ASAT/SAT Preparing our students to succeed, to score as high as they want to score without --at the same time --having them strive to be merely paid servants. Baba Baffour (Asa Hilliard) teaches that the SAT and other standardized tests of our knowledge, aptitude, achievement and potential are bogus, not just because they are culturally biased, but because they can only measure how much we know and care about the 801 things that Europeans know and care about. It only measures our potential for good service to our oppressors. What of service to us, to African people, to our community? Doing well on the SAT doesn't insure or even facilitate or measure how ready our students are to provide honorable service to our people, to our healing, our growth, development or defense. For that, we need the ASAT. The African Student Achievement Test and study program. Our experience shows that students who are grounded in their past, culture, mission, vision and purpose are more motivated to do well on the SAT. With deliberated preparation, they experience less fear and distress about the test. This lends itself to better SAT performance and greater social responsibility to our people and culture. | Components of

| Students get to be in community of students and families determined to have their students achieve excellence on both the ASAT and the SAT. Students start with simulated diagnostic tests. They get daily practice supervised by a coach. And with each class they receive individualized attention targeted to areas they need to attend to. We don't just teach them test taking skills, we also fill in the gaps in their knowledge base of what will be tested. They socialize online and off. In fact, we ask participating families to host ASAT/SAT parties twice per month.  Good food, good friends, great scholarship; great connection and commitment to support each other in succeeding.
