“I feel like I finally understand math for the first time in my life. Thank you for being so patient with me and for the extra advice on Friday. I was still kind of nervous when I took the test, but I used all of the strategies we went over, and I didn’t feel like anything was a surprise. I actually finished the no-calculator section a few minutes early, which is amazing considering I used to run out of time. Thank you so much again. I’m really proud of my 690, especially considering I got a 550 the first time.”

“It seems so easy now – I can’t believe I used to get confused by these questions. You guys did an awesome job explaining everything, especially word problems and trig. And it wasn’t boring!”

“Thank you so much. I had no idea what to do for my Common App or supplements and kept writing drafts that I wasn’t happy with. You helped me understand what admissions officers look for when they read students’ personal statements and how I had a unique story to tell. I’m positive my essays helped me get into Brown, and I feel much more confident in my writing ability now than I did before. Thank you!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Mastering SAT Math is designed for students who want to head into the test with a proven, step-by-step game plan for every question they’re going to encounter, from confusing algebra word problems to tricky geometry and trigonometry questions.
Approximately seventy percent of the students are rising high school juniors or students currently in 11th grade. Many 10th graders participate in Mastering SAT Math during the spring of their sophomore year or during the summer prior to their junior year. Approximately 15% of the participants are in 9th grade and 15% of the students are rising seniors.

No, this course is exclusively devoted to content, strategies, and shortcuts for SAT Math. 

Our course instructor is a renowned expert in the field of test preparation and has sterling academic credentials. But much more importantly, the instructor who will be leading your student is patient, funny, nurturing and 100% dedicated to his students. Since 2006, he has coached thousands of students to reach their highest potential on the SAT.

The tuition is $1,299 per student.
The enrollment is limited to 8 students per class. From the very first session, we foster a collaborative learning environment so that students feel comfortable posing and answering questions.

We calculate score improvement data based on the improvement from each student’s starting score (on an official SAT or on our pre-course diagnostic) to each student’s post-course score (on the official SAT or on our post-course diagnostic). 

Students whose starting scores range from 500 to 550, inclusive, improve an average of 130 points. 

Students whose starting scores range from 560 to 600, inclusive, improve an average of 100 points. 

Students whose starting scores range from 610 to 650, inclusive, improve an average of 70 points.

Students whose starting scores range from 660 to 700, inclusive, improve an average of 50 points. 

Students whose starting scores range from 710 to 750, inclusive, improve an average of 30 points.

We do not recommend Mastering SAT Math for students whose existing SAT Math score is 760 or higher.

First, by keeping students highly engaged! Many students come to Mastering SAT Math wishing that algebra didn’t exist and that they would never have to see another italicized x or y the rest of their life. And who can blame them? Math can be incredibly intimidating, especially when students have to answer questions under the pressure of a ticking clock. Therefore, when we teach math, we do so with patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of how students learn. We use the latest technology to illustrate how to crack every math problem on the SAT, leading students through step-by-step solutions until they feel empowered to solve every problem on their own.

Both. For example, when we cover tricky SAT algebra problems, we make sure students understand the math concepts underlying those problems, and then we teach them shortcuts and strategies, including tips for avoiding sneaky trap answers.

While most of Mastering SAT Math’s participants have taken a practice SAT or the PSAT, many students have not yet taken an official SAT exam. This course is designed for two types of students: those who have yet to take the SAT but believe they will need substantial help in math and those who have already taken the SAT and are looking to significantly improve their existing math score.
