Starting off, this class has been extremely beneficial and has helped me improve my score tremendously from my first practice. The practice tests and homework helped hone the excellent skills and strategies we would learn in class. Our instructor, Miguel Chavira, was an excellent teacher who would go through the questions thoroughly and explain the thought process and putting the strategies into practice. However, I do have some minor critiques. The first is the technical difficulties I experienced. The practice test website was buggy for the entire class and only halfway through the class did I find a work around to get on. Second, is the vocab quizzes. The vocab quizzes are a new addition since the PSAT class I took two years ago, and I think they could be better implemented. The biggest issue is that the synonym options that were given were more obscure than the actual vocab work itself and I found myself clueless about the answer a large part of the time. Lastly, I think the classes’ schedule fails to account for the shrinking attention span of teens. It’s an inevitable truth that social media is taking a toll on the average teenager’s attention span, and the large three hour chunks of class would sometimes end up dragging on. I am sure there are ways to remedy this, but that is an issue for minds much smarter than my own. Overall, I think that this class was a very informative, helpful, and skill building experience that has greatly benefited me, but has some minor flaws. Despite the long days and hard work, I am glad I did the class, and I hope the skills I have been thought will helped propel me into excellence.
