SAT MATH PREP

ABOUT THE SAT

The SAT is a three plus hour paper-based test designed by the College Board and used in the college admissions process to determine the readiness of the student to attend college. The SAT is comprised of three sections: Math (calculator and non-calculator sections), Reading, and Writing. There is also an optional essay section that extends the test-taking time by 50 minutes. 

The SAT is scored out of a total of 1600 points, which is calculated by adding the Reading/Writing and Math section scores together. The Reading/Writing and Math sections are each scored out of 800 points.  A student is welcome to take the test as many times as they wish during their high school career. Most universities will only request the highest score during the college admissions process. Some universities will also allow students to submit the highest section scores  from multiple tests as their SAT score (called superscoring). 

For information regarding the SAT and its format, refer to the College Board site here.

TUTORING THE SAT

Preparing for the SAT can be a difficult and daunting task for your loved one. Here at National Study Academy, we are not only here to prepare and help your child increase their score, but we really try hard to make it as fun as possible along the way so that they are challenged and having fun at the same time. What a novel idea! 
​SAT preparation courses at the National Study Academy occurs in two different phases. 

PHASE ONE

PHASE TWO

Duration: approximately 10 to 12  hours total; approximately seven to eight 1.5 hour lessons or ten to twelve one hour lessons
Focuses on review of concepts and material that will appear in the test, including:
  • Arithmetic skills
  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • some parts of Algebra 2 and beginning of Trigonometry
Duration: about 12 to 14 hours total; eight to nine 1.5 hour lessons or 12 to 14 one hour lessons.
Focus on practice tests, analysis of missed questions, proximity of probability that could appear on the SAT, various test-taking strategies and tactics used, and study skills and habits. Phase two would be where the student needs to dig in.
Students should expect to complete anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours of homework weekly outside of tutoring. However, because our SAT preparation course is one-on-one, duration of lessons and amount of homework can be adjusted to fit the student's needs and schedule. Students also have the option or preparing for both the SAT and ACT concurrently.
