What can Memphis SAT prep cover?
There are three mandatory sections of the SAT: Reading, Math, and Writing and Language. You can opt to add the SAT Essay section if you want your writing assessed as part of your exam. You'll have a total of three hours to take the three main portions of the test. If you include the SAT Essay, you have an additional 50 minutes.
The Reading portion of the SAT has 52 questions that you have 65 minutes to answer. A few of the skills you may want to review include finding evidence-based support, understanding how authors present various arguments, using context clues, drawing inferences, and general reading comprehension.
The Math portion of the SAT has 58 questions you must answer within 80 minutes. There are two parts of this section of the SAT. You will only be able to use a calculator in one of these parts. The part that does not allow a calculator gives you 25 minutes to answer 15 questions. The part that allows you to use a calculator gives you 55 minutes to answer 30 questions. Working with an experienced SAT instructor can help you work towards navigating this section more effectively.
The Writing and Language section of the SAT has 44 questions you must answer within 35 minutes. You will need to be aware of standard English conventions such as subject-verb agreement, proper punctuation, verb tense, and sentence structure when you take the exam.
What are some of the benefits of taking a Memphis SAT prep class?
As you start to study for the SAT, it's necessary to remember that time management needs to play a role in your exam strategy. It is essential to carefully manage your time as you work through each section of the test if you want to have enough time to answer each question. Remember, there isn't a penalty for guessing an answer; but if you don't answer at all, there could be unfortunate scoring consequences. Preparing for the SAT with the assistance of a highly-qualified instructor can aid you in developing your time management strategies.
You have a choice of two or four-week classes. Both are built of individual segments, and new segments begin every week. This kind of modular session design allows you to start whenever you're ready so you can work on your SAT goals in a way that is most compatible with your life.
The classes are all taught in an online classroom environment. This setting will familiar as it has a structure which is similar to those found in a regular classroom. Your teacher will present instructional information to the class and may then encourage group conversations or assignments, so students can work collaboratively to deepen their understanding of the topic.
Enrolling in an SAT prep class is a fantastic way to make sure you study all relevant information that may be included on the SAT in a supportive setting. If you don't know where to begin or you know you thrive in structured settings, a class may be an ideal solution.
How is working with a Memphis SAT tutor different from taking a prep course?
When you work with a private tutor, your instructional experience is entirely personalized. Individualized instruction is not feasible in a Memphis SAT prep course to the same extent because the teacher must focus on delivering content to the entire class and ensuring all areas are covered. They must divide the remaining course time answering individual student's questions and facilitating group activities. When you work with a personal instructor, however, you are their only priority throughout your entire sessions.
Your personal instructor can take the time to get to know your personality, academic needs, and learning style. The information they gather can then be utilized in the creation of your learning plan. When you work with them, you can focus exclusively on the topics and skills with which you struggle most. This type of intensive instruction can make the preparation process move along more quickly depending on how many areas you need to review.
Another difference between tutoring and a prep course is the schedule. When you sign up for a course, you must choose one of the available course times. If they are not compatible with your schedule, you must make adjustments in other areas of your life to attend. With a personal instructor, you can schedule your sessions around previous obligations. You can choose to schedule your sessions during the week or on weekends in the morning, afternoon, or evening. This type of scheduling freedom can be invaluable for busy students.
