"After doing a general review of the math portion of the test last week, today we hunkered down and focused on algebra, negative numbers and the distributive property. I had the student do a series of problems with increasing complexity to determine where his problem areas were. By the end of the session, he was much more comfortable, but he still had a little trouble with division in algebra problems. Next week, we are going to go over some word problems, then begin our focus on the writing section of the test."

"We went over acid-base chemistry, Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, Buffers & titration curves, as well as the characteristics of amino acids, including the isoelectric constants. We went through the notes together, but my goal is for the material to be reviewed slightly more before the tutorial sessions in order to have a Q&A session/analyzing problem sets. "

"I met with the student, and we discussed proofs and congruent angles in geometry. The student didn't have too many struggles just on a few problems on proofs and the concepts of congruent angles. She was very excited that she understood the concepts after we finished up the session. Since she had a great foundation of the material, she also had homework problems that she was working on so no need to assign extra. She mentioned her quiz is every Friday. I believe this Friday she will be well prepared for her geometry concepts."

"We worked on graphing linear equations. We did this from standard form, point-slope form, and slope-intercept form. We also practiced some tough balancing equations in chemistry. The student is starting to become pretty comfortable with both of these topics."

"The student's homework assignment was light due to the holiday weekend. We reviewed his next assignment and covered hyperbolas, foci, vertices, asymptotes, and graphing. "

"Today the session covered the initial lessons of gases. We began by doing problems that focused on defining pressure as force over area. We also talked about the kinetic molecular theory of gases. Then, we moved on to learning about barometer and manometers, as well as converting among different gas pressure units--atm, mmHg, torr, and Pascal. Then, we moved on to calculations with Charle's law, Boyle's law, and Gay-Lussac's law on relationships among pressure, volume, and temperature. The student, as always, understand all the concepts well and quickly, and we completed our session earlier than expected."

"We reviewed the work the student's did at home. We spent some time reviewing the different questions types on the reading section. She worked through a set of practice questions and we went over her wrong answers and discussed why they were wrong and how to choose the correct answer the next time. She is pretty strong in the reading section and I think this will probably be her strongest section on the actual test. We will continue to work on mastering a couple of the question types that she is having trouble with, specifically the "except" questions and the summary questions. We also worked on the writing section focusing on planning her answers and using the time effectively. She needs to work on coming up with well-developed examples and organizing her thoughts effectively. Before the next session, she will finish reading the chapter on core skills: reading and prepare one timed writing sample based on a prompt I gave her."

"The student and I worked through his final review before the test tomorrow. We concentrated on solving tension problems - finding the magnitude of a vector and then converting it into component form in particular - and on solving trigonometric equations. We especially practiced finding all the solutions to trig equations in general form and in the interval 0-2pi. I think he is very well prepared for his test."

"The student and I continued doing subject/ verb agreement material in her workbook by completing two new exercises and finishing one from the previous session. These exercises included agreement using various subjects like I, he, she, singular and plural nouns, and finally using proper nouns. "

"We reviewed over the repeated measures design for the ANOVA one way test. The test is very similar to the independent measures test, except one small tweak in the formula for the F-Ratio. We went over the formulas, then did an example problem from the text. The student did very well with the problem and she has a good understanding of the test. "

"The student and I had a great session! We worked on a lot of subtraction, some fractions, and some addition. She has definitely been improving her speed with solving subtraction problems. We will continue to work on that in her next sessions. She did a great job of staying focused and is excited to learn!"
