What Makes Our Course Different?
Most tutors or test prep companies have students take practice tests and only review the questions that they answer incorrectly. The problem with that approach is that students never learn the proper strategies to read passages and answer questions. To achieve a great score on the SAT Reading Test, you need to fully understand how the test works, how to best attack it, and how to use the patterns of the test to your advantage.
Our course offers the most comprehensive instruction that teaches students everything they need to know about the SAT Reading Test. In this course, students the 5 most effective approaches to use when reading the passages, how to spot and approach the 13 types of questions, the 5 common incorrect answers to avoid, expert tips to manage time, and much much more. After completing this course, students will have the knowledge and confidence to post their best score ever on test day.
The 4 Pillars of Our Course
1. Master All 13 Question Types
By learning how to spot and approach the 13 types of question on the SAT Reading, students develop a thorough understanding of how to best mentally approach each question to find the correct answer. Each type of question is discussed in-depth in lectures, and students complete many practice questions to learn how to properly apply the concepts. After mastering each question type, students have the knowledge to assess why each answer choice is correct or incorrect and can efficiently answer questions correctly.
2. Take Advantage of Patterns
Pattern Recognition is an incredibly important skill and one that very few programs and tutors properly teach. We teach students how to use the patterns of the test to their advantage. The SAT does not make it obvious what each question is testing students on, so being able to distinguish what techniques to apply and know where to go in the passage is crucial to answering questions correctly.
3. Proven Test-Taking Strategies
Proven test-taking strategies help students properly pace themselves and understand how to best attack the section. Overall strategies are discussed at the beginning of the course, and more specific strategies to use for each type of question are integrated into each chapter.
4. Applied Practice
Students will complete practice passages for each question type and 10 full practice passages that accurately reflect SAT passages. Each practice question has a video answer explanation to help students most effectively learn from their mistakes and drive continuous improvement.

Is This Recorded Course As Good As A Live Tutor?
Yes! As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it can be just as effective. After teaching these exact lessons to over a thousand students, Michael knows exactly where students struggle, what the most common questions are, and how to best help students succeed. This means that almost every single one of your possible questions or struggles is addressed in the videos you will watch. If not, we have a comments section for any questions students may have. On-demand lectures also allow students to rewatch lectures, a feature not available with a live tutor. This is a valuable resource because students can rewatch the lectures and review the material if they are missing questions on practice tests.
How Many Videos And Practice Questions Are There?
There are 217 videos and a total of 12 hours of instruction. The course includes 230 practice questions.
What Do You Use For Materials?
Students are given a PDF copy of our 116-page PrepPros SAT Read book. The book has 13 chapters that cover the entire SAT Reading Test and have 230 of practice questions. Each chapter includes lessons, strategies, and most include practice questions. Practice questions are assigned to complete as homework as students work through the course.
Are Students Assigned Homework?
Yes, Chapters 4 and 6-13 include practice passages and questions that students are assigned to complete. Students can then watch video explanations for any questions that they answer incorrectly or want to better understand before starting the next chapter.
Are Practice Tests Included?
No, we do not include any practice SATs in this course.
We recommend that students completed 4-5 practice SATs during or after the course.
For information about where to find practice SATs, go to our blog post here.
Do You Offer A Guaranteed Score Increase?
No, we do not. As tutors, we provide the best prep possible, but we are only half of the team. We cannot control the variety of factors that can affect how a student performs on test day. How much was the student studying? How did they manage the pressure and stress of test day? Does the students suffer from testing anxiety? All of these factors can affect the scores.
Additionally, any test prep company offering a “guarantee” is not really offering a guarantee. If you read the fine print, students must complete a very large number of tutoring hours, all homework assignments, and all practice tests to qualify for a guarantee. Plus, your child needs to have already taken an official SAT or ACT before beginning the process. Want to complete an excessive number of homework questions and take 15 practice tests just to qualify for a guarantee? Yeah, we did not think so.
How Long Do I Get Access To The Course?
6 months from the purchase date. After 6 months, the course log-in is no longer valid and must be purchased again.
How Long Does It Take To Complete The Course?
We recommend completing this course over 4-8 weeks. However, students who are in a rush can complete the course in as little as 1-3 weeks.
