Varsity Tutors can assist students who are preparing for college admissions exams by enrolling them in an Ann Arbor SAT prep course led by an expert instructor. If you are a high school student preparing to begin the college application process, the SAT is one of the hurdles you will have to clear on your path to admissions. Many students in Ann Arbor, including those at Huron High School and Pioneer High School, take the SAT in addition to the ACT. Scoring high on the SAT can help set you apart from other applicants by showing schools that you can handle studying college-level curricula.
With a dynamic online classroom led by expert instructors, Varsity Tutors can connect you with high-level instruction and a collaborative forum to interact and troubleshoot with your peers. Studying with peers can provide you with the ability to strategize, share ideas, and troubleshoot tricky concepts. If you are just beginning your studies, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of prep materials and SAT advice articles available to you. Enrolling in an Ann Arbor SAT class will provide you with top-notch resources that will reflect the content you will encounter on the exam. Better yet, they are all centralized in our virtual learning platform. Maybe you are months into your SAT prep and beginning to feel fatigued. Working directly with an expert instructor can help rejuvenate and lend direction to your studies, ensuring that you are covering the necessary materials and developing efficient test-taking skills.
What can an Ann Arbor SAT Course help me review?
The SAT is broken into three sections: Writing and Language, Math, and Reading. There is also an optional SAT Essay that you can complete. You will have three hours to complete the mandatory sections of the exam, with an extra 50 minutes allotted for the optional essay. The material covered by the SAT is wide-ranging, meaning that it is important to approach the exam with well developed subject knowledge and refined test-taking skills. In addition, knowing how to approach multiple-choice questions by isolating potential answers can help you work more efficiently during the duration of the exam. Here we will break down the different sections of the test to give you a better idea of the different topics you will face.
In the Math section, you will have 80 minutes to complete 58 questions that assess your algebraic skills, problem-solving and analytical skills, and your ability to understand and solve mathematical expressions. This portion of the exam is broken into two sections, one of which allows a calculator. You will be tasked with solving problems involving linear equations, using math skills to understand data and solve problems, and rewriting mathematical expressions by analyzing and manipulating the given expressions, among other things.
In the Writing and Language section, you will have 35 minutes to answer 44 multiple-choice questions based on written passages. Some passages presented will include tables, graphs, and charts, forcing you to be adaptable and fluent in different models of comprehension. This section will task you with critiquing evidence provided in arguments, analyzing words in context by assessing syntax, style or tone, and making editorial decisions to improve the provided passages, among other things. Strong fluency in written English communications will help you succeed in this portion of the test.
The Reading section will assess your command of analyzing evidence, your ability to evaluate meaning in passages, and your aptitude for utilizing context clues to understand words or phrases. You will be allowed 65 minutes to complete 52 questions. Text passages will come from a variety of sources, including the United States founding documents, world or contemporary literature, the social sciences, and the physical sciences. Your ability to understand the meaning of the passage provided, as well as drawing inferences and conclusions, will be integral to your success in this section.
The SAT Essay will ask you to read a passage and consider the author's use of evidence to support claims, the stylistic and persuasive elements employed, and the reasoning used to develop ideas and connect the claims and evidence. Your essay will assess the author's argument in a critical manner. You will have 50 minutes to complete your essay.
How can an Ann Arbor SAT course help me prepare for my exam?
Enrolling in an Ann Arbor SAT course is a great first step towards streamlining your studies and maximizing your prep time. Varsity Tutors helps bring the classroom to you through a live virtual platform where you can interact with your instructor and classmates as the class unfolds. Knowing that you aren't alone in your SAT preparation can lend you the confidence needed to approach new concepts with a refreshed, decisive attitude. If you are struggling with your ability to evaluate an argument or isolate main ideas in a given text, you can schedule one-on-one time with your instructor to build critical thinking and comprehension skills that can help you in the Reading section. You can also strategize with your fellow classmates on how best to approach interpreting and understanding data in the Math section.
As a high school student in the 21st century, you are probably already aware of the benefits of online learning. We know that it's probably a challenge to handle your high school course load and extra-curricular activities. Streamlining your SAT studies can ensure you are maximizing your limited free time.
