SAT reading
In 2009 I trained and worked with Kaplan Test Prep. Since then, I've worked with more than 50 SAT students, always seeing their scores improve, typically by 100 points in each of Reading and Writing. One of my students scored a perfect 800 on Reading. The SAT has dramatically changed (as of March 2016), I have training, materials, and extensive practice for the new format. In addition, I have experience preparing students for the Redesigned SAT.
SAT writing
In 2009 I trained and worked with Kaplan Test Prep. Since then, I've worked with more than 50 SAT students, always seeing their scores improve, typically by 100 points in each of Reading and Writing. Several of my students have scored in the high 700s on Writing. The Redesigned SAT is here (as of March 2016). The changes affect the Writing and Essay sections dramatically. It's important to know that I have training, and materials for this new format, as well as extensive practice with it. In addition, I already have experience preparing students for this "new" test.
