions requiring critical thinking and reasoning.  It is the goal of UNC Charlotte’s SAT Preparation Series to build SAT test-taking confidence and to assist students in reaching their full potential through remedial learning, careful skill analysis, and exposure to SAT practice tests. An additional session has been added to cover the new "Essay" section of the SAT.
