SAT Online Prep Course

For the third consecutive school year, the SAT Online Prep Course is available to all Georgia students, grades 9-12. Once registered in SAT Online, students can access the course from any computer with internet capability, 24/7. Students registered in SAT Online need not re-apply as the subscription for the course rolls over from school year to school year provided the student is actively using the site. Students registering after September 2007 will have to be given unique activation codes. This new procedure will not apply to any student currently registered in SAT Online. 

See Mrs. Hamby or Mrs. Fishman for registration instructions and activation codes.
