AL/McDonald/Aug25/1590
My first mock exam score of 1230 was a wake-up call. I was aghast that the SAT had bested me so thoroughly, and I began the program equally hopeful for improvement and skeptical that it could offer something truly unique beyond free resources. That skepticism was completely put to rest on the very first day. Dr. Li's math methodology was a revelation, fundamentally changing my approach by breaking my heavy reliance on a calculator—a skill I'm grateful for beyond the test itself! The reading and writing curriculum was equally impressive, with each lesson meticulously tailored to mirror the exact challenges of the latest digital SAT. In fact, every reading and writing lesson seemed to be directly applicable to the actual digital SAT with uncanny accuracy!
Perhaps the most significant aspect for me was the focus on test-taking efficiency. The program’s core tips for time management were invaluable, granting me the confidence and pace to not only complete every section but to thoroughly review my answers. The core tips and strategies were so effective that I not only finished every section on the actual exam with time to spare but also had precious minutes to double-check my work; during the actual exam, I clearly remember using those final minutes to catch and correct mistakes! Whew.
Furthermore, the program’s proprietary mock exams were, in my opinion, unparalleled. The unique twist they incorporated (which I won't spoil!) made the real SAT feel easier by comparison! Their abundant practice packets, of course, were also invaluable for targeted skill-building.
This comprehensive approach was the definitive factor in my success. The program’s up-to-date material, expert instruction, and strategic practice provided a foundation of confidence and skill that allowed my score to improve dramatically. The numbers do not lie: I ended up with a score of 1590. I am incredibly grateful for the experience and couldn't be happier with the results!
