About

June Session:

I am not a native English speaker-- that caused me to struggle with RW, where I was stuck in the 600 range forever, yet I was able to miraculously break the 700 line with a 710 before scoring a 760.

You will learn exactly how to read to understand, because reading comprehension is the root of solving the RW section, even non-reading problems like grammar, since you must understand the text to apply the rules. By the time you complete the session, you will no longer have a fear of reading tests, and may even find SAT RW quite trivial.

Preview of my approach
- Map the passage
- Predict the answer
