Washington DC SAT Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors can refer you to knowledgeable Washington DC SAT tutors in as little as 24 hours. The SAT is a standardized test acknowledged by colleges and universities across the globe. Earning a good score can help your college application stand out from the countless others colleges receive, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Investing in professional Washington DC SAT tutoring can be a great way to review both the academic concepts and test-taking techniques you'll need to pursue academic success. Please keep reading for more information.
What are the benefits of working with Washington DC SAT tutors near me?
Many SAT prep products divide their time equally between each of the test's four sections (Math, Reading, Writing/Language, Essay). That's probably a good idea for some students, but is it the right fit for you? Private Washington DC SAT tutors can design study sessions around your unique areas of opportunity to enhance your efficiency.
For instance, let's say you're confident in your knowledge of English language conventions but tense up a little around numbers. Your Washington DC SAT tutoring sessions can concentrate on math until you signal that you'd like to work on something else. You won't find comparable freedom to study at your own pace in a traditional classroom setting.
Your instructor can incorporate your preferred learning style into your study sessions. A visual learner can use flashcards to add new words to their lexicon, while an auditory learner could get more out of repeating words and their definitions out loud. Kinesthetic learners can even complete practice problems during their private study sessions to get more comfortable with a challenging question type.
Studying with Washington DC SAT tutors allows you to work in a private learning environment that revolves around your needs. Since you are the only student your academic mentor is working with during your study sessions, any questions you have can be answered promptly. In fact, some students find it a lot easier to ask a trusted tutor for assistance than a classroom teacher they don't know as well. A private instructor can also provide constructive criticism on your work more quickly than somebody who needs to grade a bunch of papers.
Can I review the exam's formatting during Washington DC SAT tutoring sessions?
Academic subjects are an important component of SAT prep, but they're not the only one. Knowing how to leverage the exam against itself is at least as important if you hope to reach for your goals. Washington DC SAT tutors can provide valuable tips on how to approach each section of the test to improve your self-confidence heading into exam day.
For example, the entire SAT utilizes a multiple-choice format except for the optional Essay section. If you feel stumped, your instructor can teach you how to eliminate some of the incorrect choices to raise the effectiveness of any guesses you make. You might consider skipping an item temporarily in case a subsequent question contains information that helps you answer it. Just make sure you go back and put something down, as there's no penalty for guessing incorrectly on the SAT.
Other tips are geared toward a specific section of the exam. For example, the SAT's Mathematics section is divided into two subsections, one of which allows the use of an approved calculator. While it can be tempting to double-check your arithmetic whenever you can, doing so can burn too much of your time. Your instructor can teach you when and how to use your calculator efficiently.
Similarly, you probably won't have enough time to go back and read the SAT's reading passages for every question. Washington DC SAT tutors can show you active reading techniques such as note-taking to help you retain more of what you read the first time. You can read the questions before their associated passage to get a sense of exactly what you're searching for.
Likewise, working from an outline can be a great way to approach your Essay. It may seem like a bad idea to spend some of your 50 minutes on something that won't be graded, but following an outline can make it easier to produce a cohesive piece of writing with a clear focus on what the graders are looking for. It can save you time in the long run, as you'll have something to refer back to in case writer's block strikes.
You can even take practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions during your Washington DC SAT tutoring sessions to get a sense of what the assessment might be like beforehand. Experiencing how long you have to finish first hand can make it easier to budget your time appropriately. If you're dealing with test anxiety, understanding the test's formatting may help alleviate it. You can review your responses with your instructor to help you understand why you missed some of the practice questions.
