SYLLABUS

What This Bootcamp Is — and Why It Works

This isn't a slow review of English class material. The SAT Reading & Writing 1-Week Bootcamp is a focused, fast-moving sprint through everything the SAT actually tests — built around the specific question types, passage styles, and grammar rules that appear on the real exam. Students leave each session with concrete techniques they can apply immediately, not just background knowledge. The course is ideal for students who are two to eight weeks out from their test date and want to sharpen every edge they have.

Grammar and Punctuation: The Rules That Matter Most

A significant portion of the SAT Writing section tests a surprisingly tight set of grammar and punctuation rules. In this bootcamp, students zero in on exactly those rules: subject-verb agreement (especially with tricky intervening phrases), pronoun-antecedent agreement, verb tense consistency, and the correct use of commas, semicolons, colons, and dashes. Rather than reviewing every grammar rule in existence, students learn to recognize the patterns the SAT returns to again and again — and practice applying those rules directly in passage-based editing questions.

Reading Comprehension: Active, Strategic, and Fast

SAT reading passages span literature, history, social science, and science — and each genre demands a slightly different approach. Students learn active reading techniques like annotating for main idea, tracking the author's purpose, and flagging key details as they read, so they're not hunting through the passage cold when questions come. The course covers the full range of comprehension question types: main idea, vocabulary in context, author's purpose, inference, and more. The goal isn't to read faster — it's to read smarter, so every second spent in a passage pays off.

Inference and Command of Evidence: The High-Value Question Types

Inference questions and command-of-evidence questions are among the most frequently tested — and most frequently missed — on the SAT. This bootcamp dedicates focused attention to both. Students practice drawing logical conclusions anchored in textual evidence, distinguishing between what a passage explicitly states and what it implies, and evaluating which pieces of evidence actually support a given claim. These skills don't just help on the SAT — they build the kind of analytical reading that pays off in college coursework too.

Trap Avoidance, Pacing, and Test-Day Confidence

Knowing the content is only half the battle. The other half is executing under pressure — and that means knowing how to pace yourself, how to spot a trap answer before it lures you in, and how to make smart decisions when you're not 100% sure. Students in this bootcamp learn a question-triage approach to time management, specific red flags that signal a distractor answer, and process-of-elimination techniques that work even on the hardest questions. By the end of the week, students don't just know more — they test better.
