"Hey Rob,
I just wanted to reach out to you and say THANK YOU for all of your help preparing me to do well on my standardized tests. Before I came to you I was struggling getting my test scores into the upper ranges, but after I completed your video series, got feedback on my essays, and took more tests I got scores in the 99% for both the SAT and ACT.
Ultimately, after the long and stressful college admissions process, I narrowed my two options for college down to Harvard and Yale, and I decided to commit to Yale University. Although I have always been strong in school and extracurriculars, I really feel like your assistance put me over the edge and played a role in my admission into some of the world’s best colleges. I have recommended you to many of my friends and teachers at school because I truly believe you are an amazing tutor with so much to offer.
Thanks again so much and I wish you the best of luck in your future!"

What You'll Learn
This course covers the SAT Reading test in exhaustive depth - every strategy, every tip, and every tactic for beating the test and increasing your score. I also work through ten REAL SAT Reading tests in this course so you can see exactly how these strategies are applied to real SAT questions. In this course you will learn
- The core strategy for tackling reading passages in the most efficient and effective way possible.
- Key skills necessary for Reading mastery, including Paraphrasing, Identifying Trap Answers, Managing Time, Inference, and Attacking Hard Questions.
- How to conquer the dreaded Dual Passage Reading.
- What you should be doing with your pencil - and why not doing it can harm your score.
- When and how to read the passages, and the optimal order for attacking the questions (hint: doing them in order 1, 2, 3, 4... is almost always wrong!).
- What to do when you get stuck between two choices that both seem right - only ONE is correct, and you'll learn how to identify the right answer and eliminate the wrong one.
- How to identify the eleven trap answers that are ingeniously designed by the College Board to attract you to your peril, and how to avoid and eliminate them.
- How to manage vocabulary words and shades of meaning.
- How to solve the "two part" questions that require you to find specific lines of evidence in the text to support your answer to a previous question. These can be tricky!
- How to work through 40 real SAT Reading passages - watch me attack the passages question-by-question in real time.
- and so much more!
