• Students taking the SAT or PSAT Reading-Writing section will answer 54 questions in 64 minutes.

  • Students who excel demonstrate sound reading skills, high comprehension, efficient intake and interpretation of textual information, quick evidence-based decision-making, and systematic pattern recognition. This boot camp helps students create a response framework and trains them on the proper approach for each type of question posed by the SAT and PSAT. Additionally, efficiencies and the elimination of errors for optimal performance are taught. The SAT and PSAT also evaluate English grammar rules and rhetorical skills. Most schools do NOT teach English grammar today, so students typically choose the multiple choice that 'looks right,' 'sounds right,' or 'does not look weird.' (Ask your student!) For a meaningful score improvement, students should master these grammar rules and rhetorical skills. Our boot camp teaches students how.

  • This boot camp reproduces the Reading-Writing segment of PrepAccelerator's popular live online SAT-PSAT Boot Camp that has helped thousands of students achieve their target score. For live boot camp details, visit PrepAccelerator.com/SATEvents.

  • Parents are strongly encouraged to view the Preliminaries and Next Steps chapters of each segment of this module with their student. These chapters help parents understand how they can help their student plan the study timetable and achieve mastery of the material in a timely fashion.

  • This boot camp includes a number of test-taking tips and identifies common student errors. Additionally, important grammar rules and rhetorical techniques for memorization are highlighted frequently during this boot camp. Students are told to turn these rules and techniques into paper flash cards for memorization since the SAT-PSAT Reading-Writing section evaluates memorization and quick recall.

Junior: Columbus School for Girls, Ohio

"Hi, Dr. Sampath, I just checked the December SAT scores, and I got a 1530!! The breakdown is 760 in Reading and Writing and 770 in Math, which means that my super score and highest composite are the same. I'm happy with this score, so I believe I am done with the SAT. Thank you for your tremendous help and all the work you put into the amazing resources on your website. I wouldn't have as high of a score if I hadn't used your tutoring. Happy Holidays!!"

Junior: Solon High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr. Sampath, Just wanted to share my PSAT score! I got a 1520! Thanks for your help!"

(Junior) Parent: Olentangy Berlin High School, Ohio

"Dr. Sampath, My son attended your boot camp in June for August SAT. Glad to let you know that he scored 1550. He told me that even more than math, your instruction in English helped him. He scored 790 in English and 760 in math. He signed up for the October SAT to reach his target score of 1580 and beyond. This prep would also help him with PSATs as he is a junior now. Did want to take a minute and let you know how he is doing and thank you."

Rising Senior: Olentangy Berlin High School, Ohio

"Dear Dr. Sampath, I hope this email finds you well. I took the SAT on June 1st and ended up getting a 1530 on my first attempt (Reading and Writing 750, Math 780) which is equivalent to a 35. Your ACT cheat sheet was very helpful to my prep for that exam! Thank you!"

(Senior) Parent: Dublin Jerome High School, Ohio

"Dear Dr Sampath, Just letting you know that my son is a confirmed National Merit Semifinalist. There was a recognition ceremony for the award at Dublin Jerome. We are very happy that he tutored with you. Thank you for all the advice."

(Junior) Parent: Saint Charles Preparatory School, Ohio

"Dr. Sampath, Belated Happy New Year to you! Hope you had a good holiday and great start of the new year. I want to give you a quick update on my son's PSAT test last Oct: He did really well and got perfect score of 1520! Thank you very much for your materials that he studied that prepared him very well. Hope this will help him during his college applications. He doesn't plan to take SAT test, just ACT test."

(Rising Senior) Parent: Upper Arlington High School, Ohio

"Dr. Sampath: Just wanted to close the loop with you on our daughter's college journey. She has accepted an offer to become a student-athlete at Amherst College next fall. She was recruited by Amherst, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, Vassar, and Bryn Mawr and passed all of her academic pre-reads -- a huge accomplishment on its own. Thank you once again for all your support as she went through the testing process last summer. She would not have had these opportunities without her commitment to the process, her SAT performance, and all your guidance and support. She's extremely excited about her choice and her future, as are we. Cheers!"

(Rising Senior) Parent: Olentangy Liberty High School, Ohio

"My daughter received a 1420 (110-point increase from last test). Scored 740 Math and 680 English! We are still digesting the information and determining if she will take the ACT or not. She finished her final and got the scores and out the door to the pool! Thank you for all your help and guidance through this process!"

(Senior) Parent: New Albany High School, Ohio

"Dear Dr Sampath, We are very pleased to inform you that our son got into OSU Biomedical Science, UNC Chapel Hill, University of Michigan, and Washington University. He chose OSU BMS as it was his first choice and also because he got the Morrill Scholarship. He attended your boot camp summer before junior year and also PSAT/SAT coaching. He applied the techniques you taught him which helped him secure a near-perfect score on ACT and PSAT. I feel that you listen, observe and help students in a very unique way that they value your input and that gets results. Many thanks to you for that. Proud Parent. 🙏"

Sophomore: Worthington Kilbourne High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr. Sampath, I took the SAT last weekend and just got my scores back. I got 1540 overall, 780 in English and 760 in math. I missed 4 in reading, 0 in writing and language, and 5 in math. I will likely be taking the ACT this summer and will be back for more tutoring. Thanks again for all your help and mentorship."
