Dear Students and Parents,
It is with great excitement that we write to announce the availability of a new SAT preparation program for all 11th and 12th grade El Alsson students. Top Choice Admissions (TCA), in partnership with El Alsson, will be offering an SAT course targeting the December SAT exam both on campus at the school, as well as at locations around Cairo (6th of October, Zamalek and New Cairo).
Top Choice Admissions is an admissions consulting and standardized test preparation firm founded in 2012 by graduates of Harvard, MIT and the London School of Economics. Our test preparation courses have helped more than 1,000 students succeed on the SAT in Egypt over the last 3 years with top achievers approaching scores of 2300. This past spring alone our students went on to attend more than 60 internationally leading universities including Harvard, Yale, McGill and Oxford. On Sunday, September 6th, we delivered a presentation at El Alsson to all 11th and 12th graders during which we provided an in-depth analysis of the changes being made to the test as well as specific skills students need to master for success on the test.
This semester will be students’ final opportunity to sit the SAT in its current format. The courses we will be delivering will prepare students for the December exam using tried-and-tested methods and proprietary curricula. Our tutors are all graduates of leading American universities whom have scored in the top 5thpercentile of test takers worldwide (please see our course outline for more information about the course structure and curriculum).
The SAT course will run for 36 hours primarily meeting twice weekly and ending just before the December 5th exam. To ensure academic compatibility and targeted instruction, students will be assigned to separate verbal and math groups based on their scores on the diagnostic exam. TCA’s curriculum development team has produced three different curricula with ascending levels of difficulty. Students will spend 20 hours on the Verbal sections of the test and 16 hours on the Math section. In addition, students will receive a total of 16 hours of diagnostic testing (2 mandatory and 2 optional tests). Finally, the course enrollment deadline will be Sunday, September 29th, with classes starting on Saturday, October 3rd. Please find attached the preliminary course schedules for courses taking place on-campus at El Alsson, as well as in Zamalek, 6th of October and New Cairo.
The full fee for the 36-hour course, including instruction, testing and materials is 3,000 L.E. To register, please fill out a course registration form, available at Ms. Helen Somerville’s office. For questions, please call us at 01014682218. We look forward to helping you achieve your target SAT score!
