The SAT is a globally recognized standardized test that high school students diligently prepare for as part of their college applications. Think Academy offers SAT courses, and this summer, over 100 students enrolled in our SAT programs. Among these 100 students, 24 achieved scores exceeding 1500 on the August and October SAT exams. In today’s feature, we shine the spotlight on Joanna, one of these 24 students. As a 10th grader, she accomplished the remarkable feat of achieving a perfect score of 1600!

Joanna’s Takeaways from this SAT Preparation Experience:

Through Joanna’s video, you can learn about her SAT preparation timeline, recommended study resources, and her evaluation of Think Academy’s courses. Additionally, she provides several key takeaways we hope will benefit students preparing for the SAT:

1. Professional Courses are Essential: Identifying your weaknesses through daily practice and receiving guidance from professional instructors are crucial. Joanna greatly improved through Think Academy’s one-on-one courses. Professional instructors prevented her from making repeated mistakes on questions and provided her with a clear understanding.
2. Maintain a Positive Mindset: Positive thinking can boost your confidence for the exam and enable you to perform at your usual test level. Remind yourself often, ‘I can do this!’
3. Take Every Practice/Practice Test Seriously: Only through consistent practice can you become familiar with various question types and master your timing, which will help you remain calm during the actual exam.

How did Think Academy assist Joanna in her SAT preparation?

Joanna’s test preparation journey commenced in February of this year with some mock exams, where she initially scored around 1450. Over the summer, she participated in the Think Academy SAT Camp, which included a blend of small group classes and one-on-one sessions. Through dedicated effort, she ultimately achieved a score of 1540 on the August free mock exam. However, the most remarkable achievement was yet to come, as Joanna earned a perfect score on her official SAT exam!

Free Mock Test

Think Academy has consistently offered free SAT mock tests to students. In Joanna’s initial mock test, she scored 1450 points. Along with scores, we also provide free analysis reports, enabling students to comprehend their performance in each section and pinpoint areas for improvement. Through continuous learning and various stage mock exams, Joanna ultimately reached the remarkable score of 1600 on the official examination!

Students’ favorite one-on-one courses:

Tommy is the students’ favorite teacher, and many specifically choose to enroll in Tommy’s classes. In Joanna’s summer course package, there are both group classes and one-on-one sessions. During the group classes and practice exams, Joanna pinpointed her weaknesses in the SAT. Therefore, during the one-on-one sessions, she could use her time efficiently, and Tommy, the teacher, offered personalized guidance to address these issues, ensuring that students didn’t repeat the same mistakes in similar question types.

Professional teachers tracking students’ learning progress:

Our SAT instructor, continuously monitored the progress of each student, addressing issues promptly. During Joanna’s SAT preparation, we communicated with parents based on Joanna’s performance in each practice test, analyzing the areas where Joanna lost points. In moments when Joanna didn’t perform as expected, our instructor also provided timely encouragement to ensure she didn’t feel discouraged or lose confidence.

The Best motivation policy

Think Academy’s primary goal is to help every student achieve their desired scores, so we offer a scholarship policy for all students. As long as they score 1450 or above, they are eligible for a Think Academy scholarship. Joanna, on the other hand, achieved a perfect score of 1600, and as a result, Think Academy awarded her a $2,000 scholarship. This not only covers her tuition at Think Academy but also provides her with additional scholarship benefits.
