Meet Alexis B (YPS ‘28), the founder of the SAT Prep Club. Read on to see the full Q&A.🐾
Q: Tell me a little bit about yourself.
A: My name is Alexis, and I’m in 11th grade. I like playing volleyball and spending time with my friends.
Q: Why did you create the SAT Prep Club?
A: I wanted a space where students could work on the SAT within school hours with teachers. Studying for the SAT can be extremely time-consuming and hard to manage alongside homework, school, and sports. SAT tutors are also really expensive, and the SAT club allows students to advance their skills by learning new terms and tricks for the SAT with teachers they already know and trust.
Q: What are your hopes and dreams for the SAT Prep Club?
A: I hope that I can reduce the fear of standardized testing and help students improve their SAT scores, manage their time, and help them feel more confident when taking standardized tests.
Congratulations to our Girls Varsity Soccer on a fantastic season & playoff run! ⚽️🐾
