What kind of content does an Albuquerque SAT course cover?

You can expect a thorough review of the content found on the three required and one optional sections found on the SAT. Specifically, there are Reading, Writing and Language, and Math sections, and the Essay task. Your class will go into each subject in depth, but here's a quick overview of each section for your initial information.

The Reading section allows 65 minutes for you to complete 52 questions. You'll be provided with passages followed by a handful of multiple-choice questions testing your abilities in reading comprehension, reasoning, command of evidence, understanding words in context, and drawing conclusions and inferences not stated in the presented readings.

The Writing and Language section gives you 35 minutes to complete 44 questions. Again, you receive passages followed by questions. This time, your job is to demonstrate your command of evidence, expression of ideas, and understanding of standard English conventions. You'll need to edit passages to sharpen the claims and provide relevant supporting details, to use more precise words to express the thoughts intended, and to correct things like grammar, verb tense, and punctuation, among others.

The Math section consists of 58 questions that you must complete in 80 minutes. This is further divided into two subsections: one 25-minute no-calculator section with multiple-choice and grid-in questions, and one 55-minute calculator section with 30 multiple-choice and 8 grid-in questions. Your skills in math fluency, conceptual understanding, and real-world application will be measured. Problems include algebra, problem solving and data analysis, and analyzing, manipulating, and rewriting advanced math expressions.

If any of these concepts prove especially challenging for you, all you have to do is request some one-on-one tutoring and Varsity Tutors can also provide that. You'll have a chance to work at your own pace while receiving customized instruction and guidance from a knowledgeable tutor. With the tutoring backup, a high-quality Albuquerque SAT course, and your hard work, you can feel confident that you'll be prepared to do your best when the exam day rolls around.

How do Albuquerque SAT classes prepare me for the test?

One valuable way taking an SAT class can help you is by helping you become familiar with the entire SAT testing process. This includes reviewing the content, of course, but there's a lot more. No small amount of anxiety stems from not knowing what to expect on test day, but your class can discuss the SAT schedule, the things you are and aren't allowed to bring with you, the structure of each test section, the breaks allowed, and any other details you might want to know. If this doesn't alleviate all of your testing anxiety, you can discuss relaxation exercises you can perform unobtrusively during the test with your instructor and classmates. Which highlights another benefit of studying with a group, which is the sharing of suggestions and ideas among many people.

As far as specific methods your Albuquerque SAT class instructor might use, there's no one answer. This is a good thing, because each class leader is able to draw on their resources and experience while focusing on the needs of the group. Every class section will cover all the material on the SAT, but what amount of attention given to each part is flexible. If most of the students in a class need to work on time management, their instructor can administer numerous timed practice sections. They can then recommend a variety of strategies students can choose from to use during the exam to increase their pace.

If another class has mostly or all students who are going to write the SAT Essay, more time can be focused on writing practice essays, which is a common way to prepare for this part of the SAT. With both the instructor and your classmates' help, you can get meaningful feedback from more than one source. As your instructor is working with one student, you can collaborate with a small group to review each other's essays. Not only is this helpful feedback for each student, but analyzing someone else's essay is actually an excellent way to enhance your own essay-writing skills.

If you find you're struggling with a topic, concept, or skill, you can request one-on-one tutoring in addition to your Albuquerque SAT class. Varsity Tutors is dedicated to providing whatever you need to help you work towards your goals. You can work with your tutor on whatever you need.
