SAT Prep Class to be Offered
Taft Union High School is offering a free, 20-hour class to students who want to prepare for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Many colleges require applicants to take the SAT as part of the admissions process.
Similar classes in Bakersfield cost between $100 and $150.
Refreshments will be provided during all sessions.
Also, several scholarships awarded through the TUHS local scholarship program give special consideration to students who have above-average SAT scores. Nearly $200,000 in scholarships was awarded to seniors at the annual Honors Night last May.
Instructors are English teacher Jim Carnal and math teacher Josh Tofte.
Classes begin Saturday, Sept. 9, and end on Monday, Sept. 27. Classes will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9; 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11, Thursday, Sept. 14, Monday, Sept. 18, and Wednesday, Sept. 20; 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday Sept. 23; and 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Saturday classes will meet in the IRC lecture hall. Midweek classes will meet in room 209 of the science building.
The SAT test will be given at Taft High on Saturday, Oct. 7. Regular registration deadline for the test is Sept. 8.
The class will only be offered this fall. It will not be offered in the spring of 2018 because of low turnout last spring.
