Series Details

About

Hello! This series is for those who want to learn and practice a variety of SAT Writing topics and strategies. We will go over every grammar and effective language use topic covered in Khan Academy’s SAT Writing practice section. Check out this link to make sure this series is a right fit for you https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/practice/reading-and-writing. Once we finish reviewing and practicing all of the topics, we will walk through a few full writing sections. Even though each session is set to be 90 minutes, the actual duration may be a bit shorter depending on the content. Prerequisites: None, as we will be teaching from the basics. Materials: Note-taking materials of your choice, Khan Academy account for practice problems and assessments. Note: Since this series is a comprehensive look into all the writing topics on Khan Academy, it may not be challenging enough for those who are already familiar with the question styles and concepts. Consider finding a more advanced series if this is the case.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please try to attend each session to the best of your ability. However, if you're familiar with the content for a specific session, feel free to skip. I will also post any materials in the group chat after each session.
