Regardless of where you currently are in your educational career, Varsity Tutors can help you find the Seattle SAT prep course that is best for you. If you are attending a school like Lakeside School or Interlake Senior High School, now is the time to start thinking about college admissions exams. One of the exams that admissions boards will look at as evidence of your academic proficiency might be the SAT. Since your score on the SAT will be one of the many factors that will determine which colleges you are accepted into, it's important that you invest time and effort into preparing for it.
If you are interested in getting some extra help on the SAT, consider enrolling in a Seattle SAT course. A qualified instructor can help you get a grasp on effective test-taking strategies. Instead of struggling with the material, take charge of your studies and seek some extra help. These collaborative learning environments have been shown to more effectively prepare students. There's no need to fear this test as long as you put in a solid dose of effort.
What skills will I be developing in a Seattle SAT course?
When test day arrives, you will face three primary sections: Writing and Language, Reading, and Math. You will also have the option of completing an Essay section. The total amount of time that the test allows is three hours, although you will get an extra fifty minutes if you choose to take the Essay portion. This test will assess many of the skills that you have learned throughout high school. Let's have a look at each of the sections to get a better idea of what subjects the SAT requires you to know.
In the Writing and Language section of the SAT, you will have 44 multiple-choice questions and 35 minutes to complete them. These questions will relate to passages that you must be able to read efficiently and improve upon. This section of the test will evaluate your ability to improve sentence structure and polish syntax. In order to succeed in this section of the test, you must have an excellent command of English and savvy editorial skills.
Once you get to the Reading section, you will have 65 minutes to answer 52 questions. This part of the test will assess how well you can read a passage and extract information from it. For instance, you may need to read over a passage and then use evidence from within the passage to answer the questions. This requires a sharp ability to form inferences and connections between different pieces of data. Not only that, but you'll need to be able to pick out which pieces of information are relevant. You must be a quick thinker and an effective reader.
The Math section of the SAT will require you to answer 58 questions in 80 minutes. Bear in mind that this section is divided up into a 25-minute session without a calculator and a 55-minute section with a calculator. The Math section will test your knowledge of such topics as algebra and data analysis. To succeed in this section, you must be able to formulate efficient solutions to complex mathematical problems. Additionally, these questions may also require you to look at real-world problems, extract all of the relevant data, and apply mathematical techniques to arrive at a solution.
If you choose to take the Essay portion of the test, then you will have 50 minutes to answer one essay question. In this section, you will read a passage and provide a written evaluation of the argument that the author is making. You must be able to provide textual evidence that supports your claims. Keep in mind that you will not be agreeing or disagreeing with the author, but rather analyzing the argument itself. In order to succeed in this section, you must be able to compose an organized essay that demonstrates a strong grasp of written English.
How can a Seattle SAT course help me review?
When you sign up for SAT prep courses, you will be given access to a collaborative virtual environment that resembles what you would encounter in a traditional classroom. Since we understand that you are likely to be very busy at this point in your life, courses have been designed to be as convenient as possible. Not only can you pick between a 2-week and a 4-week course, but new sections also begin on a weekly basis. This means that you can pick and choose whichever section is best for your schedule. The best part of all is that you can participate in courses from the comfort of your own home. As long as you have a solid internet connection, you can just open up your laptop and engage in the course from any location that you please.
Once you have gotten yourself enrolled in a Seattle SAT class, your instructor can offer you personalized guidance on concepts that you want to work on. You can even schedule one-on-one time with the instructor so that you can work through issues that you may be struggling with. For instance, if you've forgotten how to solve a particular type of algebra problem, the instructor can work with you on that. Or, perhaps you need a reminder of how to properly organize your essay. This is also something that your instructor can help you work on.
How do I get signed up for a Seattle SAT class?
At this point in your educational career, you are going to have to make some pivotal decisions. You've worked hard and you deserve the chance to go to college, if that's the path you want to take. If you are interested in taking your education to the next level, the most effective way to do so is through proper exam prep. Let Varsity Tutors help you in your mission to find a quality Seattle SAT class. Feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have.

If there is a non-academic issue that arises while tutoring I will always do my best to help the student through because I believe that if the student is distracted he will not be able to focus on studying and their grades will suffer.
