Critical Reading:
Throughout the program, our curriculum helps students build a solid vocabulary foundation (root, suffix, prefix deivation skills) and a deep understanding of sentence structure. We also teach problem solving skills and strategies specific to this section of the test. Since the reading questions on the SAT measure a student's ability to read and think carefully about numerous diverse passages, our curriculum pushes students to become comfortable with topics ranging from the humanities, to social studies, the natural sciences, and literary fiction. Similarly, the program also encourages students to become comfortable with narrative, argumentative, and literary fiction styles of writing (both long and short).
Writing:
Employing our Master List of Topics technique, our writing program equips you with a toolbox of 12-14 topics that you will memorize and apply to any essay topics thrown at you. Our custom curriculum also teaches students how to organize and express their ideas clearly while developing a strong thesis and providing strong supporting evidence. Through regular practice and timed, structured exercises, our proven system will give them the confidence they need to succeed on this section of the test.
The multiple choice portion of the writing section tests a student's mastery of English Grammar. Our program focuses on teaching students the English Rules of Grammar and subsequently understanding how to identify errors in sentences and/or passages they may be presented with. Errors span issues of diction, grammar, sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, proper word usage, and wordiness.
Math:
Includes exponential growth, absolute value, and functional notation, with a greater emphasis on linear functions, manipulations with exponents, and properties of tangent lines, basic algebra and geometry. Our custom curriculum also teaches techniques targeted at increasing speed and accuracy. These include wrong answer elimination, educated omissions and educated guessing. Regular homework assignments ensure that students internalize strategies before taking the test.
