Series Details
About
This series is designed for ambitious learners who are aiming to achieve the highest possible score on the SAT Math section. If you're targeting a score of 800, or simply want to master the most challenging Digital SAT math questions, this is the series for you. We will dive into the hardest questions the SAT has to offer, tackling them through interactive discussions, detailed strategies, and efficient problem-solving techniques. The focus will be on boosting your confidence with these advanced questions, sharpening your mathematical thinking, and ensuring you’re fully prepared for the toughest problems on the test.
What We’ll Cover:
# Advanced math questions from the official Digital SAT question bank, focusing exclusively on the hard difficulty level.
# Strategies, shortcuts, and tips to solve problems quickly and accurately under test conditions.
# In-depth breakdowns of challenging problems, including alternative methods to approach them.
# Opportunities to engage in discussions, share your approach to problems and ask questions in real-time.
Expectations for Learners:
# This series is intended for advanced learners who have scored at least 600+ on any official Digital SAT or the Bluebook practice test. If you haven't taken any practice test yet, but feel confident in your math skills, you're welcome to join.
# Since this is an advanced series, we won’t cover foundational concepts or theories. The sessions will focus solely on problem-solving, so it’s important that you come with a solid understanding of the core SAT math topics.
# Active participation is highly encouraged! Don’t hesitate to ask questions or engage in discussions, even if others seem to be doing well. Your questions are essential for your learning, and they will benefit others too.
Materials Required:
# Notebook or rough paper and a pen: These will be essential for solving problems and jotting down important notes during the sessions.
# Physical calculator (optional, but recommended) or access to Desmos: You’ll need these for solving problems more efficiently during the sessions. Desmos, as the SAT-provided tool, will be the primary calculator used in sessions.
Important Notes for learners with low scores:
# Although this series is mainly intended for advanced learners, but those with scores below 600 are still welcome to join if they feel up for the challenge. However, please keep in mind that the questions discussed in this series are significantly harder than the typical questions you receive at your level. As a result, you may feel overwhelmed if you’re not yet fully acquainted with the foundational concepts.
# Moreover, you might feel like the sessions are moving too quickly, and that I'm not giving you enough time to think or solve the questions, or that I'm not explaining the foundational concepts in enough detail. It's not that I'm intentionally going fast, but rather, you may not be ready to tackle these advanced concepts yet. If you join the sessions without being fully prepared, you may find yourself struggling while others seem to follow along easily. You might end up asking very basic questions about foundational concepts, which isn't a problem for me to explain. However, most of the other learners are at an advanced level, and if I spend too much time on basic explanations, they may feel frustrated or bored because the session is designed for higher-level learners.
If I notice that your questions are very basic or that you're not at the same level as the rest of the group, I may have to ignore your questions—not because I don’t want to help, but because I need to keep the session balanced and fair for everyone. The other learners are here to solve advanced problems, and if I spend too much time on foundational concepts, it won’t be fair to them.
So, if you decide to join this series despite not being fully prepared for the advanced material, please understand that you’re doing so at your own risk. I won’t be responsible if it negatively affects your score, discourages you, or makes you feel like the SAT is harder than it is. It’s your choice, but just be aware of the challenges.
# If you feel that you’re not quite ready for this level of difficulty, I encourage you to focus on building a solid understanding of the foundational SAT math concepts before joining. You may wish to attend foundational-level bootcamps or study these concepts on your own before returning for the advanced content.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By joining this series, you’ll challenge yourself with the hardest questions the SAT has to offer, ensuring that you’re well-prepared to handle anything that comes your way on test day. Get ready to level up your math skills and aim for that perfect score!
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
I highly encourage you to join every session. By registering for this series, you’ve committed to attend all sessions, so please make every effort to do so. I understand that life happens, and if you have an extenuating or unavoidable circumstance, it's okay if you miss a session. You don’t need to inform me beforehand, and there’s no need to worry about catching up. Each session is independent of the others, focusing on different skills, domains, and question types, so you won’t be left behind.
I’m not setting any strict attendance requirements, as my priority is your learning and convenience. I won’t remove you just for missing a session or two, as long as I see genuine intent and motivation from you. However, if you miss multiple sessions (around 3-4) without attending, and my learner capacity is full, I will then remove you from the series to open up space for other eager learners.
This policy is not meant to be intimidating but rather to ensure everyone benefits from the opportunity. Please don’t take it otherwise. It’s important for me to encourage you to stay on track and committed.
Punctuality is appreciated, but if you're late, feel free to join at any time, as each session covers independent questions. You can start benefiting from the content, even if you join later. Just participate actively and engage without hesitation!

........
Up until now, I have only scheduled 12 sessions because it’s hard to predict my availability throughout the day. However, this doesn't mean I intend to limit the series to just twelve sessions. It’s simply risky to schedule too many in advance, which is why I’ve only scheduled up to session 12. Once I complete these sessions or get closer to the date, I will reassess and restructure the future sessions.
By the time session 12 takes place, I’ll likely have travelled to another country for a temporary period. This uncertainty about my location and time zone is why I haven’t scheduled further sessions yet. Once I reach that country, I’ll evaluate my circumstances, work schedule, and other factors to decide on the timings and number of future sessions.
Although I can't confirm anything now, I intend to extend the series significantly. I hope to conduct more frequent sessions, possibly five to six per week, or even daily. I also plan to increase the duration from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.
Of course, all of this depends on the situation I find myself in, and only the God knows what the future holds. I'm sharing my intentions, though I can’t guarantee they will all be implemented. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I work through these uncertainties.

Session 36
SAT Math
This extra session is intended specifically for those taking the November SAT. While others are welcome to join and benefit from the session, I kindly request that only the November test-takers send me their questions, problems, and queries. I will focus solely on addressing their needs and won't cover any pre-determined lessons during this session.
-------------------------------
This session is designed as an interactive, learner-led Q&A experience for advanced SAT Math preparation. Unlike our usual sessions, I won’t be bringing any pre-selected questions or prepared materials. Instead, the focus will be entirely on your questions and areas of difficulty.
If you’re struggling with a particular concept, having trouble with specific problem types, or seeking clarity on challenging topics, this is your chance to ask. The session will follow an open format, allowing each participant to bring forward their queries, making it a flexible and personalized review experience.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll go in a queue format, with each learner having the floor to ask one question or raise one topic at a time. This will help ensure everyone’s voice is heard and we maintain an organized flow.
I’ll provide explanations, solutions, or guidance based on each question, focusing on helping you understand and tackle challenging math concepts effectively.
This session is an opportunity to dive deep into the specific areas you find most difficult and gain targeted insights to enhance your readiness. Come prepared with questions and get ready to make the most of this unique, interactive format as we approach the upcoming SAT.
