Learn to SHRED THE SAT with this engaging class on rates, ratios, and proportions.

This course keeps things light with a fun ski theme, but it will set you up for a serious score improvement.  

SHRED THE SAT - RATES, RATIOS, AND PROPORTIONS is designed to prepare students to do their best on the digital SAT by

Instructing on topics such as 
 - Understanding the significance of word order in these types of SAT math problems
 - Telling the difference between part-to-part and part-to-whole ratios
 - Using conversion factors
 - Avoiding traps when using conversion factors with square and cubic units
 - Mastering Distance = Rate x Time word problems
 - Discussing the best strategies for taking a multiple-choice test in a digital environment
 - Working through examples at all difficulty levels
 - Providing plenty of practice problems so students can build their experience and confidence
 - Working in a convenient self-paced format, so each student can work on their own timeline.

Lesson 1 of this class includes a series of instructional videos that teach the basic strategies of working with rates and ratios.  The videos contain multiple practice problems, so students cannot watch them passively.  The next 10 lessons include drills on this topic and are organized by difficulty.  Every single question has a video explanation created by an SAT tutor with more than 20 years of experience. 

Students who complete the full course as intended should expect to spend 1.5-2 hours on the first lesson and about an hour on each drill.  Of course, different students will work at different paces. The full course should take 5-11 weeks, depending on how many lessons per week the student chooses to complete.  They will need a notebook, pencil, and calculator to take notes and work through practice problems.  

Since this is a self-paced class, there will be no live meetings.  However, every lesson allows the student to ask questions of the teacher and receive feedback and encouragement.  The teacher will be available to respond on Tuesdays through Saturdays, except for holidays.  Once the student completes the full course, they will get a certificate of completion to help them celebrate their accomplishment.
