My instructor’s name is Taylor Trautwein. When I first signed up for this course I had wanted to improve my score but never would I have even thought that I could improve it by at least 200 points. I had taken a prep course and a tutoring course and neither one had been that beneficial to me because they would be reviewing the basics and I would here questions about simple problems I already understood how to complete. For example, those courses told me to “look at the college board strategies and khan academy practice problems”, but this course has specified that using those to practice is the opposite of what I should be doing. Even though the zoom calls are long and require a lot of brain power, I believe that they are definitely worth it because of how much improvement I have seen over the course of my journey with prep expert. One must know that there is a difference between taking the course just to get it over with, and maximizing your learning experience by taking notes and trying your very best on every practice quiz. I have maximized my experience by harnessing self motivation and paying attention to the best of my ability in this class, and it shows with my dramatic score increase, which I will state at the end. What I enjoyed about this course was the environment and how engaging my instructor Taylor was through the zoom calls, encouraging us to react to her drawings and type in the chat how we are feeling throughout the day. She seemed very interested in our plans and experiences outside of the course as well. I strongly recommend this course to others who really care about their SAT score and are willing to persevere through this course for a guaranteed improvement. My first SAT score that I took in March was a 1300, and the practice test on prep expert that I took on May 14th I had gotten a 1490.
