Series Details
About
Hi my name is Neil, and I took the SAT last December. I got a 1550, and got no questions wrong on the reading section. This may seem impossible but I want to share the tips and tricks that I learned to achieve this score with you!
During this series we will be breaking down the entire SAT reading and writing. We will not just be going over questions, and I will show the tips and tricks that you can use to reduce the amount of time you spend on each question, and to make complicated questions much easier.
I will introduce you to all of the questions that appear on both sections, and we will do many practice problems on each section. After we will take a practice test and review the test to see where we can improve.
Note: The SAT Writing sessions are TENATIVE and may change. I want to make sure that we cover all of the SAT reading material before moving on.
