It’s All About Knowing the SAT

It’s not unusual for students who have taken our classes to increase their scores by 300 points or to crack the 2100 mark. The SAT’s big secret? The SAT is given seven times for year- and to maintain fairness, the exact same questions have to be given on every test! We know the 15 math questions that appear on every test, the 20 grammar questions that appear on every test, the traps, and the slippery attempts designed to draw students to the wrong answers. Scores go up when we show students how to spot the traps and help them to identify the skill sets they need to improve.

We have spent thousands of hours working with students and developing strategies to help them to succeed on the test. Our track record demonstrates just that. If you are not sure if the SAT is the right test for you consider taking The SAT/ACT Diagnostic to see if the ACT is a better choice.

How We Teach

For all aspects of this high-stakes exam, students are given instruction followed by individual and group practice. Instructors also administer quizzes and full-length practice sections of the SAT. This allows instructors to identify areas in which students need improvement and provides both instructors and students with . If students do not improve their scores it is because either did not ask enough questions or do enough homework.

In our course we use visual aids to supplement instruction. An example of these slides is
included blow. Since problems are diagrammed in advance, we can cover more material in class, and instructors don’t have their backs to the students while teaching.

We teach the test through the eyes of Jimmy and Jane, the two test makers who have made up all of the math and verbal questions on the test. On the first day of class students learn that the critical reading portion of the exam is an open book test, the text is the answer sheet. They learn how to use the 3-2 Method that we created, and just how to read SAT text. Students see that the answer is not inferred from what they think the text is saying, but rather exactly what the text has stated. Far too often, inferences lead students to wrong answers. Once students begin to look at the text through our SAT lens they realize that three of the five answers have little to do with the text they just completed. We then show them why the right answer is right and the wrong answer can’t be right, according to the test. They learn the test’s ins and outs and the importance of building vocabulary: 15 vocabulary words that lead students to the correct answers are the difference between 650 and 800.
