My experience of prepping for the SAT and ACT was that I exposed my brain to hundreds of similar problems. In the math sections, there are around 54 questions in the full test.

When you look at 4 tests, you see over 200 questions.

- I found that my brain begin to see patterns.

- I also didn't need to read the instructions.

- I didn't need to look at the reminders at the front of the math test, like a 45 45 90 triangle has sides of 3, 3 and 3 root 2

- I also pushed myself to WRITE CLEAR NOTES during my calculations so that I could go back to CHECK my answers.

- I became very good at the multiplication tables. 8 x 9 is instant in my mind

- Multiples of 12 and 14 and 15 and 16 and 18 are important

12, 24, 36, ...

14, 28, 42, ...

15, 30, 45, 60, ,,,,

16, 32, 48, ...

18, 36, 54, ...

- The verbal section usually takes longer to increase, since vocabulary is slower to increase. Visit FreeVocabulary.com and expose yourself to words

--print the word lists

-- cross out the words you know well (can ou give a synonym right now?)

-- study the rest.

-- Involve adults. Make a copy of the list of words that you don't know well and ask your mom and other adults to tell you what they mean. "Can you use vicarious in a sentence?"

Make it easy on the adults by handwriting the words on a list. Give the adults 10 or 20 words.

-- Keep those lists and review them every other day. When you really really know the word (you can give synonyms quickly or use the word in a sentence), then you can cross out that word.

"Vicarious is like when you never went to Cancun, Mexico but you can imagine how it was like because someone told you about it. That's vicarious" -- at least you know that the word is not about football or cooking.

I hope you will put these tips to use.

Please do me a favor

-- take two minutes to visit TinyURL.com/NoGradesVideo. I am annoyed that principals and teachers do not know about this program and that they have not learned about how students at 150 private schools are using a better system for the high school transcript.

I have designed this free test prep program (TinyURL.com/FreeTestPrepByPhone) to give students something free. In return, I hope students will take time to boost the views on this important video. Only 102 subscribes so far and fewer than 2300 views

My hope is that Cardinal Gibbons high school students can bump the number up to 2500 -- and help spread the video. Teenagers could make this idea go viral. After you watch the video, please share it with at least three of your classmates.

TinyURL.com/NoGradesCardinal I set up a free website just for this campaign.

"The single most important thing you could do tomorrow for little to no money is have every student establish a digital portfolio where they collect their best work as evidence of their skills. Where they’re working with their teachers and other adults to present their best work, to iterate their best work, so that they actually have real progress they can show."
