What Gets Measured, Gets Done: The Critical SAT Success Secret Holding Your Child's Score Back
As an elite SAT tutor with over a decade of experience, I've discovered a key element of test prep that often makes the difference between modest and exceptional score gains. It's not more practice tests, question banks, or vocabulary lists—it's effective, measurable study.
An Overlooked Cornerstone of SAT Prep
Most test prep is heavily focused on doing practice questions and practice tests. While practice is an essential component of effective prep, without the right foundation, much of this effort can be wasted. Here's why:
The primary purpose of practice is often misunderstood. Simply completing practice questions accomplishes very little on its own.
The real point of practice is to learn to apply specific techniques—on the SAT, that means strategies. Without this vital element, you're essentially taking shots in the dark or, even worse, reinforcing bad habits.
Here's a truth that too often gets lost in the test prep shuffle: rigorous study—including thorough learning and, yes, even 'rote' memorization (gasp!) of strategies, tactics, and rules—is crucial for SAT success.
Yet the study element is often the most neglected part of test preparation. Why? Because unlike practice questions, which provide instant feedback, study doesn't offer immediate gratification. It requires discipline and persistence, qualities that can be challenging to maintain without the right support system.
The Solution: Measured, Accountable Study
I've addressed this challenge by adding a crucial measurement component to the study portion of test prep. By leveraging a tech platform that automates timed, graded quizzes and assessments throughout the prep process, I’m now able to provide students with:
1. Instant feedback on their understanding
2. A sense of accomplishment as they progress
3. Clear indicators of areas needing more focus
Plus, parents receive automated emails with results, adding an extra layer of accountability.
This approach transforms the often-dreaded 'study' phase into a dynamic, engaging process that significantly contributes to score gains.

My new online course takes this measurement-focused approach to the next level. It doesn't just measure study progress—it tracks and provides feedback on every aspect of test prep:

This comprehensive approach makes test prep more efficient and effective. And for those who choose the LIVE version, I'm there to provide expert guidance on any challenging concepts or questions.
