SAT Practice:

Break the class up into groups of four (please break them up yourselves) and from the SAT Q&A questionnaire give them questions to answer. Don’t give them the answers till the end and see who gets more questions right. Try to make the questions a little hard since they are working together. This is to let the class know exactly what kid of questions will be on the SAT’s.
