Kaohsiung American School SAT Prep Program

Testtakers is making its well-established SAT preparation program available to KAS students. The program will run on-campus at KAS from May 9th to 12th, then on the Zoom platform leading to the June 7, 2025 SAT test date. Please find the full schedule below.

Note that only students in the year of 2026 or 2027 should consider enrolling in this program.

This program will cover the new-format digital SAT (dSAT) available since March 2023. More on the new test format here.

Lead instructor and program director Jeremy Craig has been teaching test preparation since he was an undergraduate at Columbia University where he studied Chinese history and international political economy. He established Testtakers Singapore in 2001 in partnership with Testtakers (USA) in New York. Since then he has taught and run over 350 full SAT preparation programs - most in partnership with international schools. Jeremy has written extensively on trends in testing and admissions as well as presented many informative webinars and short videos trying to make sense of things.

The focus of the program is on new techniques and strategies to apply the knowledge students already have to the context of the SAT - not tedious practice and rote memorisation. The lessons are highly interactive with students encouraged to participate in a group setting - not a top-down “do it this way” lecture. We have worked with the following schools in the past: United World College of South East Asia, Tanglin Trust School, Overseas Family School, Zurich International School, NIST Bangkok, International School of Bangkok, International School of Manila, Bali International School, MKIS (Malaysia), Garden International School (Malaysia), JIS (Brunei), TASIS (Switzerland), and many others. Our focus is on test preparation and we do not offer any add-on university placement services, talk to your school counsellors on that as they would know you best.

Most American universities have gone “test optional” for the next few admissions cycles but there is compelling evidence that having a good score will help with admissions prospects. For students applying to the many excellent European universities, many schools are accepting the SAT in lieu of other application tests.

The comprehensive fee is US$1150 which can be paid via credit card through Stripe or through Wise after final confirmation of the program. At this stage we just ask that you register your interest and intent by completing the registration form. Upon confirmation we will let you know and we can proceed with payment to get you the Study Buddy flashcard so you have something to work on before the course starts.
