GETTING
A HEAD START
Math:
Note – On the
first day of class, we will give you a copy of Mr
K’s book,
The New Math SAT Game Plan. For now, while you are getting a
head start, the three chapters that you need are posted as a PDF file
back at our home page.
1. In The
New Math SAT Game Plan, read Lesson #1 on pages 17 – 32. Then, play with the on-line interactive
math strategy guide to see what you should be answering and what you
should be omitting. The strategy
guide is located HERE.
2. Also in The New Math SAT Game Plan, carefully read lessons #2 and #3
on pages 33 – 49 and try to work through the exercises.
Verbal:
1. It is still an undeniable reality: improving your vocabulary raises your
SAT score. And, since time is of
the essence, Carol has compiled a SHORT list of vital words. In addition, she has recommendations
for how to study the list and what else you can do to build your
vocabulary quickly. The list and
recommendations are posted in HERE, in
a Microsoft word file.
2. As you prepare for the writing test
(both PSAT and SAT), Carol
will be teaching you 14 essential rules in class, but it would be a good
idea to review them in advance.
Don’t worry if there are some that you don’t understand right away
– Carol will help you with these during the course. The rules are posted HERE.
