See the link to my latest YouTube video: https://youtu.be/l6gxdUnTStY
Want affordable SAT prep for the three remaining paper SATs ever? Graduating senior? Don’t trust the new SAT digital format? Or perhaps you’d like to try both paper and digital SAT! I’m offering SAT prep classes for $35 per hour, at two hours per session. So it’s $70 per 2-hour session. Classes will meet once a week in downtown Oakland. I’ve taught SAT prep since 2002, with many great reviews from satisfied students. Class size limited to 10 students. I will add more classes if there’s demand.

But wait, THERE’S MORE! You get a brand-new copy of Barron’s SAT, Barrons’ SAT Math Workbook at no additional charge. I have additional SAT practice books I can provide you. THERE’S EVEN MORE! You get online time and in-person time before and after class sessions, as available. I’ll be doing this SAT from (September 2023) until December 1, 2022 (the day before the last paper SAT). You can also use this test prep to work on the new digital SAT. I’m also an experienced ACT tutor – let me know if you’re interested in individual tutoring or starting an ACT prep course!

See my Facebook reviews: https://www.facebook.com/linneballtutoring/reviews and reviews from Thumbtack (a service from which I get many referrals for tutoring)
https://www.thumbtack.com/profile/services/213831566874944709/reviews and my Yelp review page https://www.yelp.com/biz/john-linneball-san-francisco?osq=john+linneball+tutoring (Do take a look at the reviews that "are not currently recommended by Yelp - they're perfectly valid, but Yelp has a weird of deciding what reviews are good and which aren't).

Answer to Quora Question: "Are there any ways to assess true intellectual abilities beyond academic performance indicators such as test scores and GPA?"

Are there any ways to assess true intellectual abilities beyond academic performance indicators such as test scores and GPA?
​
Yes, there are. That’s why, for example, colleges usually allow people whose talents aren’t easily measured using standardized tests or school grades (e.g. artists) to submit portfolios of artwork, recordings of their performances, etc. Athletes are recruited by coaches who measure the prospective student athletes’ abilities.



College admission essays also force students to express themselves and, hopefully, tell the admissions committee who they really are - what their goals are, if they’re likely to meet those goals, their ability to express themselves appropriately, and their relative maturity level (an essay that’s all about how a students wants to “be super rich and drive a hot car” might not play as well as an essay by a serious academic expressing how this college is the best place for them to take the next step in their academic development).


Personal interviews may also play the same role, although many college interviews are more for the purpose of allowing the students to ask questions about the college than to gather information about the student for the college. Letters of recommendation may also serve the same purpose. An instructor’s, classmates’, or employer’s evaluation of a given student should give insight into that student that written tests and grades (unless they’re descriptive grades, not simple letter grades) cannot.


Hope this helps!

Answer to Quora Question: "Why do people take the SAT/ACT multiple times?"

1/19/2023

Why do people take the SAT/ACT multiple times?

They want to improve their SAT/ACT scores. Both tests are based on math, reading, grammar, etc. - all things you can improve with practice. Also, practicing those particular tests by taking them will can greatly improve your scores in later attempts, since you’ll be familiar with how the questions are presented to you, and what you’ll be expected to do.


There are also factors that depend random events that might make it desirable for you retake the ACT or SAT. Some such events might deal with your health- you’re sick on the test day, but not sick enough to stay home, so you take test when you feel like dirt. You could have a death in the family, experience a breakup with your significant other, or have some other emotional problem that might distract you from the test. You might get into a car accident on the way to the test, or the car might break down. Even if they let you into the test late (I don’t believe they do), that probably wouldn’t be your best test score if you retook the test.


The SAT/ACT both allow you to pick and choose what scores to send, so many schools will only see your highest scores, although some schools require you report all your SAT and ACT scores. Some schools even offer “superscoring” so you can combine the highest scores from different sections. You’d have to take the ACT or SAT more than once for these things to help you.
Those are at least some of the reasons people take the SAT and ACT multiple times. Hope this helps!
