October SAT R&W Prep

Started

This series is designed for you (the learner) to improve your R&W skills by solving practice problems and realizing and fixing your common errors. My goal by the end of this series is to elevate all of you to an advanced level (700+) of scoring. We will meet three times a week (5:30 pm EST Mondays and Thursdays, 3:15 pm EST Saturdays), 75 minutes per session, for a total of 10 sessions. I will have tips and practice problems for each session and will look to cover all four R&W domains at least twice. Note: This series is very problem-oriented. For the majority of most sessions, you will be solving practice problems. If you are not able to do so, then unfortunately this series is not for you. Note (#2): While I can help you no matter where you are across the scoring range, I do try and tailor my problems for the higher scoring ranges (590-690). Keep that in mind when coming to the sessions!

Road to a 1500+ | with a 1550 DSAT scorer.

3rd session

Each week, we will dive deep into different topics on the DSAT in preparation for the Oct. 5 exam. We will cover every topic and examine college board questions for each one. Additionally, I will cover Desmos and other "hacks" on the DSAT that allowed me to achieve a 790 on the DSAT Math Section. I will also teach the tricks I have picked up along the way during my own studying that allowed me to become a much quicker and more confident test taker.

Summer Grind - SAT Math Prep with a 790 Scorer

90th session

Hi👋 You're probably here to improve your SAT math score, and I believe practice is the key to that. Therefore, we'll be going over common SAT math questions. Each session will focus on a specific topic (e.g. advanced math, algebra, geometry, data analysis). Students will solve each question first and I will provide thorough explanations if needed. This course is designed for SAT beginners as well as those feeling a bit shaky with their math scores. Let's have fun while we stay busy!

Intensive DSAT R&W: Going from a 400-500 to a 750+ (from an 800 scorer!)

17th session

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.)

Reading Review Sessions

6th session

Mini-review sessions where we will only discuss strategies to improve our performance in every domain. Note that these sessions will not have many practice questions, and are only meant for review. I will send the slides of every session in the GC after the session ends. You will need to practice questions by yourself, because self-studying will get you fruitful results. Wishing all the furture test-takers the best for their test!

SAT R&W - Building up to a 700+ Score
