SAT Summer Bootcamp 2021

The Crimson Review Summer Bootcamp is an intensive period of study designed to prepare students for the August 28th SAT exam.  Students will learn all the components of the SAT, the strategies, and the content knowledge that they will need to be successful on test day.

Everyone knows how competitive college admissions and scholarships are these days – this program is designed to ensure students reach their goals and have the best choice of schools possible.

See below for details on the program and score guarantee.

 

*** COVID-19 Update:  We are planning on running the course as described below with restricted student numbers, provided regulations allow.  This will provide a tremendous opportunity for a small number of students to have even smaller classes.  Deposits are fully refundable if the course does not run as described.

 

 

 

What To Look For

When comparing SAT summer programs, it’s important to ask some key questions in helping to make a decision, such as:

  • Can the facility keep students safe by following all guidance on COVID?  We have reduced student numbers to be able to maintain physical distance at all times, we require masks at all times, and will be disinfecting between classes.  Our very first priority is for all students to have a safe and healthy environment to learn in.
  • Does the program offer a score guarantee?  If so, do they set the baseline from an actual College Board SAT or their own (harder) test?  Crimson Review offers a score increase of 250 points or the 98th percentile, and uses only actual tests to give a true picture of student progress.
  • Does the program offer small group sizes?  We have further reduced our already small class sizes – we will have no more than 6 students in Malvern and 8 students in Wayne in a classroom.
  • Does the program use only actual College Board tests (the gold standard), or do they make up their own tests?  We use only College Board tests so students know exactly what they will see on test day.
  • Does the company specialize in SAT and ACT, or do they offer lots of other tests?  Crimson Review is dedicated to these two tests, and our instructors are deep experts.  All instructors at Crimson Review scored in the 99th percentile on their own SATs.
  • Does the company have a 30+ year track record of helping students succeed?  We’ve been helping students do their best on test day since 1986.

Course Information

Course Content

The course will cover the entirety of the SAT, including:

Crimson Review had incorporated the latest research from educational specialists in our materials to help students learn more, faster.  We’ve broken the test down into a series of small concepts that students need to know, so that they can master the individual skills.

The curriculum includes recognizing each problem type, the strategy for getting to the right answer, and any content knowledge the student needs.  Students take frequent assessments and full-length tests to measure progress and have a chance to practice skills in a safe environment.
