SAT I (math, critical reading and writing):
Our
SAT I prep program includes math, critical reading (and vocabulary), writing (and grammar),
for a total of 7 weeks and 3 4-hour simulation tests. Each subject, math,
critical reading and writing, can be taken separately to serve your specific
needs. Each subject taken will have a free simulation test. However, a good price discount is provided if students
take 3 subjects together. All sessions include baseline
SAT tests in first classes, and final progress assessments at 4-hour simulation exam. All SAT I classes
are independent lessons which contain lecture for certain topics.
They can be like algebra I, geometry, algebra II, possibility and
combination for math;
vocabulary, reading comprehension, analytical thinking for critical reading; and
commonly seen grammar patterns or errors, 25-min timed essay writing for writing.
ALC
provides many tips to our students on how to solve SAT math
problems easily and quickly. We give very helpful directions on how to comprehend
for critical reading and structure writing as well. Though every SAT I test is
different, the content of its questions are very similar to what they
have been tested in many years.
According to historical statistics, the average improvement for
writing and grammars is usually at around 120 points for students took
the SAT class from our teachers. ALC writing includes SAT
"frequently tested" grammars and "carefully edited" essay writing.
We uses
many real SAT I essay topics.
Since UCs require students to take an English placement test (Subject A)
if their writing score is below 680. This class can definitely
help the students to go beyond. Our Math prep class is expected to
provide a very high improvement. If students enter at
around 600 points, they can leave our classrooms possibly at 750.
Math and science subjects are always easier to show results, comparing to effort needed for language arts.
Students should be very familiar and comfortable with the SAT math questions,
and should utilize the saved time to rest.
Critical reading has been always very difficult to improve. There are thousands of vocabularies that students have
to memorize, and analytical skills, critical thinking would take even longer time to accumulate. However, our critical reading
classes should result in a 80 points improvement. Our teachers
will design their own vocabulary quizzes, reading tips and analytical strategies to
overcome the obstacles in the test and to help our students to perform better.
