Tips from the Top Delivers Action Plan for SAT and ACT Test Prep
Tutor to the 1% Recommends Minimum of 25 Minutes a Day
Milwaukee, WI (Aug. 2018) – Kreigh Knerr, a highly regarded standardized test tutor and educational app developer, is releasing a second edition of Tips from the Top: A Tutor to the 1% Reveals His Tricks.
In 13 chapters, Knerr delivers his insights as a private tutor, delves into the keys for success and addresses reasoning, reading comprehension, essay writing, math and science. He also shares his 10-week SAT and ACT plan of action for high school juniors and seniors. The second edition includes a new chapter on retaking the ACT and SAT.
“My goal is to give everyone access to an individualized test prep program – not just the students I tutor on a weekly basis,” says Knerr. “During the school year, if students spend just 25 minutes a day, they should make progress. Of course, I always recommend they invest more time, if they can, since even a one-point improvement on the ACT or a 10-point improvement on the SAT can increase scholarship money by thousands of dollars.”
A few of Knerr’s recommendations include:
- Juniors and seniors should read five books – Outliers; They Say, I Say; The Art of Deception; The Elements of Style; and Microstyle. Each addresses important elements that are woven into the ACT and SAT. For example, They Say, I Say introduces students to the type of academic writing that’s part of the ACT and SAT, as well as transitional words and phrases.
- Freshmen and sophomores should delay test-specific prep until the summer before junior year. Instead, they can build a base by:
- Reading books like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Animal Farm and How to Win Friends and Influence People;
- Utilizing Filament Games to cover the fundamentals of scientific reasoning;
- Working through Math Perplexors. Knerr recommends students begin with Level A, which is for eight- and nine-year-olds. In his book, he explains why it’s best to start with the introductory level.
- During the test, students should apply specific reasoning and efficiency techniques. For example, identify the worst answers and cross them out. Knerr provides more details on the benefits of this approach but the short explanation is that eliminating bad answer choices first reduces complexity, which allows the brain to reason faster and cover more test ground.
Knerr has spent thousands of hours researching, studying and taking standardized tests and, for the past 15-plus years, has tutored students throughout the United States and the world. He’s also created two test prep apps – QuotEd Reading Comprehension and QuotEd ACT Science.
