@@godlytechreviews4 I used this program online called prepscholar which helped a lot. They guarantee 4+ points improvement on your score or you get your money back. Also take a lot of practice tests and stay true to the time limitations. Review what you got wrong on those practice tests and make sure you know why u got them wrong and know how to correct it. For english know ur commas, semi colons, colons, and dashes. For math, know distance formula, law of sines and cosines. For reading, do the prompts that interest you the most last so ur not burned out at the end and cant focus on boring ones. For science save the comparing viewpoints for last it takes the most time. Bring a snack and water for the break, its only 10 min. If you really have to, you're allowed to go to the bathroom during the test, but you dont get extra time. If I think of anything else I'll lyk.

One tip that I do for myself on the Science, Math, and Reading section is to chunk the problems by tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) and give myself about eight minutes per section. Even if I dont see my watch, I can roughly feel if I am taking longer than eight minutes, and the good thing is that I almost always finish with around 3-5 minutes to spare on all of these topics. Then I go back and check problems I wasn't sure about. I dont have problems with English pacing or scoring, so I dont worry about it, but with science, timing was KILLER. After this, I almost always finished with enough spare time, and it wasn't rushing me so much that I lost accuracy. Hope it helps!

I mentioned that a motive for the improvment was my country's (Saudi Arabia) vision plan to revamp the country and make it a better country. I also mentioned little details such as the first time volunteering and how proud it made me feel that I almost like became "addicted to it". does this sound interesting or would you recommend me to change it?

Hi Brooke! Ive been looking to invest in your prep guide for awhile, but I have one question. Is there anyways to ask questions to you or another tutor. I know the course is online through prerecorded videos, but didn't know if i joined if i would have the opportunity to talk to others and ask for advice or something. Thanks so much for your videos!

@brookifyd 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Luke, at this point (I can't promise what it will be like in a year or two), I do respond to emails from students and questions directly (in moderation-- i.e. a question here or there with a quick answer) if there is a question about a particular explanation or unclear answer choice/materials within the course. Alternatively, I've also corrected and edited exercises that had typos etc. and reissued for students in cases when there were issues and also fast tracked certain packets or materials on subject matter students wanted more help with. For example, right now I'm working on a "pacing guide" / suggested study calendar to create as a download within our course, which was a request from a parent yesterday. This, however, is not private tutoring, but product support, the result of which will hopefully make the course better for all students. If we scale to a point that I can't handle all the questions, we'll have someone in my office handle them in any case. If you're looking for private tutoring or have questions that are not related directly to course content or functionality, we do offer that on an hourly fee basis, but it is not included with the course. Information on private tutoring, including rates, is available on our site or at brookehansontutoring.com. We also offer a less expensive tutor option (i.e. not me) in the range of ~$60/hr online if she is available; she has access to the online course and its materials so can help navigate/assign/etc. using that as a resource.

@jillian6121 6 жыл бұрын

Hi! There is something called the preACT, which we took as a school in 9th grade (I'm going into my senior year of high school btw). We took the PSAT in 10th and 11th grade. As far as the tests go, just take ones that you get a good score on. Some people score terribly on the ACT, but then take the SAT and do tremendously better, or vice versa. As for me, I only took the ACT because I got very good scores on it (first time without proper accommodations I got a 29 composite, with proper accommodations I got a 33 composite). I didn't want to take the SAT because I already did well and didn't need the extra stress in my life.
