Students will be taught to catch their mistakes on the SAT/ACT exam and improve their scores at least 100-400 points. They will learn how to improve their speed on the test by focusing on the content of the readings and of the math. If requested, we will also learn and practice SAT II Subject tests. These have been outmoded by the college board, but the skills are still useful for students. I will provide all tips necessary to get a perfect score, but it is up to the student to earn this. The difference between a 1400 and a 1600 (or a 28 and a 36 on the ACT) is often just four or five trivial mistakes on a few questions. Higher scores are to be expected but a 1600 cannot be guaranteed. The goal is to make the students think for themselves and use their own aptitude to find the right answers as fast as possible. 

I have taught SAT/ACT/GRE test prep for 19 years and am very experienced.

Here's some recent reviews I received shared with permission of the parents:

Dear Mr. Maltz,

I am writing to express my gratitude for the SAT lessons you provided to my son, Eric. About two years ago, he enrolled in your lessons on Outschool, exclusively choosing your guidance for SAT preparation. His first SAT was the Digital SAT in November 2023, and astonishingly, he achieved a perfect score. Upon hearing the good news, the first thing he shared with me was how invaluable Dr. Maltz's lessons had been.

I sincerely appreciate your effective instruction and guidance. Your teaching has made a significant impact, and we feel fortunate to have crossed paths with such an excellent educator.

Sincerely,
Rebecca H. 11/28/23

My son scored a 1390 (720 Math, 670 English) on the paper SAT last fall, and while I think that is an awesome score, I wanted him to have some training in strategies for taking the test as well as some support in content knowledge for English so that he could work to his best ability on the SAT when he took it this past spring. After taking several weeks of classes from Mr. Maltz, he took the digital SAT in March and scored a 1510 (780 Math, 730 English)! I was so happy for him. I am grateful to Mr. Maltz for creating an effective and affordable class to help my son do his best on the SAT.

Homework
Frequency: included
Feedback: included
Details: Homework is optional. I give every student at least one mock SAT to practice with. I also give weekly homework with 90-120 questions for the student to practice with upon request. Upon request, I give the students more tests so they can practice with as much test material they think necessary. Just contact me. Each question should take 1 minute to solve and should be done at one's own pace. Answers are provided in the homework. I suggest people spend 30 minutes of practice at a time with the homework each day. Learners will do the homework in order to practice and ask questions for review.
Assessment
Frequency: included
Details: Students can practice with a mock SAT test I provide on request. They should see if there's an improvement. Let me know where any shortcomings are so we can address them as a class.
