College readiness

SAT Prep

The SAT rewards calm pacing and fixing repeat mistakes more than cramming. This course applies the skills from the other Ava's Place courses to one high-stakes test on the road to college.

Launchers (grades 10–12) heading to college, plus adults re-entering school who need a score. Self-paced: 6 modules (short video, practice set, Error Log entry), about 60–90 minutes each. Learners move at their own speed, with a suggested pace of one module per week and an optional live Q&A office hour.

The Error Log

For every missed question: topic · why I missed it (didn't know, misread, rushed, ran out of time) · the fix · retest date.

Before you start: quick self-check

Rate each line from 1 (not yet) to 5 (definitely) before module 1, then again after your Real-World Rep.
