SAT Prep Class Kicks Off
2nd Year
 Building
on the success of an amazing
first year, Yonkers Partners
in Education kicked-off
the second year of its popular
SAT Prep program for Yonkers
high school juniors.
The twelve-session class,
administered by industry
leader Kaplan Test Prep,
has already made a huge
difference for Yonkers students
applying to college. In
the 2007-2008 school year,
students who took this class
increased their scores by
an average of 152 points
and eighty students increased
their scores by as much
as 200 to 400 points.
The 2009 SAT Prep program,
generously sponsored by
the Thomas and Agnes Carvel
Foundation and the TD Bank
North Charitable Foundation,
is free for eligible students.
