Varsity Tutors can help you identify the type of Cincinnati SAT prep that will best accommodate your scheduling and academic needs. Whether you are a student at a school like Walnut Hills High School or Saint Ursula Academy, you are probably already aware of how high the stakes are when it comes to taking the SAT. College admissions officials will look at your scores and consider them as part of the criteria for determining whether or not to accept you into one of their programs. Even if you aren't sure which college you want to attend or what you want to study, the scores you receive on the SAT can factor into your ability to pursue your academic goals.
By prioritizing your SAT preparation efforts, you are giving yourself a tremendous advantage over those students who decide to prepare on their own. You will have the assurance that you are reviewing the material that will be on the test and have the opportunity to become more familiar with the testing format. Continue reading to learn more about what to expect on test day and how Varsity Tutors can help you maximize your preparation efforts.
What can Cincinnati SAT prep cover?
There are three required sections on the SAT, and one that is optional. The mandatory parts include Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. The optional section is the SAT Essay. You will have three hours to complete the required portions of the test and an additional 50 minutes to complete the SAT Essay if you choose to include it.
The Writing and Language section of the SAT is combined with the Reading section when the test is scored. Between the two you can earn between 200 and 800 points. However, during the exam itself, they are entirely separate. You will have 35 minutes to answer the 44 multiple choice questions on the Writing and Language section. These questions will evaluate your skill with grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, analysis, and use of context in determining the meaning of words and phrases. In the Reading section of the test, you will have 65 minutes to answer 52 questions which will assess your reasoning and reading comprehension skills.
The Math Section of the SAT score is also derived from two separate sections. For both sections, you will have a total of 80 minutes to answer 58 multiple choice questions which will measure your analytical and problem-solving skills, algebraic skills, and capacity to recognize and solve mathematical expressions. One part of the Math section you are allowed the use of a calculator, and for the other, you are not.
What are some of the benefits of taking a Cincinnati SAT prep course?
By enrolling in an SAT course, you ensure you will have the opportunity to review all of the skills covered on the SAT systematically. This is perfect for anyone who wants to make sure they are entirely comfortable with the content. Each of the classes is divided into individual sections that cover a variety of skills and subject areas. New sections begin each week which makes it easy to start when you're ready and find the next session you need.
You will attend your course in a secure online classroom. This digital classroom experience is similar to the school environment to which you are accustomed. A teacher will deliver instructional content to the entire class and may then work with students individually to answer questions, encourage group discussions, or have students work together cooperatively to gain a deeper understanding of a particular topic.
Depending on your schedule and the time you have to devote to your preparation efforts, you can choose to attend two-week or four-week courses. With either option, you will have many opportunities to receive a comprehensive review for your upcoming SAT.
How is working with a Cincinnati SAT tutor different from taking a class?
If you have a hectic schedule filled with studying for your classes, extracurricular activities, family obligations, and possibly even work, you may think there is no way to fit another class in and maintain your responsibilities in other areas of your life. Unfortunately, classes are not scheduled with the needs of individual students in mind. Your scheduling needs are one of the most important factors at play when you work with a personal instructor. You can schedule your sessions at a time that is most convenient for you. Whether you want to meet with a tutor in the morning, afternoon, or evening on weekends or throughout the week, you will have many opportunities to find a time that works for your scheduling needs.
When you work directly with a private tutor, you receive more personalized instruction than is possible in a Cincinnati SAT prep class. A class instructor must work systematically through a prescribed curriculum. They must also make time to answer individual student questions. While they will have time to answer your questions, they will not be able to spend extensive periods working independently with you. When you work with a private instructor, all of their time is focused on you and what you need to work towards your SAT goals.
Personal tutoring allows you to receive instruction that is specifically designed with your learning style and academic needs in mind. Instead of spending time reviewing content you've already mastered, you can focus exclusively on those areas which are more challenging for you. This type of personalized instruction is ideal for anyone who knows they are only week in a few areas or who thrives in one-on-one instructional situations.
How can I get started with Cincinnati SAT prep?
Varsity Tutors can help you find the right Cincinnati SAT prep solution for your academic needs swiftly and with ease. Whether you want a comprehensive review that encompasses all facets of the SAT or you crave the personal attention provided by working with a private tutor, there are many options available to help meet your specific requirements. If you're ready to get started with your Cincinnati SAT preparation efforts, contact Varsity Tutors today.

Monica: Cincinnati SAT test prep instructor
...motivated to build your confidence and success in a variety of subject areas! I am a recent graduate of Miami University with a degree in psychology. In August, I will begin pursuing a doctorate degree in physical therapy at Washington University of St. Louis. I have tutored for several years and specialize in the following topic areas: standardized tests (including the GRE), math, biology and general sciences, psychology, Spanish, and overall study skills.... I think too much emphasis is placed on whether or not we are "good" or "smart" in a certain subject rather than the reality that it is simply about putting in the work and taking the time to understand something. We aren't born knowing how glycolysis works or how to factor an algebraic equation, and we simply have to work to get the information into our brains. My teaching philosophy is about keeping students motivated and confident about their learning skills, and as a result they will be able to tackle whatever assignments or tests that may come their way. I take a positive and optimistic teaching approach, making learning as engaging and as applicable as I can, and catering the lesson to the specific student and their interests. I stay extremely patient for each student in order for them to stay patient with themselves and remain confident.
