About

We'll go over the basics of SAT writing. You're welcome to join no matter where you are in your SAT journey but this series will get you ready to take the exam by August 28. Sessions will be interactive and we'll do practice problems after each lesson. We'll also take two diagnostic tests, one at the start of the series and one at the end. After reviewing your first diagnostic test, you and I will work together to come up with goals. After that, you’re welcome to drop into office hours to discuss your progress and receive some targeted prep work and feedback. I’m looking forward to meeting you all! As for me, I got a 36 on ACT Reading/Writing and a 5 on the AP Lang exam.

After I review your diagnostic tests, I'll speak to you about which sessions you should attend. If you can't make one of the recommended sessions, please try to let me know ahead of time. I know you're all busy though and I won't hold it against you if you forget to update me, as long as you communicate with me afterwards.
