The math class was especially interesting. By the end of the course, my math grade jumped 100 points, bringing rne to an 800. The teacher would frequently capture our.attention with riddles when he detected that we were becoming brain dead from too much math. He was affable and remembered each of his students by name. We were split into groups and competed against each other. This competitive drive made everyone try their best to win.
The second great improvement I made was in writing. My score jumped from a 680 to a 750. I improved 70 points, The grammar was explained so that everyone can understand it. In writing, we learned common idioms and errors students make on the SAT. We would have a practice essay each week to help improve our scores. The teacher was funny and interesting.
The critical reading class was fun to attend. lnstead of using boring flash cards, we read a book. The book was a real story type book -not one of those classics that cause you to fall asleep. After this course, my critical reading score gained 20 points.
The program at Think Tank was one of the best 5AT classes I have ever taken. My score improved drastically and the teachers were awesome. I would recommend the course to anyone.
