[00:00] (0.32s)
Raise your SAT by 270 points or more.
[00:05] (5.04s)
The summer strategy they don't want you
[00:07] (7.36s)
to know. Let's talk about a topic most
[00:09] (9.52s)
students dread. Summer test prep. I
[00:12] (12.08s)
know. I know you'd rather be anywhere
[00:14] (14.88s)
but studying for the SAT or ACT during
[00:17] (17.76s)
your summer break. But hear me out.
[00:19] (19.92s)
Summer is actually the perfect time to
[00:22] (22.64s)
conquer these tests. And I want to tell
[00:24] (24.24s)
you why. During the school year, you're
[00:26] (26.48s)
juggling classes, homeworks,
[00:29] (29.00s)
extracurriculars, and more. Your brain
[00:31] (31.76s)
is scattered across a dozen different
[00:34] (34.56s)
subjects and responsibilities. But
[00:37] (37.04s)
summer, you have the gift of focus. And
[00:40] (40.24s)
the focus is the secret weapon of
[00:43] (43.08s)
successful test prep. Here's the
[00:45] (45.52s)
strategy my students use to dramatically
[00:48] (48.48s)
improve their scores while still
[00:50] (50.88s)
enjoying summer. First take a diagnostic
[00:54] (54.24s)
test to understand your starting point.
[00:56] (56.80s)
Identify your weaknesses. Is algebra,
[00:59] (59.68s)
reading comprehension, science,
[01:02] (62.04s)
reasoning. Second, create a consistent
[01:04] (64.48s)
study schedule, but keep it reasonable.
[01:06] (66.72s)
2 hours a day, 4 days a week is my sweet
[01:10] (70.00s)
spot recommendation. Early morning works
[01:13] (73.36s)
best for most students, leaving
[01:15] (75.04s)
afternoons free. Third, use spaced
[01:18] (78.80s)
repetition. Don't cram. Space out your
[01:21] (81.36s)
practice over the entire summer,
[01:22] (82.88s)
focusing on your weak areas
[01:24] (84.96s)
consistently. My student David raised
[01:27] (87.28s)
his SAT by over 270 points using this
[01:31] (91.36s)
summer approach. Maria improved her ACT
[01:34] (94.48s)
by six points. Both got into their dream
[01:37] (97.52s)
schools. The students who fail at summer
[01:40] (100.08s)
test prep try to cram eight hour study
[01:42] (102.24s)
days or push everything to the last two
[01:44] (104.56s)
weeks of August. Be strategic. Be
[01:48] (108.16s)
consistent. and watch your score rise
[01:50] (110.32s)
while still having time for summer
