Chicago Ridge SAT Subject Test in World History Tutoring FAQ
To succeed in world history, you must make use of your abilities in order to interpret an immense amount of granular historical information. You also have to derive meaning from it by comparing and contrasting events in order to synthesize insights about the more abstract trends, causal relationships, and global themes that make up the big picture of the subject. One way to emphasize these skills is by demonstrating mastery of them on the SAT Subject Test in World History. While many people choose to include a number of SAT Subject Test scores when applying, being able to put an impressive quantitative score on your world history skills can bolster any application. Boosting your chances of an excellent score with SAT Subject Test in World History tutoring may help make this challenge a little less difficult. In fact, excelling on this exam can be more challenging than you initially expect. It's the exam's job to differentiate between top students and rank them in relation to each other. This means that many of the questions found on the exam are extremely tough in order to rank the top performers among the very competitive pool of test-takers. After all, if all of the test's questions were easy and everyone did well, the test wouldn't be a reliable metric for colleges to rely on.
You have 60 minutes to answer 95 multiple-choice questions, which can present a challenge in itself. You have to understand pacing and format just as much as the material. It is possible to earn a great exam score with dedicated preparation, but such preparation often requires you to spend a great deal of time and energy locating high-quality resources with which to study and trying to figure out exactly what aspects of world history on which you should focus during review. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with one-on-one tutoring that can bring expertise and efficiency to your review process. These experienced instructors have all achieved great scores on this very exam, so they can help pinpoint precisely what skills you need to bolster and any gaps in your knowledge that you need to fill. Each session follows a learning plan custom-tailored to your specific academic needs, allowing your tutoring to be comprehensive, efficient, and low-stress. Since your tutor has been here before, they can effectively guide you along in preparing for the big test.
Your tutor can provide instant feedback on your work and answer any questions you may have about the material as they occur to you. Why waste time with other study resources that can't tailor your learning to your needs? Your SAT Subject Test in World History tutor will remove this hurdle and start with an assessment of what you do know. They'll then focus on material that you know less about, and track your progress using a variety of study materials, practice tests, and homework assignments. You will learn at your pace, instead of that of an entire class. The sessions can also be scheduled at your convenience. Classes and jobs take up much of our time, and your tutor understands that; they can be flexible as well, setting up meetings between or after classes, in the evening, or on the weekend. If you're comfortable being tutored in school, that's fine; if you'd rather work in the comfort of your own home, that can be arranged as well. Varsity Tutors' live learning platform also enables you to meet with your private tutor face-to-face online. This allows you to pick the time and location that is most convenient and comfortable for you.

Recent Chicago Ridge SAT Subject Test in World History Tutoring Session Notes
The last exam section was math. After she worked a practice test and we started to grade it, we saw that she needs to review concepts that have gotten rusty. I recommended picking up charts to see everything laid out for her, and we can select specific concepts to talk about from there.
Today the student and I began our session with examining the expectations and guidelines given to exam essay readers. After looking over the information I had her read 6 different essays and award them a score of 1-6. She did very well with giving similar scores to the readers, but found it a little difficult to articulate exactly why she gave them that particular score. We will continue to work on identifying ways to improve her writing and see the need to improve in other's writing. Today we focused mainly on the writing section of the test but spent some time on reading and writing. She still feels nervous with the " finding the error" questions, but she is definitely marking more correct answers than toward the beginning of our sessions. We are working on more strategies to help her comprehend reading, where she feels she is most challenged by the fiction passages. She feels most confident about math, but we are continuing to review more difficult concepts.
Worked with two students. Students were behind in outside-of-session work, so had them make, review, and quiz each other with flashcards for the first group of vocabulary words on the list given last week. Continued on explanations/reasoning of problems/solutions from reading section 5 from practice test 1.
I met with the student. We discussed and review his past test report. He completed a practice section of math and critical reading. We reviewed the correct answers. We created a plan to improve his overall performance in math and critical reading in time for his test in October.
Today's session showcased the student's best practice test to date. She missed between 2-5 questions per section in the exam. This would place her score safely in the 30s, often toward the top of this range. We will continue to work in time management to make these scores consistently repeatable.
I covered general test prep with her. I wanted to get a feel for what she was doing. Her biggest struggle is going to be time. With unlimited time her score would be close to perfect. I will spend most of my time with her on that issue.
