What you leave with

A full timed diagnostic under proctored conditions, and a personal error checklist

The high-yield recurring question archetypes that make up over 40% of the test, Desmos calculator mastery, and time-optimisation heuristics.

The rotation is longer than most because the material genuinely needs it, and one whole stage is Module 2 trap questions. Nothing here claims a score.

What makes this one worth it

  • The Anatomy of Digital SAT Math & The Heart of Algebra
  • Passport to Advanced Math & Non-Linear Functions
  • Problem Solving & Data Analysis
  • Geometry, Trigonometry & The Complex Plane
  • Advanced Module 2 Trap Questions & Desmos Power Tricks
  • Full Timed Diagnostic Simulation & Score Target Debrief

What is included

  • All 6 sessions of the 6-week cohort — 12 hours of instruction
  • A place held for you for the whole run, in a cohort of 8–12
  • Every piece of equipment listed below, provided on the day
  • Your instructor, and their attention in a group this size

What to bring

  • Water, and something to eat if you want it
  • Nothing else — the kit is provided

What you cover, in rotation

The group works through these in order and then begins again on fresh ground. Join at whatever stage it is on — nothing here assumes you were there for the last one, and nothing runs out — or drop in for a single session if that is all you can manage.

  1. Stage 1The Anatomy of Digital SAT Math & The Heart of Algebra
    • The adaptive testing algorithm: Module 1 benchmark against Module 2 tier.
    • Linear equations, systems, and interpreting linear constants.
    • Using the built-in Desmos calculator for instant system intersections.
  2. Stage 2Passport to Advanced Math & Non-Linear Functions
    • Quadratic forms and vertex parabola shortcuts.
    • Radical and rational exponents, polynomial division, extraneous solutions.
    • Discriminant questions wearing different disguises.
  3. Stage 3Problem Solving & Data Analysis
    • Two-way frequency tables, conditional probability and margin of error.
    • Compound percentage change against simple linear growth.
    • Scatterplots, lines of best fit and residual interpretation.
  4. Stage 4Geometry, Trigonometry & The Complex Plane
    • Circle equations in standard form, and completing the square.
    • Right triangle trigonometry, radians and complementary angles.
    • Similar triangles and proportional 3D volume ratios.
  5. Stage 5Advanced Module 2 Trap Questions & Desmos Power Tricks
    • Regression equations and sliders in Desmos for rapid solutions.
    • Recognising test-maker traps, trick wording and distractors.
    • The 30-second triage rule for pacing.
  6. Stage 6Full Timed Diagnostic Simulation & Score Target Debrief
    • A timed full-length practice section under proctored conditions.
    • A line-by-line diagnostic error debrief and a personal checklist.
    • Test anxiety reduction.

6 sessions in the cycle, then it begins again on new ground.

Led by 99th-percentile SAT math tutor.

Algorithm insight, Desmos shortcuts, and diagnostic error review.

On the table when you arrive
