This 8-week SAT prep course is built for high school students who are serious about raising their scores and walking into test day with a real game plan. Over eight live sessions, students tackle every major section of the digital SAT — math, reading, and writing — while learning battle-tested strategies like "pick a number," backsolving, and 3D reading comprehension that turn tricky questions into manageable ones. The course also demystifies how the adaptive digital SAT is scored, so students understand exactly what's at stake on every question. By the final session, students leave with sharper skills, stronger time management, and the confidence to hit their target score.
SAT Strategy and Study Habits Learn how the adaptive digital SAT is scored and how each section's two modules work, then build the habits that raise scores: using answer choices to your advantage, spotting trap answers, getting "unstuck," managing your time, and learning from every mistake and practice test.
Math Foundations Become fluent with factors and multiples, ratios and percentages, properties of numbers, common calculations, and the built-in Desmos calculator.
Reading Questions Develop proactive strategies for main purpose, function, comparing viewpoints, evidence and conclusions, and the other reading comprehension questions on the SAT.
Algebra Sharpen the commonly tested algebra skills, including equations and inequalities, quadratics and polynomials, and exponents and roots, along with critical shortcuts like backsolving, picking numbers, and using Desmos.
Grammar, Transitions & Vocabulary Learn the core grammar rules the SAT tests, choose the right transition between ideas, tackle "student notes" synthesis questions, and decode vocabulary in context quickly and confidently.
Word Problems Break down the common structures of SAT word problems, with key strategies for setting them up, backsolving, and avoiding trap answers.
Data & Statistics Review the rules, formulas, and graph-reading skills you need for probability, statistics, and chart, table, and graph questions.
Geometry & Trigonometry Learn the rules and how to apply them to triangles, circles, polygons, angles, geometric solids, and the coordinate plane.
