"The student completed Test 10 and started Test 4 for homework. She did moderately well on Test 10 and extremely well on the sections she worked on from Test 4. Reviewed functions and geometry again, which are her only weak points in math, so she should score at least in the mid 600s on the real test. She asked several insightful questions about grammar, so I think all the grammar concepts are really starting to become second-nature for the student. She's definitely capable of scoring much higher on this section because once she knows what the words mean, she can apply logic to get the sentence completions correct. Even more impressively, she gets the majority of tone and inference questions from the reading comprehension correct after I define the words for her."

"The student and I primarily focused on vocabulary during this session. We worked out of an SAT vocab text, discussing the meaning and context of vocabulary words. We also completed several quizzes to check her understanding; in future weeks we will work on her English homework and reading comprehension, in addition to continuing to master vocabulary."

"Today was a very fruitful session. The student reported that the test was fine and that she feels she did better than she did on the June administration. The student was in good spirits today and energized for the session. We reviewed and practiced sentence improvement and sentence completion questions. The student got the majority of the questions correct and demonstrated improved Process-of-Elimination abilities."

"We scored the practice SAT that the student took. She did very well. We read about the tips and techniques the SAT guide offers for the math section, and then went over the questions she missed in math sections in the practice test. She got a lot of them the second time around, and understood the trickier questions by the time we worked through them. "

"Today we drilled for the Critical Reading section. We reviewed vocabulary and passage-based reading. The plan is for the student to study 30 vocabulary words at a time and to complete quizzes based on the vocabulary during sessions. No concerns to report. I left the vocabulary exercise as extra practice."

"In this session, the student and I began by reviewing the math problems that she completed for homework. She is doing very well on the math section. Next, she learned a new strategy for solving sentence completion problems. We completed a number of practice problems together, and she picked up this strategy very quickly. After this, she learned a new strategy for improving sentences problems. We completed practice problems together, and she did an excellent job on these. For homework, she will complete all of the math problems, sentence completion problems, and improving sentences problems in Practice Test #3. In our next session, we will review this homework and work on strategies for the rest of the grammar multiple choice."

"Both students and I reviewed algebra and functions content, looking specifically at areas that the boys felt they needed to review. To this end, we covered absolute value, word problems, and converting written language to mathematical equations. We also looked at several A&F sample problems and talked over how to approach them by identifying what we needed to find and the base information that we already knew. To close this session, we covered passage-based reading, talking about strategies to help find answers to the different PBR question types. If they have time, the boys will complete several timed practice sections, primarily a math section, since this is the area they are most concerned about. "

"We went through the practice exam I assigned her, she didn't do as well as expected but we went in and addressed her errors. Most of them were minor errors due to misreading. She is capable. However due to her exam coming up very soon, I decided to intensify our exam schedule (increase the workload). I look forward to her progress as the exam date approaches."

"Using the test prep book, we began going through the math concepts tested on the admissions test. The students remembered a lot of the math concepts already, and even ones which they had forgotten at first, they were able to pick back up again quickly. We covered prime numbers, factors, prime factors, exponents, square roots, order of operations, and negative numbers. We spent the most time working on using FOIL and adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators. The first student's most difficult area seemed to be working with negative numbers, and the other student's most difficult area seemed to be finding common denominators. Both students improved with practice. Next session we will spend more time with fractions, and I have asked them to review page 156-162 in the prep book. "

"We began this session by reviewing the practice section I had assigned for homework. Much like last session, we then used the reminder of our time for exam-like practice. The student wrote an essay, and then undertook a practice section. This Saturday we are planning on taking a second full practice exam - I am hopeful that, with all of the positive signs from the last few sessions, that this will yield another!"

"The student and I went over the math test that she completed. She only did the first 2/3 of a section but performed quite well. We worked on the medium and hard questions together and she seemed to get a pretty good grasp. I gave her some general strategies to use for geometry questions and I also spent some time trying to get her more comfortable with substitution and solving linear equations. "
