Maximizing Your SAT Success: Tips and Strategies for a Better Test Experience

Passing the SAT is a significant accomplishment for many students. To achieve this, it's important to understand the test and its intricate details. Here are some essential tips and goals to help you prepare for the exam:

*Recognize that the College Board has its own set of rules that differ from high school tests.
*Acknowledge that conventions of standard English are used in usage or punctuation, not sound, which may be quite different from what schools teach.
*Practice math skills by completing practice assignments that are similar to the SAT math questions.
*Learn time-saving strategies to help you make the most of your time during the exam.
*Increase reading comprehension and distinguish between interpretation and factual content
*Acquire grammar and punctuation skills that will benefit you in future job-seeking and college preparation.
*Practice math skills that will assist in current and future math courses from pre-algebra up to certain aspects of geometry and trig

Homework Offered
Homework is ultimately optional. With that being said, I highly encourage parents to make sure learners are looking over this information. The one thing I get upset over is when a student has been in class for a while and is not remembering the information, but they have yet to pick up one of my notes and read it.
Assessments Offered
On occasion, I may give a quiz when I feel I need to see what the students are retaining so I know what I need to review. I will check their answers. Parents will be made aware if I feel the learner isn't spending any time outside of class working on the notes.
Grades Offered
Just keep watch on handouts in the classroom. Download or save them when I send them. Physical copies are handy, easy to have in class to refer to. Always have paper and pen handy. A basic calculator should be handy for some problems.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Parental Guidance - I take real SAT questions from the College Board.
Everything is age-appropriate.
Khan Academy- use for concepts
YouTube videos- I insert them in my slides so I have control over them. Links to others may be posted in the classroom, but will be about concepts related to subject matter.
