SAT Preparation

SAT Prep Course
Pine-Richland has established a partnership with Goldstein Test Prep, a top, local SAT/ACT test preparation program.  Goldstein Test Prep has worked with hundreds of Pine-Richland High School students, counseled families through the testing progress, and helped students achieve sizable gains.   
 
Goldstein Test Prep hosts SAT and ACT programs at Pine-Richland High School at a reduced rate for all PRHS students, as well as providing scholarships to families who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Please find the details of our partnership below, as well as upcoming courses and information about Goldstein Test Prep.

Highlights

  • On-site Courses - Goldstein Test Prep will conveniently provide programs at PRHS after school.  See the table below for their upcoming SAT courses.  ACT courses will also be available and will be shared once finalized.  Evening courses will still be running at the Pine-Richland Youth Center.
  • Unlimited Practice Tests - While each schedule below includes four full-length practice tests, students are welcome to attend an unlimited number of practice exams during and after their programs.
  • Ongoing Support and Free Reviews - After completing a group course, students are welcome to sit in on future courses of the same type to review at no additional charge.
  • Consultations and Guidance - All Goldstein Test Prep families receive a free consultation regarding testing dates to target and ongoing support.
  • Small Class Sizes - Courses will be capped in order to keep class sizes small.  If more than 12 students register for a particular course, it will be split into multiple sections with multiple instructors, and both sections will run at the same time.
  • Pine-Richland Student Discount and Additional Financial Aid - All Pine-Richland families save $100 on the cost of an SAT course. Use the discount code PR100 when registering. Families who qualify for free or reduced lunch will receive financial aid to make programs accessible. If you are interested in financial aid, please contact program founder and director, Mike Goldstein, at mike.goldstein@goldsteintestprep.com or at 412-874-7645.
  • Pine-Richland Community - Goldstein Test Prep is run by Pittsburgh natives for Pittsburgh families.  Since 2010, they've been running free information sessions for Pine-Richland families, and annually helping over 100 Pine-Richland students prepare for the SAT and ACT.
  • Accolades - Goldstein Test Prep was recently selected by CBS Local as one of the top SAT/ACT preparation programs in the region.
  • Options - Goldstein Test Prep offers group courses, private tutoring, and combination programs for both the SAT and the ACT. Every family receives a free consultation and ongoing support to determine which tests might be best for students to pursue. They also work with families to determine the appropriate number of hours students need to meet their goals.  While small enough to have individual relationships with their families, Goldstein Test Prep offers flexible options in order to find the right program and price point for each family.  
  • Elite Teachers and Mentorship - All teachers have scored in the 99th percentile of test-takers and have attended an Ivy League or equivalent undergraduate program.  Goldstein Test Prep instructors are young, ambitious, and talented.  Full-time tutors each have at least five years of experience teaching SAT and ACT preparation. Also, having recently and successfully traversed the college admissions process, instructors are in a unique position to serve as mentors to their students (see featured instructors at the end of the document). 
  • The Right Approach - Students learn how each question type is designed to test them on a very narrow set of skills, specifically step-by-step thinking processes.  By pulling back the curtain on the SAT and ACT, Goldstein Test Prep seeks to empower students. They also review every concept that students will encounter on each test.  Students develop a clear system for each section and know exactly what to expect on test day.
