SAT Math

In order to better prepare the student for the math portion of the SAT test, Tutor Zone has compiled a variety of topics, which reflect questions on the test.  Throughout the eight sessions of the course, students will be exposed to each of these topics and practices specific problems pulled straight from past tests.  Simultaneously, students will learn practical test taking strategies and important SAT information that will give them a competitive edge when taking the course.  The outline below illustrates what topics will be covered during which session.
