Description

If you're tired of struggling to decipher the explanations provided by the SAT® test makers, then this course is for you. I don't know about you, but sometimes it seems to me like they don't even want you to understand the explanations!

I created this course with that exact problem in mind. This course allows you to watch me solve these problems in the time required - or less - with easy-to-understand explanations as I go.

I've tutored for nearly 10 years now, so I understand the struggles that most students have. It is my goal to break down each question into easily-digestible pieces that allow you to solve the problem quickly, skillfully, and with confidence.

This course is perfect for students who have done some studying but are looking for something to take them to the next level. This course will teach you to be faster, make you aware of the 'tricks' and shortcuts, and give you the confidence you need to succeed on the SAT®.

Disclaimer: These videos demonstrate me solving problems to an Official 2016 SAT® Practice Test. These questions are not my own, and I did not write them. They can be found online on the SAT® website.

Who this course is for:

Students planning to take the New SAT (i.e., in 2016 or beyond).
Students that want to learn more about test-taking strategies
