Digital SAT: Zoom SAT-Prep Tutoring 

Exclusive  iCRED Reading & Writing

​

As a professional engineer, I reverse-engineered the SAT to reveal how academic skills are tested. Then, I developed an Extraordinary SAT-Prep Method that provides ‘Memory’ and ‘Application’ strategies: students select correct answers confidently, consistently, and quickly by interconnecting visual Clues, Rules, Errors, and Definitions (iCRED Method) hidden within each SAT question. Thus, iCRED is a fun academic treasure hunt or I Spy game that delivers strong foundational knowledge in Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. The knowledge that interconnects Clues, Rules, Errors, and Definitions does NOT change, only the questions change from SAT to SAT.

 

Reading/Writing Example:   Standard English Convention (Boundaries Skill tested)

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

​

 

 

Clue:  transition phrase (for example) in text

Clue:  one period in text reveals one sentence

 

Rule:  Find Main Clause Subject-Verb pair to determine number of sentences possible in text.

               Subject-Verb Pair 1 = The technique is known

               Subject-Verb Pair 2 = Dancers may explore

 

Error:  NEVER place just a comma boundary between two sentences (Comma Splice).

                 Eliminate answer choice D since it creates a Comma Splice Error.

 

Definition:  A transition phrase in a current sentence must relate to a previous sentence, so two sequential sentences are needed.

                 Eliminate answer choices A and C since they FAIL to support the transition definition.

 

Question Decode:  The text reveals a transition phrase, whose logical connection must be from the previous sentence to the current sentence (contains transition phrase). Only answer choice B provides a semicolon punctuation boundary that combines two sentences. Thus, placing a semicolon between two Main Clauses creates the two sequential sentences required to use a transition phrase in the text.
