Here’s what educators have to say about Decoding the SAT:

"Learning specific strategies and 'cheat codes,' applying and practicing them ourselves, and then discussing the outcome of our attempts helped me figure out how to best teach these strategies."

“For as long as I have reviewed the test, been given strategies and activities, these were most realistic!"

"Great testing strategies provided and ways to incorporate SAT prep in the classroom right away."

"This is the first PD where I felt I could check all the boxes on the State Eval form."
