SAT Methods
 How innovative can an SAT program be? Well, our students routinely raise their scores 200-300 points. Why? Because they “study smart, not hard.” Here is just a sample of our secret program weapons for deconstructing the SAT.
Natural Reactions™
The Tier One approach to the Math section of the SAT is called Natural Reactions™. It is a revolutionary test-taking tool that’s unquestionably the first of its kind in the SAT industry. Preparing for the Math section can often feel intimidating to students who feel they must pore over hundreds of pages of math to succeed. Well, guess what? With our methods, that’s completely unnecessary! We identified the 15 most common types of problems and what a student's instant and natural reaction should be when they encounter them. Learning this method allows even poor math students to routinely jump up 100-150 points on this section alone! All from studying smart, not hard.
No Vocabulary
With Tier One’s unprecedented approach to the Critical Reading section of the SAT, your student will never study a single vocabulary word. Honest. Unbelievable? Remember, we’re studying smart—not hard.
The Tier One Tricks™
Success on the SAT means knowing how to save time and lower stress. Basically, it means knowing the “tricks” to the test. Doesn’t everyone want to know when they should guess and when they should skip problems? How about knowing what the phrase “best answer choice” means relative to “the correct answer choice”? With our Tier One Tricks™, you will be given unequaled and unparalleled insights into the many ins and outs of the test. It really doesn’t have to be so hard! We promise!
The Six Grammar Rules
Studying smart is focusing on what you need and not wasting time on what you don’t. That’s why Tier One identified the six grammar rules that make up 95% of the questions on the Writing section of the SAT. Imagine rapidly raising your score on a third of the test without obsessing about every grammar rule out there. Why work so hard? We’ve made it easy.
The Tier One Outline™
If a student uses our trademarked Tier One Outline™ they are guaranteed a score of 8 (out of 12) or higher, regardless of their present writing skills! The Essay section of the SAT is another anxiety-inducing hurdle in the minds of many students. It’s the first part of the test that students are faced with on test day, and how a student feels during and after this section sets the tone for how the rest of the exam will go. The Tier One Outline™ demystifies this process and guarantees that your child moves through this section with confidence and ease. It’s not hard if you start smart.
