Traditionally, it has been nearly impossible to incorporate effective, customized SAT
instruction into high school curriculum. Consequently, classroom courses have suffered
from a variety of problems, most notably the reliance on "scripted" lessons, which prevent
essential student participation, and leave instructors reading to the class. Clear Choice
SAT Prep's revolutionary online application PrepLink resolves these problems by remedying
the deficiencies that have plagued classroom SAT instruction.
During Clear Choice SAT Prep's classroom instruction, high school students work closely
with their instructors through interactive lectures. This energetic format involves students
in material in a way that "scripted" lessons simply cannot. During interactive lectures, students
cooperate to complete a series of hand-selected worksheets while each successive problem is projected
on the whiteboard and discussed. Each worksheet has been engineered to introduce, explain, evaluate,
and reinforce one specific SAT concept. Consequently, students learn concepts more quickly and retain
them more thoroughly. As an added bonus, the worksheets are formatted so as to function perfectly as
review sheets once they have been completed.
Between classroom lessons, PrepLink provides the custom instruction and support that has traditionally
been absent from high school SAT courses. Instructors can quickly and easily program PrepLink to assign
automatic assignments daily, weekly, or on any combination of days. Each assignment is automatically
generated according to the specifications (number and types of problems, range of difficulty, emphasis
on specific concepts, etc.) of the instructor. These controls can be set and reset as often or as
rarely as the instructor wishes, but once set, the assignment generator automatically creates
assignments and periodically recycles missed problems to ensure that students are improving their
proficiencies.
As soon as the student completes a homework assignment and clicks "submit answers" the assignment is
instantly scored and analyzed. Then, the student watches a series of short video solutions pertaining
to the problems that he or she answered incorrectly. This final step is critical because it remedies
the single worst deficiency in traditional SAT preparation: lag.
Traditionally, students met with their instructors days after completing homework assignments. These
homework assignments were then corrected during the next class session, leaving less time for new material
to be covered. Worse, students were often unable to remember what led them to choose the answer they chose.
This resulted in a completely disjointed learning cycle.
PrepLink remedies this disruption by providing instant feedback to the student and tutor following each
homework assignment. Students immediately watch video solutions to understand why they answered incorrectly,
and instructors can quickly review analytic data to help focus future lessons on the most pressing needs of the
students.
Thus, the essential feedback loop of information between instructor and student has been restored through the magic of PrepLink.
