Brainfuse is offering a free, live SAT workshop series to help high school students build skills and confidence before test day.

The 11-course series is designed to support students across all sections of the SAT. Each session runs for one hour and is hosted live on Zoom. Weekly topics—SAT fundamentals, reading comprehension, grammar and writing skills, algebra, geometry, data analysis, and effective use of Desmos for SAT Math—will focus on practical strategies students can use right away.

The workshops are led by Brian Stewart, author of ACT, SAT, and PSAT test-preparation books published through Barron’s Educational Series. Brian is the president of BWS Education Consulting, a test-preparation and tutoring company.
