You were well-prepared for the session, having a clear plan based on the student's requests to cover arcs/sectors, volume, and when to use Desmos. Your approach was structured and logical, starting with a general overview of each topic before diving into specific formulas and examples. Your knowledge of the material was strong and you were able to explain complex concepts in simple terms. You also correctly identified which formulas are provided on the SAT reference sheet versus those that need to be memorized, which is crucial, high-value information for a student the day before a test.
You also showed a deep practical understanding of the test itself by pointing out what types of questions are common (volume questions for cylinders) versus those that are not (pyramid problems, lateral surface area). This strategic insight helps students focus their limited study time on the most important topics.
