About

This intensive course is intended for those in the 400-500 score range for Reading & Writing and aims to produce 700-750 scorers by the end of the series.

In this series, we will spend approximately 1.5 weeks discussing each domain in the DSAT Reading for a total of 6 weeks. We will go through each and every type of question that appears on the test; how to identify them; and how to answer such questions (consistently!)

We will start by learning the fundamentals and the basics of each type, then work our way up to more difficult examples. There will be some practice/ diagnostics test at the end of every content domain discussed (and one at the halfway mark of the course) to evaluate your progress and highlight possible weaknesses for you to self-study in between the sessions.

I'll also share the tips and tricks that I used to score an 800 as an international student.

By the end of this course, you should be able to tackle the Reading portion of the test confidently and consistently, attaining the coveted 700+ score.

(This course is specifically designed for those taking the October test date of the DSAT, or later. For those taking it in August, you are welcome to join as well, but please note the sessions you can join and the content we'll discuss in those sessions.)

About the Tutor

Hi everyone! My name is Richie, and I've superscored 1590 (with an 800 on the R&W section) in the SAT. I started out in the 1400s, and self-studied my way to a 1590, using free & accessible resources that I'd like to share with all of you. I understand first-hand the struggles of the SAT -- from the complex vocabulary to the often confusing paragraphs -- and my goal is to help everyone demystify the test and achieve your target scores. Some of my hobbies being a huuuuge McLaren fan in Formula 1, listening to music, and exploring new places :)
