Are you preparing for the Digital SAT? Are you looking for a complete guide to Digital SAT, for both the Math and Reading & Writing sections? Well, this is the series for you! Hey everyone! Welcome to the Complete Digital SAT Prep series! I'm Hafsah, a high school freshman from India, and I scored 1520 in the December Digital SAT. ABOUT THE DIGITAL SAT The SAT is shifting to a digital format for international students starting from March 2023, and for those in the US in Spring 2024. Apart from the digital format of the test, the Reading and Writing sections have been combined, and instead of having long passages with several questions from one passage, there'll be shorter passages, with one question from each passage. The curriculum for the Math section has also changed slightly. WHAT WE'LL DO IN THE SERIES In this series, we'll be going through all topics in both the sections of the SAT, practising problems (starting from a beginner level, slowly progressing to more advanced questions) and sharing test-taking tips with each other along the way. Sessions will be hosted on Sundays from 1:30 pm UTC to 2:30 pm UTC. I look forward to seeing you in the sessions!

Ever wanted to take part in extempore TEDx Talks? Ever wanted to improve your impromptu speaking skills? Well, this is the series for you! Hey everyone! I’m really excited to bring the third edition of my previous Extempore TEDxSchoohouse series, but with a little twist! Welcome to the Schoolhouse Extempore TEDx Talks 2.0 and Impromptu 101🎉! In this series, we’ll start with the basics of impromptu/extempore speaking and then, we’ll be having sessions where you will get the chance to test out and improve your skills in extempore talks as well as pick up tips to do well in speaking impromptu. IMPROMPTU 101 In the first few sessions, we’ll be going through the basics of impromptu speaking and we’ll also go through some tips to be a good impromptu speaker to set ourselves up for success when you get the chance to speak! HOW EXTEMPORE TED TALKS WORK In extempore TEDx Talks, you are randomly given a topic to speak on and given 60 seconds to gather your thoughts, after which you are given 4 minutes to speak along with an additional extra one minute if needed. But don’t worry, we won’t give you just 1 minute to think right from our first session. Since we also want to include beginners and help you improve your skills, we’ll start out with 3 minutes, and gradually decrease the thinking time until it reaches 1 minute. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE If you have vast experience in extempore talks and just want to brush up your skills and take part, or if you’re a complete beginner looking to start out, the series is for you! Anyone who’s interested can take part, regardless of your experience. If you’re a bit shy and worried about not doing well, don’t worry, we’re all here to learn and the only way we can learn is by practising! Note: I have kept the sessions at times to accommodate as many time zones as I can. If the timings of the sessions don’t work for you, please let me know and I’ll try my best to host a session at a time that’ll work for you.

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to see so many of you interested in the original series (https://schoolhouse.world/series/733 )!Since some of you requested to have sessions at Asia-friendly times, here’s the series for you! CO-TUTORS I am not the only tutor who will be leading the series. Karinna F and G Tarun have been co-tutoring the other series for this with me. Unfortunately, Karinna F won’t be able to co-tutor in these Asia-friendly timings, since the timings are well over midnight for her. G Tarun will be joining me in co-hosting this series, although Karinna F has been doing a lot of the behind-the-scenes work for both of the series, and as the series goes on we expect the format to lean more towards discussion with other tutors and learners joining to talk. WHO CAN BE AN AUTODIDACT Self-directed learning has very little to do with the actual material you are studying, so it doesn't matter whether you are advanced or in a traditional school environment or studying for exams. This is us sharing the skills on how for you to manage your own learning, not what to learn. Anyone and everyone are welcome! A FEW EXAMPLE TOPICS The science behind how your brain learns best (and worst!). How to find a community of like-minded learners. How to use active recall and cycled practice while studying. How to build your own curriculum and stick to it. Our experiences & self-directed learning journeys and what we have picked up along the way Expect fun slides, rambled discussion, Pomodoro timers and much more!
