"We finished Reading homework by completing both a Prose and Humanities passage. The student got only one wrong and used strategies effectively. We also completed a review of Math concepts and formulas along with a few reminders for the English section."

"Today the student and I reviewed a lot of basic math concepts. We reviewed the rules for fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and proportions. We did several practice problems on the whiteboards and did quite a few word problems, like the problems the student will face on the assessment test. We also reviewed scientific notation and some radicals. I introduced the student to adding and subtracting radicals with the same values on the inside of the radical and multiplying and dividing radicals. Although we went over A LOT of material, I think the student is really absorbing all of what we do and she is really progressing. I think she will definitely be prepared for her test next week!"

"In this session, we reviewed how to name organic compounds and how to draw compounds given the name. In addition, we reviewed the general classes of organic molecules and the endings associated with each class of compound."

"The student and I first reviewed simple, compound, and complex sentences. I gave him a quick quiz on the material. Then, we worked on the rest of the section I had assigned him for HW. After we reviewed it, we spent a little time on science. I didn't assign HW because he has AP exams coming up."

"Today the student and I worked on probability of independent and dependent events. This was a basic concept and he understood it very well. In Chemistry we covered the ideal gas law, PV=nRT. "

"We continued to review for the student's chem final starting with a quantitative problem regarding vapor pressure as a function of temperature. We then discussed some problems on redox, writing out half reactions and identifying oxidizing/reducing agents. After that we reviewed writing net ionic equations and determining solubility trends. After completing a few problems the student got the hang of it and was better at predicting solubility."

"We spent time during our session talking about what the student has previously done with respect to MCAT preparation. We discussed her strengths (Biology, Verbal) and weaknesses (physics, general chemistry, organic chemistry). She did not take physics as an undergraduate, so we talked about how we will focus mostly on physics for now, and we set up a rigorous, regimented schedule for content review, leaving time for full-length test-taking prior to her MCAT. We then discussed what materials she has, what content she has reviewed on her own over the last few months, and I gave her homework for our next session. We spent the last bit of the session talking about circular motion, friction, and horizontal and vertical components of forces. She felt much better about forces in particular after I explained how important it can be to draw force diagrams and understand the trigonometry."

"The student and I worked on her reading comprehension. We read worksheets that I brought with me and she answered the questions following the passages. I challenged her to highlight the source of the answer in the reading before she answered the questions for the simpler ones and she was able to do so with no problem. For the less straightforward questions, we discussed the multiple places her conclusions came from."

"During this session the student and I worked on his Geometry review to prepare for the test that will be conducted the next day. We quickly went through it with no problem, so we then worked on vocabulary words that will be on his World History test. He soon aced those as well."

"The student showed me her preliminary entry exam scoring sheet, so I got an idea of her strengths and weaknesses in each section of the test. She generally did well on the easy and medium questions, but struggled on the harder ones, especially in math and writing. She also ran out of time on some sections. I used the official entry exam study guide as a resource and started showing her how to approach the more difficult math problems. I had to teach her the most common types of grammatical errors the exam covers in the writing section. She is a fast learner, so she should progress nicely over the course of the next 2 months."

"Topics Covered: ACT prep reading and science sections. Progress Achieved: The student now understands her mistakes on the practice test and can now use new testing strategies to answer more questions correctly."
