Series Details
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.)
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
