Irvine SAT Tutoring FAQ
You're about to graduate high school, and you're preparing college application packets. You have to take a college entrance exam, so you've decided to take the SAT, since it is the most widely accepted standardized test of its kind. This college entrance exam takes three hours and 50 minutes to complete, and it has two basic sections - critical reading and writing and mathematics - worth 800 points total, each. The combined score on both sections is your score, and the highest possible score is 1600. You want to get your best possible score on the SAT because that might help you get into top colleges and universities anywhere in the country, and it can also help you get scholarships. You can get help preparing for your SAT. Contact Varsity Tutors' educational directors for help connecting with SAT tutors near Irvine, CA.
An experienced SAT tutor in Irvine can present you with multiple teaching approaches until they find the one that works best for you. When you contact Varsity Tutors, our educational directors will gather information about your needs, your skills, and your personality. When a tutor understands who you are as a person, they will be better able to create a tutoring plan that offers the best study tools and supplemental material. We will also help you find a tutor who is available around your schedule, from any location, including online. With that level of convenience and flexibility, you know you will get regular tutoring sessions, in a distraction-free and comfortable environment.
The two SAT sections examine your understanding of skills that are fundamental to every career. However, most students are stronger in one area than the other. Working with a professional SAT tutor can enhance the subject you are stronger in and also help you gain strength in your weaker subject. For example, if you have a difficult time with math formulas, algebraic equations, or trigonometry, your tutor could help you learn necessary equations and apply them to problems. If you find essay-writing or vocabulary more difficult, your tutor can try to help you learn to structure an essay with an outline, create a defensible thesis, or learn vocabulary words using context clues.
