Description

Learn advanced grammar, reading, and test-taking strategies to improve accuracy, save time, and raise your score. Whether you are aiming for a perfect score or trying to reach a score requirement for a scholarship, this course can help you reach your goal. Topics include grammar, rhetorical skills, and reading strategies. This course covers all the most critical strategies and rules that I have identified through many years of tutoring US-based and international students all over the world.

Students will learn everything they need to know for the SAT's Evidence-Based Reading and Writing sections: the Reading test and the Writing and Language test. Much of this content is never taught in school, so the course will have a dual focus on developing a comprehensive understanding of advanced grammar, reading, and writing skills and then applying these skills to test-style questions.

This course has been designed based on how the human brain learns best, with short, focused videos and frequent miniature quizzes. Each short lecture is followed by comprehension questions designed to help students "lock in" their learning and form long-term memories. In this way, students can assess their knowledge and prevent forgetting.

SAT Reading and Writing is taught by Anna Moss, author of Mind the Test: SAT Study Guide and Lead Educator & CEO of Mind the Test Tutoring.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is aimed at families with students in grades 9-12, both US-based and international.
  • Students who want to raise their SAT or PSAT scores.
