State College of Florida offering SAT, ACT prep courses

The State College of Florida at Manatee-Sarasota has announced that it is offering SAT and ACT prep courses for students who need to prepare for the tests.

Both classes will be comprised of two parts. Each part of the prep courses will cost $100, or students can pay $174 for both parts.

“Part one will prepare students for the verbal questions on the SAT and ACT tests, assessing knowledge of English usage, grammar and reading comprehension,” according to the SCF website. “The classes also teach students how to maximize their time on reading comprehension passages of the verbal and science portions of the college entrance exams.”

The second portion of the prep course completes the college's offering.

“Part two will prepare students for essay questions, teaching how to do the best writing in a short period of time,” according to the website. “This course focuses on specific question types on the exams and gives pointers on time management, anxiety relief, scoring and general standardized test-taking. Part two also offers weekly assignments to prepare for the math portions of the exams.”

More information about the courses can be obtained by contacting Director of SCF Workforce Development Lee Kotwicki by phone at 941-363-7218 or by email at KotwicL@SCF.edu.
