An Intensive Course
This course aims to improve the reading, writing, and math skills of students taking the SAT. Using 400 illustrative slides, it gives a clear breakdown on the questions you will expect to see in the test, and you will learn strategies to work confidently. Many students, including students with good GPAs, run out of time when doing the actual test. To do well in the SAT, you need to spot the different types of questions and pick the right strategy that keeps to the time limit. Ultimately, the test is just a fun challenge that separates students who learn by memorization versus students who not only mastered the basics but are ready to adapt concepts. This course keeps within the scope of the test and is packed with invaluable reading and writing insights, and powerful math shortcuts. Additionally, the course explains key concepts clearly so that the student understands the foundational principles and can get up to speed quickly.
