Varsity Tutors provides a connection to a Boston SAT prep course that can help any high school student seeking assistance for SAT preparations. When you join a Boston SAT prep course, you will receive access to vast resources that can improve your knowledge of SAT testing materials and can boost your confidence when your test day arrives. The SAT is designed to assess a student's understanding and skills before their admission to a college. Current high school students like the ones who attend Boston College High School often seek additional assistance during the application process for college. If you are a student attending Boston Latin School or other high schools in the area that wishes to attend a college or university, you have to complete this step before you are accepted.
The SAT is a national standardized test administered to prospective and future college students throughout the United States. It is comprised of three sections that you are required to complete: Math, Reading, and Writing and Language. The testing time for students is 3 hours to complete the necessary sections, and an additional 50 minutes if you choose to complete the optional essay. Only correct answers are scored. However, if you must offer a guess because you are uncertain about a reply, you can do so, and the result can be beneficial.
What does a Boston SAT class cover?
Throughout your Varsity Tutors course, you will have an extensive review of the test sections. Within your review, your instructor will address the types of questions you are likely to encounter. The first section is Math and contains 58 questions. You will be given 80 minutes to respond to each item. The vital areas of math to know are problem-solving, data analysis, algebra, and some advanced math provide the fundamental elements in which each question is built. Once you begin the Math section, you will notice there are two parts; the first part you will answer 30 questions with a calculator and the second you will not. Your task in this section is to show your knowledge of math comprehension.
In the Reading section, you will have 65 minutes to complete 52 questions. Your score in this section is combined with your score on the Writing & Language section. You will be provided with multiple passages from a range of topics that you must read, examine, and evaluate. The reading material will consist of contemporary or classic literature, founding US documents, social science, and scientific concepts. The Reading section of the SAT provides you the chance to show your command of evidence and your ability to provide the basis for valid conclusions. You will need to reflect your strengths to identify the relationships between various data sets.
Once you enter the Writing and Language portion, you are required to read passages and answer 44 questions. The time allotment for this portion of the SAT is 35 minutes. The readings you are to respond to may include charts, tables, and graphs. Some questions may ask you to improve the material content by adding supporting details and emphasizing the claims made in an argument. As you navigate through the Writing and Language section, you should demonstrate your proper use of syntax by providing suggestions that improve word choices, style, and tone of the written material. You will also be asked to show your ability to identify ways to strengthen clauses, punctuation, and sentence structure.
If you want to write the optional essay after you finish the required sections, you will get an additional 50 minutes to complete your writing. After you critically read the provided article, you will have to evaluate the author's argument effectively. You must support your reasoning, develop ideas, and use persuasive elements that directly relate to what the author is trying to convey to the reader. Your task is to compose a cohesive essay that responds to the passage that you have just read. You should use correct grammar, tone, and sentence structure to communicate your response to the author.
How will a Boston SAT course benefit me?
Varsity Tutors offers several classes that can assist you with SAT preparation. After you complete your enrollment, you will be placed in a class with other students who are also preparing for the SAT. Your instructor is specifically chosen to teach your Boston SAT course because of their experience with teaching in an online environment. For each class, you will join live sessions with other students and follow a typical classroom structure. Each instructor's goal is to try to make the language, format, and content of the test clear.
The Boston SAT course provides the benefit of fully helping you understand all of the aspects that play a part in the SAT test-taking experience. Your teachers will give you an overview of the scoring process, teach you tips and techniques for different response types you will encounter, and encourage your participation in practice tests and group assignments to ensure your understanding of SAT testing materials.
Another benefit of being in a Boston SAT course is the opportunity for group interaction with other students who are also looking to increase their skill and performance for the SAT. Engaging in discussion and activities with your classmates provides excellent feedback, clarification, and support. The dialogue shared between classmates in real-time within the virtual classroom also assists in a better understanding of the materials that the SAT may include.
Your Boston SAT course is made to help each student work toward achieving their educational goals and crafting a personalized study plan for their future. By enrolling you have completed the first step towards learning useful test-taking strategies and developing an in-depth, comprehensive understanding of the material covered on the exam.

I enjoy helping people learn; I don't want people to feel afraid of the sciences and will work hard to find a method of teaching that makes the subject seem more interesting.... In my experience, students learn best when the tutor is really excited about the material and encourages students by praising them when they do well. It eventually makes the subject less tedious and the student more willing to do the work.
