This is a self-paced course designed to help students prepare for the math section of the ACT and/or SAT. The course includes 7 lessons, each featuring a detailed video review on how to solve the various types of math problems seen on the exams. Lessons include a review of Basic Arithmetic, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, and Probability & Statistics. During the lessons, we will also cover test-taking strategies to help students work more efficiently through each problem, easing the pressure of time. Each lesson will be followed by a timed mini practice test to allow students to apply the problem-solving techniques covered in the lessons All questions are created by the teacher and adapted from real ACT and SAT math content. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COURSE IS SELF-PACED AND THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS. While this course does not have any live meetings, students will be able to access me through the Outschool messaging system with any further questions for up to a year after beginning the course.
