The ExpertRating Online SAT Test Preparation Course-II
(leading to ExpertRating SAT Preparation
Certification-II).
Making
the decision to attend college is probably one of the most important
decisions you’ll ever make, and your performance on college entrance
exams is instrumental in determining your college choice.
Universities and colleges throughout the U.S. require applicants to
take the SAT or ACT as part of their evaluation package. This course
will prepare you for both tests.
Both the ACT and the SAT contain verbal and math question types.
SAT/ACT Preparation Part 2 will give you all the information you
need to do well on the math questions of the ACT and the SAT. The
ACT math tests your knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry,
trigonometry, and basic statistics. This course provides you with a
complete math review of all these subjects. We‘ll also show you how
to use your time wisely so that you finish as many math questions as
possible in the 60 minutes the ACT gives you for the math test.
Beginning with the March 2005 exam, the SAT math questions have
changed a bit. They eliminated the quantitative comparison questions
and added questions on functions and graphing functions. The lessons
in this course are designed to prepare you for those changes. In
addition to reviewing arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and basic
statistics, we'll cover functions and other algebra II subjects now
tested on the SAT.
In addition to preparing you for specific question types on both
exams, this course will give you pointers on time management,
anxiety relief, scoring, and general standardized test-taking.
Weekly assignments encourage you to work with your fellow classmates
and your instructor to maximize your performance on all aspects of
the math questions of the ACT and SAT. Taken with Part 1, this
course will prepare you to excel in all sections of the
undergraduate college entrance exams and provide you with the means
to achieve your best potential score!
This course includes a knowledgeable and
caring instructor who will guide you through your lessons,
facilitate discussions, and answer your questions. The instructor
for this course will be Scott and Lisa Hatch.

ExpertRating Online SAT Test Preparation Course-II
Coverage (6 weeks program)
Week One |
Wednesday - Lesson 01 |
|
You may have
heard that you can’t study for the ACT or SAT.
But that’s just not true! There are a bunch of
things you can do to prepare for the ACT and
SAT, and the more time you spend preparing, the
better your scores will be. This first lesson
will go over all the things you need to know
about the general makeup of both the ACT and SAT
so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting into
come test day. You’ll learn how to relax when
you start feeling panicky, how to eliminate the
wrong answers that the tests try to entice you
into choosing, how to guess when you aren't sure
of the right answer, and how much time to spend
on each question. And, if you aren't familiar
with the kinds of questions that test your math
skills, you’ll know exactly what to expect once
you’ve completed this lesson. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 02 |
|
You learned
arithmetic in grade school, but you may have
forgotten some of the basics that you’ll see on
the ACT and SAT math tests. So you'll spend some
time here in your second lesson on a review of
the essentials. In this lesson you'll go over a
few of the things you probably remember—like how
to perform multiplication and division—as well
as some of the things that might be a little
fuzzy, like exponents and fractions.
|
|
|
Week Two |
Wednesday - Lesson 03 |
|
The ACT has
always had a few algebra II questions, and in
2005, the SAT joined its ranks. So, in addition
to a review of standard algebra, this lesson
will also review some algebra II topics. This
lesson will go over variables, factoring,
functions, and a host of other challenging
topics so that you'll know exactly what you need
to answer the many algebra-related questions on
both tests. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 04 |
|
Geometry is a big
component of the ACT and SAT math questions, so
Lesson 4 will make sure you’re prepared for it.
This lesson will go over the properties of
angles, triangles, squares, circles, and other
shapes so that you can answer questions that ask
for pesky measurements. It'll also cover
coordinate geometry and throw in some valuable
information about graphing functions so you’ll
be ready for all sorts of geometry when you sit
for the ACT and SAT. |
|
|
Week Three |
Wednesday - Lesson 05- |
|
This lesson is
for ACT takers only because SAT takers won’t
need to know trigonometry. It'll cover many of
the key trigonometry topics, including sine,
cosine, and tangent and the trigonometric
reciprocals. This lesson will also review how to
use trigonometry to solve right triangles and
even oblique ones. After this lesson, you’ll
have all the information you need to solve trig
questions for the ACT. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 06 |
|
You don’t have to
take a statistics class to master the concepts that
the ACT and SAT will test you on. Most of the
statistics and probability questions on these tests
are pretty basic. This lesson will make sure you’re
prepared for them all. By the time you’re finished,
you’ll have reviewed everything you need to know
about tendency, frequency, and probability to ace
the ACT and SAT. |
|
Week Four |
Wednesday - Lesson 07 |
|
By now,
you're probably ready to try out the math
concepts you’ve reviewed so far. So in
Lesson 7, you'll get a chance to test
yourself. This lesson will start with an
overview of what you can expect to see on
the ACT math test. Then it'll focus on the
kinds of math questions you’ll encounter on
the ACT, especially those that cover math
basics and algebra. This lesson will go
through 30 practice questions to show you
exactly how to approach and master the ACT
arithmetic and algebra questions. |
|
|
|
Friday - Lesson 08 |
|
They say that
practice makes perfect, so in this lesson,
you'll get more opportunities to reach
perfection! Through this lesson’s analysis of 30
more practice questions, you’ll see just how to
approach and correctly answer the geometry,
trigonometry, and algebra II questions on the
ACT. Once you’ve gone through the answer
explanations in this lesson, you’ll feel
confident about tackling any ACT math question
that comes your way. |
|
|
Week Five |
Wednesday - Lesson 09 |
|
The SAT math test
sections look a little different than what
you'll see on the ACT. There are three sets of
math questions. Some are the standard
multiple-choice math questions, and some aren't.
Lesson 9 will go over exactly what you should
expect on the SAT math, and then you'll get some
practice by examining 13 practice SAT math
questions. Just like when the lesson’s talked
about the ACT, you'll get thorough explanations
of exactly how to deal with the types of SAT
math questions. |
|
|
Friday - Lesson 10 |
|
Lesson 10 will
focus on the most common type of SAT math
question you'll see—the multiple-choice
question. Through a thorough examination of one
complete SAT math section, you'll find out how
to work through all kinds of multiple-choice
math. You’ll be whipping through the answer
choices in no time! |
|
|
Week Six |
Wednesday - Lesson 11 |
|
The SAT student
produced response (SPR) questions don’t appear
on any other major standardized test, so you may
not be familiar with how to deal with them.
That’s what this lesson is all about. In lesson
11, you'll get the scoop on how to answer math
questions that don’t give you answer choices to
choose from, and you'll find out how to avoid
making errors when you fill in the answer on the
answer sheet. It’s a very simple process to grid
in your answers, but this lesson will show you
just how simple by thoroughly explaining the
approach to 10 SAT SPR questions. |
