The goal of this course is to practice the types of questions that will be asked on the SAT and practice test-taking strategies designed to raise students' scores. Students will learn about time management and the benefits of taking an educated guess. Last, students will review skills learned in prior or current math classes and the best way to approach the exam based on their individual skills. As students become more familiar with the test and practice test-taking strategies, their confidence and scores are sure to grow! Students MUST respond to the survey sent in the week prior to taking the course in order to incorporate appropriate practice problems in the class - their intended test-taking dates will inform the level of paper-based and/ or
computer-based practice problems used in the class. Additionally, students should bring a computer to each class with the SAT Bluebook Application downloaded prior to the first class, and bring the graphing calculator they will use on test day.
Mr. Lewis is an 8th year math teacher at Lincoln-Sudbury. He has experience teaching math with students across a variety of subjects and ability levels - including all "core" math subjects - and experience with tutoring students individually and in a small-group setting. Outside of school, he enjoys hockey, reading, rollerblading, gardening, and hanging with his dog. He's looking forward to helping students prepare for and boost their scores on the SAT!
