Session Summaries by SAT Tutors

We went over reading comprehension today. There were some issues with inference questions and we talked about strategies to deal with those. Towards the end of the session though, he was getting more of the questions correct and seemed more confident in his answers. One thing we talked specifically about was being able to find direct support for your answer in the passage - this is something we will continue to practice next session. Also for next time we're going to look at some of the more difficult math problems.

We focused on the Math section of the SAT, drilling down on Algebra problems. We practiced setting up equations from word problems and various algebraic manipulations to solve for an unknown variable. The student has a pretty good grasp of the material and can usually solve the equation once it is set up, and we will continue to work on setting up those equations. She will do Math and Reading practice problems before our next session, during which we will focus on Critical Reading problems.

This was our first session covering the SAT, and I outlined differences in the test and test-taking strategies between the SAT and the ACT. We covered the practice exam that the student had taken last year. We also discussed her target scores and how to achieve these goals.

The student had recently taken a practice SAT and wanted to go over the questions she had missed on it in this session. Her scores show a lot of progress in her preparation, with her scoring well into the 1900-range. Given that this seems to have been in an environment more like she would encounter on test day, I am inclined to say she will probably perform equally well on the actual test. In general, she is showing great progress on some of the issues we identified in previous sessions such as her reluctance to choose "No error" answers in the writing section. We managed to go through the questions she had missed or skipped in the critical reading and writing sections, and it seems the questions that she's missing at this point are higher difficulty questions. She's also making judicious use of her ability to skip questions, which will keep her from losing points through the guessing penalty.

Today we focused entirely on the Verbal and Reading Sections. Her ability to recognize errors in the Verbal section is very good. The student is very good at reading, comprehending, and retaining the information in the critical reading passages.

The student and I began working on his goal to raise his SAT score with some strategies for the math section. His calculation method is quite deliberate, so I am helping him circumvent lengthy calculation by learning to scrutinize the question and the answer choices, eliminating poor choices early on and minimizing time for each problem. When estimation is unsuitable, drawing a diagram or reducing a word problem to a clearer mathematical formula can cut down on time needed for calculating. Most of all, I recommended he look into getting a graphing calculator as it will drastically reduce confusion over answers that require translation between fractions, decimals, and percentages. I assigned the student a critical reading diagnostic test which we will review the results of at our next session and address potential tactics.
