SAT Clinic

SAT Test Preparation Courses

Course Description

Overview

This one day SAT clinic includes a review of the critical reading, math, and writing sections using materials developed by experienced tutors that have a track record of helping students improve their scores on the exams.

Objectives:
To help students review the study areas covered in the new SAT exam following College Board's outline and understand that there are different test taking skills and strategies. The sections covered are:

Reading, Writing, and Language

Improve command of evidence
•    Find evidence in a passage
•    Identify how authors use evidence to support their claims
•    Find a relationship between an informational graphic and the passage it’s paired with

Improve understanding words in context
•    Use context clues in a passage to figure out which meaning of a word or phrase is being used
•    Decide how an author’s word choice shapes meaning, style and tone.

Improve analysis in History/Social Studies and Sciences
•    Examine hypotheses
•    Interpret data
•    Consider implications

Improve expression of ideas and sentence structure
•    Identify which words or structural change improve the sentience
•    Change words, clause, and punctuation to improve the sentence

Math


With more emphasis on problem solving, modeling, using tools strategical and using algebraic structure, the new SAT math cover both depth and breadth of mathematical concepts.  The exam focuses in the following three sections

Heart of Algebra:  focuses on the mastery of linear equations and systems and covers

•    Create, solve, or interpret a linear expression or equation in one variable
•    Create, solve, or interpret linear inequalities in one variable
•    Build a linear function that models a linear relationship between two quantities
•    Create, solve, and interpret systems of linear inequalities in two variables
•    Create solve, an interpret systems of two linear equations in tow variables
•    Algebraically solve linear equations (or inequalities) in one variable
•    Algebraically solve systems of two linear equations in two variables
•    Interpret the variables and constants n expression for linear functions within the context presented
•    Understand connections between algebraic and graphical representations.

Problem Solving and Data Analysis:  focuses on identification of quantitative measures of center, overall patterns, and any striking deviations from the overall pattern and spread in one or two different data sets. This section requires student to:

•    Use ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and scale drawings to solve single and multi-step problems
•    Solve single – and multi-step problems involving percentages
•    Solve single- and multi-step problems involving measurement quantities, unites and unit conversion.
•    Use linear, quadratic, or exponential models to describe how the variables are related
•    Use the relationship between two variables to investigate key features of the graph
•    Compare linear growth with exponential growth
•    Use two-way tables to summarize categorical data and relative frequencies, and calculate conditional
probability
•    Make inferences about population parameters based on sample data
•    Use statistics to investigate measures of center of data an analyze shape, center, and spread
•    Evaluate reports to make inferences, justify conclusions, and determine appropriateness of data collection methods.

Passport to Advanced Math:
  focuses on advanced math namely understanding of the structure of expressions and the ability to analyze, manipulate, and rewrite these expressions. Skills required for his section include:
•    Create a quadratic or exponential function
•    Determine the most suitable form of an expression
•    Create equivalent expressions involving rational exponents
•    Create an equivalent form of an algebraic expression
•    Solve a quadratic equation
•    Add, subtract, and multiply polynomial expressions
•    Solve an equation in one variable that contains radicals or contains the variable in the denominator of a fraction
•    Solve a system of one linear equation and one quadratic equation
•    Rewrites simple rational expressions
•    Interpret parts of nonlinear expressions in terms of their context
•    Understand the relationship between zeros and factors of polynomials
•    Understand a nonlinear relationship between two variables
•    Use function notation, and interpret statements using function notation
•    Use structure to isolate or identify a quantity or interest

What our Students Say

Not just our words but the words of our students! 

The Project Managment Professional (PMP) bootcamp at MGTC is taught by instructors who have a track record of preparing students to succeed in obtaining their certifications. I was one of them.

As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) I need continuous professional education courses to update my skills and earn CPE credits. MGTC offers these courses through different delivery methods (online, hybrid, on-ground, and self study)

The finance course taught by an experienced instructor exceeded my expectations.  I definitely recommend it.
