Lander University will offer a special course beginning July 15 and continuing through Aug. 5 for high school students who plan to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scheduled for next fall.

The focus will be on test-taking strategies, covering key mathematics and critical reading and writing concepts that are included on the SAT. The course will also assist students in developing a targeted approach for each question, and discuss when to guess and how much time to use on each part of the process.
The fee is $180 and covers the cost of a book, 32 hours of instruction and four practice tests.
The course will focus on test-taking strategies, including review of key math, critical reading and writing concepts that are covered on the exam. Students will also examine how the SAT is written to develop a targeted approach for each question type,
