But SAT Math 2 success requires more dedication and support than you might expect. Additional workshops, online courses, and practice tests multiply the benefits, without multiplying the cost to you.

Email me at [email protected] if you have any questions or difficulties.
Student to-do’s (Homework)
Homework for our very first meeting
Please print and prepare this 60-minute timed test (download here), carefully and exactly following the Homework process explained below. (Note: this is the first test from the official College Board book listed above. If you prefer to work directly out of the book, that’s fine.)
Don’t read the rest of the book. Don’t skip the directions below.
Homework process
- Please prepare for the test by doing whatever review you think will be most helpful. Spend between 5 and 90 minutes on this, please. I trust your judgement.
- Please take the assigned test, timed per the instructions on the exam. Circle your answers right on the test.
- Please bring the test and all scratchwork to our meeting (for video sessions, please scan and email it, by following the instructions in the next section).
