PSAT Prep Math, Reading, and Writing

SAT Skills 
The first 15 minutes of each lesson is dedicated to honing what we refer to as "SAT Skills." This targeted segment aims to enhance students' test acumen, allowing them to strategically navigate the test and comprehend its nuances. By delving into the intricacies of the exam, students will not only bolster their understanding but also cultivate the confidence essential for success.

Digital Tools
It's crucial to guarantee that students are at ease with the digital interface employed in the SAT. While signing in to the Bluebook app won't be necessary during these sessions, I've incorporated digital tutorials into the lessons. These tutorials are designed to instruct students on tool usage and motivate them to further explore and familiarize themselves independently outside of class.

We will cover reading and writing on Mondays/Tuesdays and math on Wednesdays/Thursdays. Saturday classes will be both sessions with a break in between. *The PSAT only covers Math up to Algebra 1.
