Haley and I completed three reading comprehension passages with discussion of incorrect answers and concepts. Haley does better on the nonfiction (science and history) passages than the narrative ones. The questions that require implications about characterization and character or author purpose tend to stump her. We were also able to complete some English grammar exercises. Haley is very strong in this area.

Ryan, Jeff and I went through reading comprehension passages ad English grammar sections from our SAT books. We discussed last minute strategies for the ACT before their test. I believe they will both do well, most likely better than the last test. They seem to like the SAT better, so after this, we give the next SAT another go. :)

We started this practice exam in our last session. We were able to complete the remaining 40 questions to finish the exam.

I worked with Julia on several problems including some problems dealing with analysis of graphs, solutions of linear systems in two equations, and algebraic manipulation. We also worked on strategies for certain types of problems which are found on all SAT tests. Finally, I explained where certain problems were not worth the extensive time required to complete them and should be skipped. There was no assignment.

Julia and I went through some problems in the practice text for SAT questions. Although she intends to take the ACT exam in July, we are using the SAT book she brought, which should still provide good preparation. Most of the problems were easily understood by Julia but one or two problems had difficult explanations and so I advised her to skip them on her test. There was no assignment.

We talked about the differences between SAT and ACT . We discussed when to take an educated guess and how to make a complete guess. We finished about 75 percent of the math exam.

We completed 90 percent of a 2018 SAT practice exam. We talked a lot about test strategies and what are the most tested concepts on the exam. They did not have a lot of time to prepare for the exam but in the two sessions I felt they showed definite improvement.

I guided Julia through various problems based on similar problems from the actual SAT. We worked on problems requiring solutions of systems of equations, graph interpretation, and basic trigonometry. There was no assignment.

Our activity focused on SAT noncalculator problems and test strategies.

I demonstrated solutions to problems including compound interest amounts, graph interpretations, algebra and geometry. There were two types of problems that I recommended skipping to be guessed on later. Julia was able to follow my explanations of how to approach the various types of problems.
There was no assignment.
