"I met with the students for another session of admissions test tutoring. In this session we wrapped up working with a test prep book. They have improved by working with the book, which tends to be harder than the real test. Next week we will start working with real test questions as the two get closer to the test date. I also introduced them to a website that has a lot of short quizzes to help them prepare."

"The student and I went through some practice math sections for the admissions test. He had completed some math practice work prior to this session but he will bring it for our next meeting. We worked a lot on improving his speed on problems and he completed a practice session while I timed each individual question. We are working on strategies to improve his speed and to help him identify the correct way to approach a problem more quickly. He is making good progress. He will complete all of the math sections in a practice exam before our next meeting so that we can check his scores. "

"Today, I had the student do a lot of math practice. I guided her through a 18-question math section. For about half of the problems, she had no trouble doing without my assistance, but for the other half, she needed me to walk her through the problem-solving process. She got the hang of the problems she previously had difficulty with, and I think with continued focused practice, she has the potential to score above 650 in the math section of the test."

"The student completed two critical reading sections of a practice test last week for homework; we began this session by reviewing the correct answers along with his strategies for approaching different questions. We then completed the remaining critical reading sections (from practice test 1) one by one, correcting and discussing as we went. He scored a 710 overall, which is excellent. We did a few more practice questions and decided that improving his vocabulary will make a significant difference in his score. We began making a list of unfamiliar words and added definitions and sentences to aid his memory."

"Student attempted full reading section. This was our first time working a reading section in our tutoring sessions as this was her highest section score on the previous test she took. She scored a 36/40 which translates to a composite score of 34. We will continue to work on reading by stepping up gradually to the pace she needs to work at. Student then completed an essay. We took 10 minutes together to jointly talk about the prompt and map out her plan for the essay. Then she took 20 minutes to write with no input from me. This was her most successful essay to date and I would have scored it an 8 or a 9. She could improve by anticipating counterarguments and strengthening her conclusion."

"After a short hiatus, the student and I met again this morning. We intend to meet once a week for the next five weeks so that she has continuity until her test date in October. We reviewed different types of math problems from the past two practice tests she has taken. For next week, I will provide new practice problems for the areas we focused on--algebraic averages, line equations and slope intercept form, parallel and perpendicular lines, using the f(x) form for functions, and converting sentences into the appropriate algebraic expressions/equations. She will take another practice test and review math tips for our next meeting."

"For this lesson, the student and I went over the 2 Practice tests that he had completed. He remains consistent in scoring very well on the Reading, with only a few errors in the English, and having the most difficulty with the Math and Science. Most of his errors on the math and science, however, are small ones because of time issues so he will be working on that in the future. I have also advised him to skip questions that take him longer and come back to them to avoid some of these smaller errors. His essays remain very good content-wise. For the next lesson, he will be completing another practice test."

"Today we focused on the reading section which I think he struggles with the most. We discovered that reading the keywords of the questions before reading the passage is the best way for him to tackle this section because he reads faster and with more confidence if he knows what he is looking for. I also determined that the best way to get his target score is to spend 10 minutes for 3 passages and 5 minutes on the humanities section that he struggles with the most. He seemed to better understand that he needed to look directly to the passage in order to answer the questions instead of trying to come up with the answers through assumptions. I gave him the homework of completing another reading section before we meet again on Tuesday."

"The student and I worked mainly on math today. We reviewed several concepts and practiced taking notes for better recall (i.e. making a flowchart of the steps taken to solve a problem). We also practiced English a little bit. She's doing very well!"

"Today, the student and I started off with some reading comprehension. I went over the importance of marking up the passages-- circling or underlining key words and jotting quick notes. This helps her create a road map for when she goes back to answer questions. She likes to work fast, so marking it up wasn't entirely natural, but she was willing to try and did a very good job. Afterwards, we switched to math and did some mixed practice. She's excellent with straightforward evaluation questions, so we are focusing on multi-step questions, which can present a bit of a question mark for her at times. "

"Reviewed last weeks word list with matching definitions. Then covered the language section of the exam with punctuation, capitalization, spelling and usage. Student scored 48/50 questions correct! Then tackle various math problems and the student is showing a better understanding of percentages and decimals."

"We reviewed a practice test the student did for homework. He did very well on it, and we talked about some math concepts and general strategies for each section, since he had his first test soon."
