Recent Arlington Heights Tutoring Session Notes

I answered their questions they had from the problems they got wrong on the practice test. I discussed the Ten Major SAT Math Traps and how to avoid them. Then we looked at problems that have the math traps and discussed how to avoid the trap and solve the problem. They had great attitudes about learning about the traps. I gave them more problems to practice on at home this week.

I think he's very prepared for his test.
