SAT Exam

November 18th 2007 16:24

A popular SAT misconception is that the math is very complex. However, this is just not true. The math on the SAT is very basic. It consists of arithmetic, algebra I, geometry and algebra II. There is no trigonometry, no precalculus and definitely no calculus.

But, that doesn't mean the problems are straight forward. Many of the math problems will require multiple steps, some will be designed to confuse you and many will be outright puzzles. That's right, several of the SAT math problems are puzzles constructed to test your ability to find a solution not your math skills.

So, the best way to prepare for the SAT is to get real SAT questions and practice solving them. You must get a feel for the type of math questions that are on the SAT. These questions will not resemble the problems you are use to solving in your math classes.

But, remember the SAT is a standardized test and the problems will be similar from year to year. This means you can practice for the SAT using past test problems. So, obtain some practice tests and start practicing.

In order to help you with your practice time here are some coaching tips:

Tip #1 Study Guide

The only SAT study guide you need is The Official SAT Study Guide written by the College Board. It's written by the very organization that writes the test. Which means it is the only study guide with true SAT questions. It contains eight practice tests with score keys, which is more than enough for practice problems and practice testing.

Tip #2 Know the Directions

Once you have your study guide get to know the book. Read the table of contents, flip through some of the chapters and read chapters about the different math tests.

Most importantly, you need to read the directions for each math test and know them. If you know the directions prior to test day then you don't have to waste time reading the directions during the test.

Tip #3 Recognize the Similarities

Now the real work begins. Starting with test one go through the math sections of every test and begin to notice the similarities in the types of problems. Don't do any of the problems yet. Just notice how the problems are similar. You should notice that many of the problems follow the same format and therefore are solved in the same manner. This is why practicing is so important.

Tip #4 Correct Your Mistakes

Choose four of the tests in your study guide to use as practice problems and do at least three problems each day. Try to solve each one on your own and check to see how you did. Seek out help for the problems you missed so you can learn from your mistakes. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. If you correct your mistakes, it is the best way to learn.

Tip #5 Notice Patterns

As you work out the SAT problems from different tests, look for patterns that show up in similar types of problems. By learning to recognize patterns that are used repeatedly you can save time solving similar problems. Yes, there will be patterns. It's unavoidable on a standardized test.

Tip #6 Learn to Use Your Calculator

Since you are allowed to use a calculator, why not learn to use it correctly. Either sit down with the manual or get a tutor to help you make the most of your calculator. Then use the calculator every time you practice or take a practice test.

I recommend the TI-83, TI-84 or TI-30A. But the choice is up to you.

Tip#7 Review Math Basics

If you find, you are having a hard time recognizing certain math concepts then you might need to brush up on certain skills. Math skills that are a must:

*fractions both simple and complex
*percents and decimals
*reading charts and graphs
*basic algebra
*slope
*coordinate graphing
*quadratics
*plane geometry
*absolute value

Computer Software Training

November 9th 2007 16:16

When you attend training, what do you get? Well, what you paid for, of course. But what if you find that you have paid for the wrong track? Or you found that the course is too easy for you? How easy is it for you to switch to another course then? Do you have to wait for a few days? Weeks? Or indefinitely? Do you have to tolerate all that basic stuff till near the end of the course duration and get what you came for? Can you ask the instructor to skip topics when the rest of the class seems to be junior at it? Is the trainer willing to give you more than what is beyond the paid course contents? Just how much more? Do you have to worry about sitting for tests at the end of the lesson that seem to test your language more than your skills? Wait! Does that classroom air-condition temperature seem perpetually freezing? Or like in the oven?

Why do I raise these issues? The simple answer is - they are the constant frustrations of classroom training attendees I hear time and time again. Chances are, you faced some or all of these issues yourself. Software trainers with some years of experience report the feedback on course structure, targeted content and administrative ease, contain these disappointing remarks. It is true that flexibility, targeted contents and practicality play significant roles on the impact of the entire course - not just the experience and proficiency of the trainer. And there is the test or examination factor. For many of these attendees who came for knowledge, the test or exam factor actually shortchanged them of course hours, more hands-on and a conducive learning atmosphere. Adding on, some examination systems seem to take an eternity to log on to, owing to server delays, network traffic or bad programming. In short, participants do not get the satisfaction and objective they hoped for. It is a one-size-fits-all solution with limited or no repeat broadcast. Refresher sessions a few months down the road are virtually non-existent. Or it comes with a reluctant 'yes' on the provider's part (after much convincing on the trainees' part), along with a hefty 'token' fee
