Varsity Tutors is a service that can help any student seeking assistance in studying for the SAT in Louisville. Joining a Louisville SAT prep course provides students with vast resources that can improve ability and confidence come test day. The SAT is a test designed to assess the potential for a student's success in college and career paths. If you are a student attending schools like DuPont Manual or Saint Xavier and wish to continue on to higher education, you might want to take this exam. Being prepared in advance sets you on the right path to performing well, and enrolling in a Louisville SAT class provided by Varsity Tutors is an excellent first step.
The SAT is a standardized test administered across the United States. It is comprised of three required sections: Math, Reading, and Writing & Language. There is also an optional SAT Essay. You can score anywhere from 400-1600 points on the test. Each student is given 3 hours to complete the required sections, which are filled with multiple choice questions, and an additional 50 minutes for the optional essay. It is important to remember that leaving answers blank on this test has no advantage. Only correct answers are scored, so offering a guess if you are unsure can be beneficial.

Varsity Tutors offers several prep classes that you can sign up for. Once you have joined, you will be placed in an online class with a qualified instructor. That teacher is there to assist students in maximizing their preparation, time, and focus before taking the SAT. For each class, you will join live sessions with other students and follow a typical classroom experience. Each instructor's goal is to try to make the language, format, and content of the test clear. By covering an overview of the scoring process and participating in practice tests, you can be better equipped for the SAT. Another benefit of being in a Louisville SAT course is the opportunity for group interaction with other students who are also looking to increase their skill and performance.

What does a Louisville SAT class cover?
Throughout your course, you will extensively cover the sections of the test as well as the types of questions you are likely to encounter. The first section is Math, and it consists of 58 questions you will need to complete in 80 minutes. This section has a scoring range of 200 to 800 points. Here you will be assessed in several content areas: Problem Solving & Data Analysis, Heart of Algebra, and Passport to Advanced Math. It is divided into two parts. In one you answer 38 questions with a calculator, and in the other, you answer 20 questions without the aid of a calculator. You must show a sense of math comprehension during this part of the test. You will need to solve problems quickly. You will also need to show that you can organize information accurately and strategically.
In the Reading section, you will have 65 minutes to complete 52 questions. Your score in this section is combined with Writing & Language to results in a score ranging from 200 to 800 points. You will be provided with multiple passages from a range of topics that you must read, examine, and evaluate. The reading material will consist of contemporary or classic literature, founding US documents, social science, and core scientific concepts. The structure of this section assesses your command of evidence and your ability to provide the basis for sound conclusions. You will need to show that you can identify the relationship between text and associated data. You also must show an understanding of the context of words and phrases while being able to analyze the information to draw inferences and accurate conclusions.
For the Writing and Language portion of the SAT, you a required to read given passages and answer 44 questions in 35 minutes. The score in this section is combined with your score in the Reading section. The material you must read could include charts, tables, and graphs. Scoring well here means you must show that you have a command of the evidence presented. You will be asked to improve the content of the material. You can do this by choosing relevant supporting details or sharpening claims made in the argument from your answer choices. You should be demonstrating a command of syntax by providing suggestions that improve the word choices, style, and tone of the excerpt. You will also be asked to show you can identify ways to improve clauses, punctuation, and sentence structure.
Lastly, you are given the option to complete the SAT Essay in an additional 50 minutes. Once you have read the provided prompt, you will be tasked with evaluating the author's argument. Examining the use of reasoning, the development of ideas, and persuasive elements that connect the claims made are assessed here. You will need to write an essay in response to the passage given. Be sure to use an appropriate style and tone as well as information from the reading as you assess the author's argument.

Even for questions that my students answered correctly, I ask students to explain to me why their chosen answer choices are correct - and often they are unable to do so, which provides the opportunity to expand understanding. At the end of every tutoring session, I do a recap - categorizing the types of mistakes they made and giving suggestions for strengthening those areas of weakness.
