The student and I reviewed for her Calculus test tomorrow. She worked on evaluating limits numerically, graphically, and analytically. We also talked about properties of limits and how to use them to evaluate difficult limits. Finally, we talked about discontinuities - removable (holes) and non-removable (asymptotes and jumps). She learned how to identify them both algebraically and graphically.

The student and I did practice problems in sentence completion and reading passages for the SAT. We went over problems that he missed, and I covered some test taking skills. We focused on how to find key words in sentence completion problems, how to eliminate wrong answers, and how to pick out the important themes in reading passages. I suggested that he make vocabulary flash cards with the words we encountered that he didn't know already. We scheduled to meet next on Thursday, September 27th.
