SAT Fame

At the start of this SAT journey over two years ago, I over confidently assumed that the preparation would be rather straightforward and painless. I had always done well in my math and English classes at school, so I thought the SAT should a safe extension of my confidence. However, my first practice test with a score in the 1100’s suggested otherwise. I began to realize my proud GPA may not imply my SAT success, and I was desperate in need of help. Through the recommendation of a few peers, I decided to sign up for Dr. Li's Summer SAT prep course. [...]

I was very unsure about my test preparation in the weeks before I participated in the session, but afterwards I definitely felt much more comfortable and better prepared.   I'd like to thank you, Dr. Thomson, and Ms. Bormann [...]

Two words: Absolutely amazing. As a freshman at Poolesville HS, I am required to take the AP Government and Politics course. What I thought would take countless months to study and prepare for the AP test, Dr. Thomson’s and Dr.Li’s AP Gov prep class accomplished that in just a few hours. Rigorous and engaging, the course offered countless mock tests and instruction that made it a walk in the park to earn my 5 on the AP test.

Thanks to MathEnglish Academy, I scored a 1530 on the SAT on my first try as a freshman. Prior to attending Dr. Li’s program, I knew nothing whatsoever about the SAT, and after four weeks studying with Dr. Li, Dr. Thomson, Dr. Virtue, and Dr. Granger, I was able to achieve my goal. The in-depth analysis and practice of the different SAT question types familiarized me with common standardized test problems. Learning about the influence of Greek and Latin elements on words during vocabulary class was especially appealing to me, and certainly improved my vocabulary score as well as my paper-writing skills.

Curing My Ailment by, David Guhl The youngest diplomat in Beijing Embassy. Maudlin. “M”. “A”. “U”. “D”. Standing up in front of the class, beads of sweat forming across my forehead, my brain raced to find the spelling of the “M” word I had just studied among the fifty other words the night before.  When my twenty seconds were exhausted, Dr. Thomson sounded a deep draconian “Time is up.” As I took my seat in embarrassment, I was determined to study harder for next week’s vocabulary test. The weekly vocabulary quizzes are an integral part of the Dr. Li’s SAT program and [...]

The Digital SAT program helped me immensely when it came to preparing for the SAT, helping me achieve my goal score on the first try. Going into the test, I was terrified that I wouldn’t get a good score. However, as I was taking the test, I grew more and more confident with each question and my anxiety reduced, since I had come across those question types multiple times during the Digital SAT prep course. When I received my score, my relief was indescribable! I was elated that I had reached my goal! This achievement can be greatly attributed to the Digital [...]
