"Today, we went over the two full length tests that the student took. Afterwards, we went over some of the math concepts covered in the test prep book. In addition, I created problems that most students struggled in, such as converting decimals to fractions and percentages; working with radicals; certain types of word problems. I created a homework schedule for this week as well."

"The student and I reviewed SSAT math solving techniques (picking numbers) and then worked on verbal analogy strategies and vocabulary. We also went over her achievement test math review sheet for school."

"Our final session! The student is in great shape. She had done well with her verbal and quantitative practice sessions. In reviewing the quantitative section, she saw that often she had given up while she had been on the right track. I was especially impressed with her verbal section--she had made many educated guesses that had paid off. We spent the session reviewing the sections of the test. We discussed the problems that gave her the most trouble, in the quantitative section and the strategies that she has developed. We did a couple of reading comprehension samples which she handled very well. We then reviewed tips, tricks, and pitfalls for the verbal section and the essay. I am very proud of the work that she has done and excited to hear how her test goes this weekend! If nothing else, I believe that she will go in with confidence and be able to demonstrate her true potential."

"I reviewed the parts of the test and time limits. Then we reviewed the worksheet I made him for the different strategies for each of the test parts. He said he found that very helpful, and that while looking up the fill in the blank he found other helpful tips. Then we reviewed his answers from the last sections of the practice test. He was an excellent student and said that he found the vocabulary review we have done helpful in his classes. "

"The student and I went over the English grammar portion of a practice SAT test this time. I know a lot of time-saving tricks for answering test questions relating to English. The biggest point that we hit on was that whenever the test was asking an interpretation question as opposed to a straight up grammar question, it was important not to settle on the first answer option that seemed viable. Rather, you have to read through all of them and see which one is the most viable. She definitely learned a thing or two about interpreting the question and paying attention to context. Ultimately, I feel like the biggest thing she could work on in that subject would be to not jump to conclusions and slowly consider whether an answer sounds right to her, taking advantage of her native English speaker status.
