 ASAT/SAT Test Preparation:What is ASAT? It stands for Afrikan Student Achievement Test. It has been a part of our one-on-one SAT coaching for years. Baba Baffour (Asa Hilliard) teaches us that SAT tests and other "standardized" testing and teaching is preparation for serving Europeans under the guise of assessing our knowledge, aptitude, potential, intelligence, etc. His way of looking at the test is: “Of the things white people know and care about, how many do you know and care about?” To really assess the student, you would have to ask: “What do you know and care about?" Every society teaches its members what they need to know and care about to help that group survive and thrive, to help improve the group's condition and create or maintain a prosperous future. So what do African youth, their parents and community need to "know and care" about in order to improve the condition of African people, in order to restore our people to wholeness, in order to answer the five questions Baba Clarke insisted that we ask and answer in our lifetimes:
This has guided AYA’s approach to SAT, Praxis, GRE, etc. Preparation and Coaching. In preparation for an expanded SAT course, we’ve decided to prepare students to pass an “ASAT”: African Student Achievement Test where they are taught and tested on how much they know and care about those things that would prepare them them to serve the African community. In our limited experience, when coaching one-on-one, this ASAT preparation has affirmed in the students a sense of identity, mission and purpose and increased their motivation and, thereby, their performance on SAT testing. We want our students to excel on the SAT and in life; we don't want them to become alienated from the Black community and honorable service to African people in the process.
