Vocab & Grammar Essentials for the SAT
Targeting Grades 9th-11th
This is a 10-week program focused on improving SAT verbal scores in preparation for the August–October SAT tests.
Our standard SAT classes and tutoring fully cover both math and verbal content. Vocab & Grammar Essentials provides small-group practice, repetition to mastery, and timed drills to maximize verbal score growth. It is designed as a targeted enhancement to full SAT preparation.
The Structure of the SAT Reading & Writing Section
The SAT verbal section is composed of five key skill areas:
Sentence Completion
Short Reading Passages
Standard English
Transitional Words and Phrases
Research Questions
Vocabulary Development
Each of these five areas depends, to varying degrees, on a strong working vocabulary. Even when students understand the strategies and question types, unfamiliar language can limit performance.
Summer is the ideal time to build and strengthen SAT-level vocabulary — vocabulary that supports not only test performance, but also college-level reading and writing. Using real SAT questions and contextual practice, students will expand and refine their working vocabulary in meaningful, applicable ways.
Standard English
Standard English accounts for approximately 26% of the SAT Reading & Writing section. At its core, this portion tests essential grammar skills.
The SAT relies on a predictable set of question types. Because of this predictability, students can master the patterns and approach this section with confidence.
Students will develop strong command of:
• Sentence structure
• Punctuation
• Modifiers
• Verb tense and agreement
• Pronoun agreement
All instruction is delivered within the context of authentic SAT-style material, ensuring that grammar mastery translates directly to improved test performance.
