The student and I went over the new concept she is learning in math. At the start of the session, she had no idea how to do any of it, and by the end she had almost mastered it. She seemed more focused today and her progress reflected it!

We went over his test in detail, going over the mistakes he made and how he can avoid making them next time. A lot of the test questions had to do with lab activities from his time in class.

Otherwise, he needs to work on his pacing so he can have time to do some free response problems, and I will try to find ways to improve his speed.

First, we did a quick overview of common tricks that appear on the SAT, and how to recognize these problems by sight. After that, we discussed a variety of math strategies that are applicable to different problem types, such as translation for word problems, back-solving, and picking your own numbers. She seemed to derive a lot of confidence from this work, because she suddenly understood how to tackle problems that had previously been too intimidating.
