If you cannot solve an official SAT math problem in 30 seconds or less, chances are that you are not thinking
outside of the box. All roads lead to Rome, but the College Board
(the maker of SAT) wants to distinguish you from an average test taker
by testing whether you can solve the problems in the ways that are not normally practiced at your school.
As you move from the easier problems to
more difficult ones in the later part on the session, the 30-second way to solve the
problems becomes increasingly unnatural to most test takers. We
will unlock the secret of finding the unusual 30-second ways to you, so
it will become an instinct to you before you take the
test.
The speed is crucial on the SAT, GMAT, GRE, and other standardized tests.
You have a little more than one minute per question on average
(78 seconds per question on the SAT). You want to spend 30 seconds or
less on easier questions in order to have more time on the difficult ones.
In fact, we have found that almost all official math questions can be solved in 30
seconds or less. It does take more than 30 seconds or even
60 seconds to solve a few tough GMAT Math problems.
Another reason that you want to be able to solve any SAT math
problem in 30 seconds or less is that people do make mistakes. Because we can solve problems fast, we have the time to check our answers
and be able to correct any mistakes. This is why our students had the perfect score that they did not even ask for.
We use our exclusive strategies
in private tutoring. We measure the effectiveness of the strategies not only by the accuracy but also by the
speed at which students solve the problems. Take the example
of this word problem:
Jen paints the barn alone in 4 hours & Jim in 6 hours. How long
does it take them to do the work together?
Using our new invention -- Word Problem Solving Apparatus, our SAT Math prep students
can understand the nature of the problem quickly with great ease.
Furthermore, all our students can get the correct answer of such work
related word problems in 30 seconds or less.
After further practice, our students are able to solve correctly the
following problem in 30 seconds or less:
Two
cyclists start from Paris and ride in opposite directions. The speed of
the first cyclist is six less than twice the speed of the second
cyclist. In four hours they are 96 miles apart. What is the speed of the
first cyclist?
The key to increase your speed is to develop critical thinking skills that you can
use in your lifetime. When you learn to solve one problem quickly, we
help you learn to solve a new problem quickly too. This is because we
emphasize on looking at the problems in different ways, thinking in
different ways, and then solving them in the fastest and most accurate
way among available methods. We also show the connections among
seemingly different problems so that you can easily use the same
strategies to solve different problems.
After students learn critical thinking skills, a perfect SAT
Math score is just a natural by-product of our training, which is nice
to have.
