Berkeley SAT Tutoring FAQ
We've all heard of the SAT, or Scholastic Assessment Test. It is a standardized exam that assesses verbal and mathematical skills in high school students preparing to enter college. Many colleges and universities use the SAT to help determine admission. The SAT was first instituted in 1926 and has gone through many changes and revisions since its initial creation. The most recent version of the SAT is made up of two sections: math and evidence-based reading and writing. The math portion tests basic competence in math, advanced concepts and applications in math, extended thinking skills, and ability to answer problems with multiple steps. The reading and writing portion is broken up into two subsections: a reading test and a writing and language test. These test vocabulary, reading comprehension, ability to draw conclusions and make connections, and writing skills. Varsity Tutors could help you find a skilled, independent tutor near Berkeley, CA, who can guide you on the path toward SAT understanding.
