The student and I went over science (working on "shortcuts") and math, focusing as usual on pacing strategies. We also did a bit of the other two sections. Getting science and reading pacing up without sacrificing accuracy is a priority.

Worked with student 1 on percentages, proportions, and probability. He's doing a lot better. His trouble with percentages comes from not setting up a problem correctly. He does very well once he slows down. Worked with student 2 on word problems involving multiplication and division. She usually does well, but missed quite a few due to overconfidence. Once the questions were presented to her again, she got them right without a problem or need for assistance.

Reviewed the student's practice test and went over the questions he missed. We had a little time left over after that, so we worked on building his vocabulary. The student understands the concepts very well and is a quick learner. I think most of our work will focus on improving his confidence and practicing so that he can build both speed and accuracy. We will also focus on building his vocabulary, as that is holding him back on the Critical Reading section. He is a smart kid and is preparing far in advance so I think he has a good shot at being a National Merit Scholar.

The student and I reviewed for her upcoming geometry test and went over review sheets that her teacher gave out. She knows the formulas for finding area and perimeter but needs to be more attentive when she reads the problem. She remembered how to solve the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles. I've tried to help her get comfortable using fractions and reducing them. While she is still not completely comfortable, she is better and is starting to use them more frequently without my assistance.

Over the weekend, the student took a progress Diagnostic Test. I was given the results and the incorrect questions. So we started off the session going over every incorrect question. She only missed one from Math, so all the questions we went over was Reading and Writing. The Sections we went over included 2, 5, 7, and 9. We wrote what she could have done to avoid the mistake next to every question. Afterwards, she took Section 9 of Old SAT Test 8 (timed). For HW, I assigned the Pre-Test in the SAT Writing Workbook.
