What Sets Abelson Test Prep Apart?
WE TEACH!
We do not simply hand out questions and ask the student to complete them.
We teach how each question is constructed.
We teach the student to recognize the distractor (wrong answer) thus improving the understanding of how the questions are put together.
This leads to the correct answer and a greatly improved score.
Students Will Learn:
How to attack each question type.
Successful navigation of the math domain on the “No Calculator” section of the SAT.
Proprietary Reading Strategies that WILL DEFEAT the Reading Questions on the SAT.
Dynamic Teaching with full student participation.
Practice with Real Tests.
How to manage their time on the SAT / ACT.
Boost Test-Taking Confidence.
