Assuming six classes and 36 weeks of school per year, that’s 1728 schoolwork hours per year for the typical college-bound high school student. By the end of junior year, that’s 5184 academic hours. Just to be safe, let’s round down to 4,800 hours. That’s 120 hours per CAM point. Suppose a student spends an average of two hours per week over the course of 12 months preparing for the SAT.
