Compressing a complete SAT preparation course into three hour-long, independent, self-paced tutorials, former Kaplan instructor Daniel Fischer turns viewers into smart, strategic test-takers ready for every rule, formula, and question type. Mimicking actual tutoring sessions, each of the programs addresses 60 or more essential tactics for answering questions, navigating sections, and using time-saving shortcuts. The result is a learning experience that customizes to students of all ability levels and completely prepares students for test day. Downloadable workbooks reinforce the syllabus of each tutorial.

  • Mastering the SAT: Math. Besides covering key content areas such as functions, geometry, percents, and proportions, Fischer discusses the math SAT’s pacing and the distinctive language used in its questions. Other tips include explaining the "wrong answer penalty" and how to solve complicated test questions without algebra.
  • Mastering the SAT: Reading. Using carefully chosen example passages, Fischer explains how to focus on what each question is really asking. Other topics: dispelling myths about the reading comprehension sections, recognizing trap questions, finding the main points in a passage, and practical strategies for studying vocabulary and literary devices.
  • Mastering the SAT: Writing. Fischer offers strategies for every stage of the compositional process, from the sentence, to the paragraph, to the essay. Also discussed: issues to look out for, such as subject-verb agreement, passive vs. active voice, and the use of first person pronouns.
