Very good. We did 4 sections, Rowan is much improved from when I first worked with him. Is reading tables and graphs better. Would have scored well, perhaps 27-30 range, had he taken science today. Spoke with dad, plans for one more. Doesn't really need two. Great attitude as always.

Lesson Comments
Declan remembered most of the strategies for doing well on the writing section but had a little trouble applying them when we did a practice essay. He was definitely in a hurry to get through it, and consequently didn't do a good job of developing his ideas and writing clearly. I stressed slowing down and making sure his ideas and writing were easy to follow. This is one of his weaker areas, but he has improved a great deal since we started.

Declan did a really solid job today. He doesn't remember all of the actual rules of grammar, but he does recognize the issues and did a great job on the practice drills. I told him to review the rules to refresh them in his mind. I think he's in solid shape.

Declan had one of his best days since we started working together. He wrote organized and wrote introductions for 3 prompts, all of which were very clear and well thought out. He then did two sections of reading comprehension and only missed a total of five, which is a vast improvement.

Declan worked through a practice grammar section and did very well. He's eliminated a lot of the silly mistakes and is now reading the questions and answers more carefully. I'm very pleased with his progress.
