"We practiced combining like terms over an equals sign, and talked about strategies for solving difficult long division problems. Then we worked through the problem solving section, emphasizing that she knew how to do almost all the problems. She was also very well prepared with her vocabulary this week."

"The student and I met for our final session in preparation for this Saturday's assessment test. We did some timed practice and review. I suggested she review some of the language and reading before Saturday. I think she'll do great!"

"At this point, we are simply reviewing all of the concepts we have learned, both math and verbal. The student is very close to being ready! Tomorrow will be his last day before the test. We will do a brief review of every topic discussed and go over any outlying questions."

"We covered how to solve word problems involving distance, rate, and time, as well as worked word problems. We went through a practice test for Math, methodically analyzing each problem. She has a very logical mind, so she did well. We did a timed verbal section of a practice test, which the student scored well on. She is very good at analogies and verbal logic.."

"The student and I had another productive session today, working on vocabulary questions, reading comprehension, and grammar. For the vocabulary questions we spent a bit of time going over roots and cognate words. His understanding of the reading comprehension answers is pretty strong. We spent the last 40 minutes or so working on grammar-related questions and made a lot of progress there. We discussed the perfect, past perfect, and future perfect tenses, pronoun forms, subject/object agreement, apostrophe usage, and some other grammatical issues. We will continue with grammar stuff in our session tomorrow afternoon."

"The student and I spent the first 2 hours of hour session covering the math and quantitative section. We discussed specific strategies, then did practice problems. For the last hour, we discussed strategy and did practice sets for the verbal, reading comprehension, and language sections of her exam. We mixed problems from a website with problems from her study guide. "

"In this session we covered more specifically some of the types of math problems that the student wanted to review - primarily simplifying complex fractions and handling numerous percentages at once. We then spent an hour on verbal skills and reading comprehension, so I could get a better idea of where his strengths lay with each section. His assigned homework for our next session was to complete an entire test diagnostic, which hasn't been done yet."

"For this session we covered information on Language skills for the test. The student had a book with practice questions and tests, so we went over a previous test he had taken to help him with test taking skills. I discussed how important it is to read the question and all of the answers before making a choice. We reviewed the most on synonyms and finding similarities and differences between groups of words. I helped him by discussing the importance of root words or other words that could be similar to the ones we discussed. I left him with approximately 40 practice questions to do on his own, and when I return next week we will discuss the answers. "

"The student had some mathematical questions for me. I addressed them specifically and had some test taking strategies for him to use for the test. He is doing very well; next time we will work on starting word problem type math equations."

"Today we went over all the sections of the test. We began with math and ended with math, since that is the subject on which the student wanted to improve the most. We reviewed the strategies for taking the test, reviewed grammar rules, measurements, vocabulary, and reading methods. The student has been studying for a while now, and she is able to execute the problems at a speed much faster than when we began tutoring. She has built confidence in every area of the test, and she continues to review vocabulary and math strategies."

"We covered the student's practice test 7 parts 2 and 4 (quantitative), with detailed discussion of question types and methodology, including problem-solving strategies to minimize calculations and discover the underlying mathematical concepts and logic. "
