Here’s a sneak preview of our cutting-edge SAT MATH content! This sample look features our overall approach MINUS the INTERACTIVE element that is truly the final crucial component to enhanced mastery (unfortunately, YouTube does not currently support interactive video).
Fortunately, Thinkific does support fully interactive video lessons, and we are currently engaged in adding that final feature to all of our in-depth MATH prep lessons. Hopefully, within two months we will launch a completed product, featuring 20+ hours of interactive video content AND 232 practice questions, all crafted to simulate actual recent questions on the SAT MATH exam.
“Smashing the SAT rocks! I used to hate test prep, especially math and would burn out in minutes! Now I actually like it!!”
Ever try to compare phone plans??!! Or competing car financing options??!! Or just buy two get the third at 50% off??!! Maybe life shouldn’t be this way, but it is. MATH is crucial to success in all avenues of life, so let’s get after it!!

What is Interactive Video?
Interactive video is a relatively new medium on the web that allows instructional designers (like me) to create a truly interactive experience for you, the learner! As you’ll see (especially if you opt for the Premium Pass), all of our videos have interactive breakpoints at which we ask you to incrementally solve whatever SAT MATH problem we’re focused on. Requiring YOU to exercise your judgment within the context of the lesson is what makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world! Your retention and mastery will over time be exponentially heightened.
How much can I improve on my SAT MATH score?
Obviously this depends upon the amount of study time that you devote to our content. It also depends upon what current level of performance on the test is. Obviously if you’re already a 700+ scorer, then I’d be foolish to promise an improvement of 100+ points. However, for a currently average scorer who makes a true commitment to our course content, I think that 100+ points is not an unreasonable expectation.
What are the most important concepts to learn?
OK, here’s a quick sort of Top Ten list–
- Linear Equations (including what they really mean!)
- Quadratics, Functions, Solutions
- Exercise SAT-style deduction where necessary
- Strategic Algebra (i.e., efficiently getting to where you need to go)
- Word Problems (don’t panic!)
- Graphing (both linear eq. and quadratics)
- Data Tables / Charts / Histograms
How much time does this course take?
This depends quite a bit on your current proficiency with high school math. The content here can be navigated more quickly IF you’re familiar and comfortable with any given area. A normally-paced user can probably do all of the in-depth REVIEW material in about 20 hours. Then they are 232 additional practice questions (with one or two HINTS) and video explanations.
Is the SAT MATH exam full of gimmicks?
Absolutely!! OK, I’m being somewhat facetious, but it is the case that SAT MATH proboes often have a small twist that I believed are designed to taske you out of your HS math class comfort zone and potentially rattle you. Even simple “Solving for x” type of problems can be obfuscated in a certain ways (don’t worry–we cover all of the SAT nuances). So yes, you need to practice MATH SAT-style!
Can this approach make MATH less abstract?
That’s a big-time YES!! We strive to make MATH VISUAL at every turn. We animate graphs and correlate data points and graphed lines to tangible phenomena. We animate out the solution of algebraic equations in a step-by-step fashion to keep you engaged and on track in terms of your overall comprehension.
Scholarships that a top score can earn?
If you apply yourself to this MATH content and dramatically elevate your proficiency on the SAT exam, thereby jumping from a 500, let’s say, to a 700, then this could translate into thousands or even tens of thousands of scholarship dollars!
