What Does An Austin SAT Prep Class Cover? It's important to understand exactly what type of exam you are up against. The SAT is comprised of three main sections: Critical Reading, Math, and Language & Writing. The Essay section is optional. Although the Essay is left up to the test taker's discretion, some schools require the Essay to be completed. You'll be presented with questions in varying formats and complexities in the other sections.
The Reading section has 52 multiple choice questions in which you'll have 65 minutes to answer. The key to performing well in this section is knowing how to approach each passage. Students can expect their critical thinking and logic skills to be challenged. The question will ask you to identify the definition of specific words based on context clues, figure out the main idea, and compare written passages.
The Writing and Language section is made up of 44 multiple choice questions and you'll be allotted 35 minutes to complete the section. This portion requires that you identify and revise errors within a text. Essentially, you'll be editing the material provided to demonstrate your command of the English language.
Broken into two components, the Math section of the SAT can be intense. During the first 25 minutes of the exam, students are prohibited from using a calculator. On the rest of the section, students are allowed to use a calculator. The math subjects that are typically covered in the exam include algebra, geometry, and arithmetic. Having basic mathematical formulas memorized is necessary during this part of the test.
The Essay section is the last part of the test. Students will have 50 minutes to write a well-organized essay based on a persuasive writing passage. In this section, clearly expressing your thoughts, using proper grammar, and effectively analyzing the argument will determine how well you score. Although you don't have to complete the Essay portion, it is generally thought to be in your best interest to do it.
How Can An Austin SAT Course Prepare Me?
In a prep course, you'll develop a deep understanding of the structure of the SAT and gain some insight into what type of questions you could be faced with. These SAT courses are held in an interactive online environment through the Live Learning Platform. Much like a traditional classroom setting, there will be several other students in the same class. Students will take part in group discussions and activities. This student-centered approach is conducive to learning because it can help to instill confidence. Students are able to draw from insights from each other, which is beneficial because working along with your peers can improve retention and enhance your understanding of the material presented.
Every week, new Austin SAT courses begin, and students have the option of enrolling in a two-week or four-week class session. When determining which class you should sign up, for it's important to factor in your current academic performance and skill set. Some students can get the preparation help they need in a quick two-week session while others benefit most from a month-long prep course.
In an Austin SAT prep class, instructors can teach students test-taking strategies that they can implement when they take the SAT. Strategies such as the process of elimination, paying close attention to context clues, and making an educated guess can be a lifesaver during the exam.
An SAT class is the perfect opportunity to work on concepts that you've been struggling with. For instance, if you find it a challenge to compose a well-written essay free of grammatical errors, the instructor could help you improve in this area. Being open about your areas of opportunity and strengths in a prep class could help make you academically stronger. You'll be able to seek help from not just your instructor, but your peers who are strong in areas that you are not. You can also learn new test-taking strategies or increase your skills in difficult-to-understand concepts. The best part of it all is that it takes place online, which means you'll never have to leave the comfort of your home for SAT prep.
