The two verbal SAT I exams are called "critical reading" and "writing". They are what colleges look at most in determining admissions and scholarships. This class will help you master the skills that these exams teach.

The exams are offered by the "College Board," and cost only $45. The exams are offered at local high schools in early March, early May and early June. Registration deadlines are a month before the test dates, and all the information and process for registration are available online.<ref>http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/sat-dates</ref>

Many students make the mistake of not taking the SAT until it delays consideration of their application by colleges, which hurts their opportunity to be admitted and earn scholarships. If a college starts considering application in November, then they need to see your SAT scores at the same time. That means you have to take them by October at the latest. But you'll want to take the SATs several times, so you need to take it once or twice the prior spring to ensure you have maximized your overall score. Procrastination -- putting off registration and the taking of the test -- will end up costing you a great deal of money and opportunity. It's not just how a student does on the SAT that matters, but how much initiative he showed in taking the test early enough to help him.
