A short note for parents · 5 minutes
How I find where SAT points are being lost.
In this short breakdown, I explain the SAT Precision Framework: how I review a student’s work, identify the real score bottleneck, and decide what should be fixed first.
Send the current score, target score, and test date. I’ll tell you what I would fix first.
The method
The SAT Precision Framework.
The same way of thinking that took me to a perfect 1600, broken into three steps your student learns to run on their own.
Diagnose.
It starts with an audit. Every missed question is sorted by its real cause, not just “math” or “reading.”
Target.
Most students don’t need 20 concepts. They have two or three patterns costing them points, and that is where every lesson goes.
20 topics · 3 patterns worth the time
Rehearse.
Fixes are practiced under real timing until they hold, so your student walks into the SAT with a plan instead of hoping.
