Know where to look for an answer in the passage.

Pick the correct answer from given choices.

Description

This is a comprehensive course that will teach you how to score perfectly on the reading section of the paper based SAT.

You will learn how to connect the passage, questions, and answers in order to pick the right answer every time. I have helped students who have tried expensive prep courses but been unable to improve on their reading - even some of my 9th grade students have scored perfectly on the SAT.

All you need to complete this course is a determination to succeed and a copy of the official practice tests from the College Board website. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping my students achieve their goals. Let me help you achieve yours!


Note, this course is for the paper based SAT. If you are an international student, you will probably be taking the Digital SAT from March 2023 onwards. If you are preparing for the PSAT, you will also be taking the Digital SAT in 2023. Please take my digital SAT course instead by searching for "Digital SAT". My Digital SAT course includes lessons for the entire new verbal section, including the reading, vocabulary, and grammar sections.

This course should only be taken by people taking the SAT in the United States in 2023.

I really liked on how he has broken down everything that is included in the reading and is clearly explaining his thoughts as he gives examples and answers questions.

I really love how he gives us tips and examples, this is very helpful since reading the whole passage is something engrained in students from the very beginning.

course is confusing, doesn't give many examples or good tips. shouldn't waste your money on this while khan academy is free and gives more help

I like how the videos in Udemy are short but provide concise explanations for the tips and tricks for the SAT

The tips were too broad and there was no explicit tip regarding his experience. Same type of lesson and tips you would get by just searching in YouTube.

I took a $200 Princeton Review course. This gives more accurate and detailed info about the actual SAT than "Princeton Review" version of SAT

Good course, all the subjects of the reading section are present. A very competent teacher and diversified ways to learn. Practice is missing. The audio quality is not the best. However it was helpful :)

Reading section was definitely something that was a little bit iffy for me, but with this, the simple strategies taught, IF WELL PRACTICED, could definitely get you to that high score!

Yes, this video showed me methods in which I wouldn't have ever thought of. It really helps open my eyes to the ways to answer direct questions.

The course promises more than it can deliver. The title is misleading 'Guaranteed Results' lead me to think 800 score is guaranteed. That's not what it is saying. It's saying that results will be improved, and hopefully you can score high enough to get 800 (hopefully). In truth, it needs to have a tighter composition. There are conflicts in certain areas such as 'Don't read the entire thing. Your mind will be thinking over there, but your question answer is over here' and then later 'You need to read everything, actively! It is the active reading that will give you the overall thought'. After doing a practice exam, you need to read everything. The questions that point the exam taker to a specific number also ask the exam taker what the main idea of the passage is. The author admits in several areas things like 'It's rare that you will have the exact same idea as the college board'. I agree, but let the viewer know that he or she can get 80% or more right if they use the strategies. The strategies are good, but there is a margin of error which could prevent the the exam taker from making a perfect score. It's always easier to track backwards up and see where the College Board thought meant from the passage. However, going down, like any exam taker, it is a guess between two very probable possibilities. Getting a perfect score is a matter of chance. There aren't going to be 'tightly connected answers'. This is the primary reason this course got below 4 stars. The instructor knows what the answer is to each sample problem and so has fashioned the approach to the problem to match the answer. The course would be more meaningful if the instructor tried a random SAT reading test with his strategy and then explained why his responses were different than the College Boards'. The test responses he provided can be seen directly at the Khan Academy. It's a lot easier to be confident and teach a solution to a known problem and solution set. I would like to see the strategy seen applied to a brand new exam, one in which anyone taking a standardized test like the SAT would get. Obviously if you know the College Board's answers to an example exam, you can easily come up with them to the public. It's like a stage magician.

It's a waste of money. Spend this money to buy a book and download the practice test on college board. Trust me, waste of money, didn't learn anything. Too basic.
