Preparing for the SAT
Our RHS staff work to prepare students to take the PSAT / SAT tests in many different ways. In addition to in-class practice and instruction, we're hosting other activities to help our students feel confident and ready. Take a look at what's happening for RHS students during the weeks leading up to the test:

Advisory Hour Workshops
Students can sign up here to attend any of these SAT prep workshops during Advisory time.

Vocab Saturdays and
Math Question of the Week Weekly social media posts are sent out with useful vocabulary terms to know and math problems to solve with visuals on how to solve them. |
Desmos Videos
Each week, two social media posts will be sent out about how to use the Desmos digital calculator to solve math questions. Each post will be a different video averaging 6 minutes in length and containing helpful tips for applying to all types of math questions. |
Practice Tests and Tips
The sites below each contain free practice materials, including how-to information and practice tests.
Plan to use them by creating a weekly practice schedule, aiming for 30 minutes of practice each week. A little will go a long way to helping you be comfortable with the types of questions you'll see on the test!
