KAPLAN STRATEGIES
While all skills are tested on the SAT, not all skills are created equal. Some skills are tested more than others, have a higher point value, and are more significant to students. Kaplan teaches you to be successful at the skills with the highest point values first.

The Academic Center is Now Open For All Students
The A.C. is primarily a drop-in facility where students are welcomed during their prep period, brunch, free period, lunch or after-school. Feel free to come in and type/print assignments, surf the web, finish last minute homework, cram for quizzes and tests, or just relax in-between your classes with friends (just be sure to keep your voices down, the library is next door.)
We have an entire lab of Mac computers, a few Macs/PCs solely for the A.C., printers, textbooks and various supplies and reference materials for use in the Academic Center.
While students may work together in the A.C., each student is responsible for adhering to Gunn’s Academic Honesty/Integrity policies regarding cheating (including copying homework) and plagiarism.

The Center Mission
The Gunn High School Academic Center is an inclusive and free support center for all students and has a respect for students’ diverse learning styles and cultural/academic backgrounds.
To improve academic performance, the A.C. is both a place and an opportunity for students to receive tutoring, work individually on homework/test studying, and in small groups to collaborate on projects.
The A.C. recruits student tutors and excellent adult community volunteers who have demonstrated competence in various subjects to provide quality tutoring to students requesting support in their academics. |
