Free course · How to Take a Standardized Test

Every standardized test has a pattern. Here's how to use it.

A 10-page guide to pacing, elimination and when to guess, plus a video where I walk through it and a few quiz questions to check it stuck. It's the first thing I teach every student, whatever the test: ISEE, SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT.

What's inside

The guide

Ten pages on how standardized tests are built and how to use that against them: pacing, process of elimination, when to guess and when to skip, and what to do in the last five minutes.

The walkthrough

A video where I go through the guide the way I would with a student in front of me, with the examples I actually use in class.

The check

A few quiz questions after the video so you know the ideas stuck, with explanations for every answer.

Who's teaching

I'm Tim Ricchuiti. I taught test prep for a national company for ten years and teach math at a private school now. The tests change; the way they're built doesn't. This is the part that transfers.
