"Today I asked the student to transfer his answers to a scantron to more accurately simulate the actual testing conditions. The vocabulary in the synonyms continues to be an issue for him, but other than that I think he's prepared. He did well on the math questions and reading questions in this session. I tried to reinforce certain vocabulary words by using them in context and it appeared that the student had them memorized by the end of the session."

"The student and I started a set of division flash cards. For the most part her skills are strong, so we are doing a lot of practice problems so that she can get comfortable with the types of questions that will be on the test. We will continue to practice division and multiplication as well. "

"We focused on analogies this session. We reviewed the ones the student was having trouble with - mostly the more abstract relationships. We also worked through some math and reading, which I'm seeing improvement on. "

"The student and I met in the building where she lives. She brought a practice test book that we used for the session. She had previously worked on some math problems, and so we began with these. We practiced and reviewed vocabulary terms, the order of operations, and negative numbers. After this, I explained analogies to her. She then completed a section of 20 questions, and we corrected these afterwards. The final topic that we covered was the Reading section. We read through a passage and I helped her find the main topics in each paragraph. I discussed my next meeting with the student's mother, and we set up a time for Tuesday evening. She has practice sets from all three sections that we covered to work on before the next meeting. The largest area for improvement is in vocabulary terms for the verbal and reading sections. "

"Today we did a comprehensive review on basic math concepts. It seems as if the student understands the concepts but has trouble identifying them when presented in a different format. I will keep working on this skill and until then I have assigned him the usual homework."

"The student completed her homework and had a great handle on the multiples of 25 and 15. She had also reviewed her vocabulary and was doing great at matching up the synonyms. We started working on word problems concerning fractions and decimals. She had no trouble with most of the problems. I think the key to her success on the test may be focusing on getting her to work on looking logically at problems to figure out the quickest way to solve them. I decided to give her only vocabulary and synonym homework for the night and let her take a break from the math this week."

"The session with the student went very well. We went over the homework and I noted that he is improving in analogies. This is wonderful but practice makes perfect. Our primary focus will always be math. It's the conceptual understanding of a question versus the logical solution to it that I will target with him. I left him homework accordingly on both the verbal and math (as mentioned on my previous notes he is stellar in reading so I do not assign him homework on this). "

"Today, we went over the format, timing, and scoring of the SAT exam in details. Then we finished the essay the student started in the last session. Then I assigned him an essay from a past exam - going through the length and time frames as well. After that we tackled the comprehension section of the SAT test, which was timed. I left him with a few tips on time management for that section and reiterated, in SAT, time management contributes to 80% of the success. "

"The student and I began with some practice problems adding and multiplying fractions, which he was very comfortable with. We then moved on to working with solving algebraic expressions (i.e. 3x-5=12), which he was not familiar with, but seemed to gain a better understanding of as we did more examples. I would like to continue with further examples in future sessions. We then moved on to sample math exam problems and worked through those, focusing on the different math principles required to solve them, as well as strategies to solve word problems. "

"Each of the girls went through the SSAT practice exam I from the study book. They worked through that within the time allowed and had good pacing and focus. The quantitative section gave them a bit more difficulty. They said they guessed a lot, so we will definitely focus on the math section for future tutoring sessions. We finished with the reading comprehension section which I cut a little shorter than the practice exam called for since it was such a long section. They seemed to do okay; however, Student A had a little difficulty reading through all the passages in the time. We will work on some strategies to effectively use time and complete the test sections. The girls are very lively. I will review their scores and I am sure we can overcome some of their worries. I also gave them a reading list of books to choose from that may help with vocabulary and reading comprehension. "

"Today, we discussed angles (from school lesson), reading comprehension, pronunciation and definitions of vocabulary in the reading passages."

"The student and I worked on math (reviewing and learning new concepts) and started to learn test specific vocab. "
