About Our Program
SAT/ACT Test Preparation Program
Our test preparation course will prepare Saint Joseph High School students for the SAT and ACT tests. Our course will also help students determine which test is better suited for their strengths.
These classes are only offered to Saint Joseph High School students, hosted on our campus, and taught by our teachers. Students will be familiar with their classmates, surroundings, and instructors. Our teachers know exactly how the daily curriculum at Saint Joseph High School aligns with the SAT and the ACT and how to focus the knowledge base of our students so that test scores are optimized.
If you would like to register, or if you have questions related to the course, please contact List Listo at 732-549-7600 x256 or llisto@stjoes.org.
In general, most students consider taking the SAT, ACT or both for the first time during their junior year. Guidance counselors work with students and families to determine an individualized timeline of when it would be appropriate to take these tests.
