PARCC Tutoring FAQ
The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) exams test students multiple times over the course of each academic year, in grades three through eleven, in order to evaluate how their progress in math and English language arts measures up against the Common Core State Standards. The results of PARCC exams can be used by educators to diagnose areas in which remedial attention may benefit a particular student, to help him or her gain the skills that they will need in college classes or in a professional working environment. Thus, the results of the PARCC can have huge consequences for your child's educational experience. Test anxiety or the computer-based standardized format of many PARCC exams may present obstacles to your student and prevent him or her from demonstrating the knowledge and skills they have gained.
If you'd like to provide your child with a personal, experienced tutor to help improve their performance on the exam, individual PARCC tutoring may help you do so. Varsity Tutors understands that each person is a unique student, and is eager to help your child find someone who is best suited for their academic needs. Your tutor will custom-tailor your child's lessons in order to efficiently address their specific strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, your child will benefit from a completely customizable learning program that allows you to dictate the pace of every lesson. Unlike classroom-based learning, where the teacher has to manage a room full of students, your child's tutor is dedicated to fulfilling only the needs of your individual student. This means that you are able to slow down the pace covering problematic content, making sure that your child has an understanding of various concepts. On the other hand, you can completely skip material that your child understands, so that precious time isn't wasted covering content that he or she has already mastered.

Recent PARCC Tutoring Session Notes
Today we reviewed an essay the student had written since our last session and went through the Verbal, Quantitative, and Math sections of the exam. The student wrote an interesting essay. We went through ways that she could have easily connected her main points to supporting evidence. She had a great use of vocabulary throughout her essay as well. From this, it is no surprise that she did very well in the verbal section of the test. The student is adept at puzzling out the definitions of words she is unfamiliar with. She struggled slightly with some of the Quantitative questions, but after review she seemed to have a better grasp of the approach to solving these types of problems.

The students worked on a practice drill consisting of 15 problems, ratios (4 problems), and averages (4 problems). They also worked on synonyms and how to guess the meaning of a word from context, positive/negative, and/or stem word. They developed their own definitions and then applied the techniques to Practice Drill 3 (20 synonyms), Practice Drill 5 (10 synonyms), and practice Drill 7 (20 synonyms). They began Practice Drill 9 (30 synonyms), and will complete as homework.

Sample Essay prompts incorporated into writing session. Worked on use of clear, concise language and proper sentence structure. Development of introductory paragraph and supporting arguments was the focus of the lesson. Tested the student on a Sentence Completion section; time management and number correct show improvement.

The student is showing continual improvements, bumping her English to a 28 and her math to a 31 (yay!). We worked through the questions she had missed and talked through them more broadly so she could apply them to other problems in future tests. She is really getting the hang of things, and just needs to put a bit more effort into remembering equations and re-working the longer reading-like English questions.

Focused on sentence completion and intro to passage-based questions (SAT Critical Reading section). Student 1 set his final score goal at 1800 and Student 2 set hers at 1600. When working on sentence completions, Student 1 said his confidence with this type of question was a 4 and Student 2 said hers was a 3 (on a 1-10) scale. By the end of the session, Student 1 said he was at a 7 and Student 2 was at a 6. They have been emailed with practice problems for sentence completion and passages, and asked to complete a timed SAT practice test before our next meeting.

Today, the student and I went over some of the challenges we ran across after he completed his second Science and second Writing sections. Science seems to be a strong point for the student, who scored high on his first attempt. He could, however, improve slightly on his essay. His argument and structure are still clear and well-established, but he still needs to save time to go back and check for grammatical errors once he has finished writing. As the essay factors into his English section score, it is crucial that the student scores well on his writing. We also worked on vocabulary flashcards to help expand the variety of words he uses in his essays. Overall, he is making impressive and quick improvements in both the Science and Writing sections.
