About the class
The very elements that make the SAT tricky can become your competitive advantage if you know what to look for. And that’s good news because the “standardized” in “standardized test” means the SAT uses the same kinds of question structures, writes the same kinds of trap answers, and employs the same kinds of devices to “hide” its right answers on every test. In this class, you’ll learn exactly what to look for as we examine the secrets of SAT Reading and Writing, including:
•How to recognize subtle but fatal flaws in wrong answer choices.
•How to avoid the most common mistakes test-takers make.
•How to pick up on clues in questions and answer choices.
•And much more!
Boost your SAT score and take the exam with confidence knowing the secrets and shortcuts that save time, minimize mistakes, and maximize performance.
