"I was impressed with all of the practice tests and homework test that we provided. I definitely think those made the difference. My instructor was clay cooper, and my TA was Dan, and I think he is very intelligent and patient. However I do have some concerns about the pace at which he was going, and the clarity of his explanations. I often felt that we were short on time or rushed because clay would explain very quickly and it seemed that everyone understood except me. I am a slow learner who needs to ask very specific questions in order to understand the concept, although I understand we are limited on time for questions. I also found it extremely difficult to finish the homework that was assigned to us, on time. With school work and SAT work, I was not able to submit one of my test on time, in order to keep my money back guarantee. It was difficult to finish the homework tests, especially, which often times I did not complete. I sincerely tried to improve in the course, taking all my spare time attempting to complete the assignments, but I it was not possible for me. I found it very discouraging that I did not accel in both math sections, and hardly in reading and writing. To the instructor, this issue may be solved by coming to the conclusion that I simply did not complete the work I was supposed to do in order to improve. I understand that. But I had two math tutors tutor me over the period of time when I was enrolled in the course, and I did not accel. I don't know why this is. They are two excellent math teachers that I have had as teachers in the past, and the practice tests are standard SAT tests. I do think the test taking tips were effective. However, when I have been enrolled in an $800 course that does not help me improve on a crucial test to my future, I have little hope anything will. I would, however, recommend this course to students who learn at a faster pace or who accel at comprehending difficult concepts. I have never seen most of the math that was on the tests, before in my high school and middle school careers. I think this program is well organized and understands what it takes to practice and master the SAT. I just happen to be a student who is not fit for this learning style. Thank you prep expert for the knowledge you have provided me with. I am grateful.
