What do the Skills & Strategies classes cover?

Students start by learning the overarching skills and strategies that allow them to navigate the SAT and ACT more effectively, then dive deeper into the nuances of the test. This includes, but is not limited to:​

​

• Gaining insights into how the exam makers design test questions, which allows students to stay one step ahead. 

• Developing a plan of attack when it comes to reading and annotating passages, understanding questions, and navigating distracting answer choices on the Reading section.

• Learning the fundamental skills and nuanced language rules that are necessary to succeed on the Writing section.

• Understanding best patterns and practices for the notoriously tricky questions and strenuous pacing of the Math section.

• Diving into what "Science" means on standardized tests, and how to understand what those questions are actually asking of students.

• Identifying a time management and pacing strategy that enables students to not only survive, but thrive during a 3 hour exam! 

Will my student take practice tests?

In addition to live classroom time, students will have access to unlimited practice tests. Every test they take will be scored, reviewed, and analyzed by Marigold Prep, and every family will receive a data-driven report with detailed and personalized feedback.
