Students Who Attend Alyssa Petrone Test Preparation Can:Learn concrete strategies and methodologies that help “demystify” the test, thereby putting the student in control of the test rather than succumbing to it. Learn how to “pace” and work comfortably within the arbitrary time constraints of the test.Develop confidence and reduce test anxiety through regular, disciplined practice.Improve critical reasoning abilities through mastery of frequently asked question types including: inference, weakening/strengthening arguments, uncovering assumptions and comparing and contrasting Points of View.Develop higher levels of thinking by learning how to “synthesize” information.Identify and learn to overcome barriers to good performance such as, “overthinking”, making unwarranted assumptions, and carelessness.Learn the grammar most commonly used on the SAT, ACT, GRE and GMAT as well as the “tip offs” to spotting the errors on the tests.
For the last 19 years I have been thoroughly preparing students to take the Critical Reading, Reasoning and Writing portions of the SAT, ACT, SAT II Literature, GRE, and GMAT, and reading and writing portions of the ISEE, COOP and SSAT. As a former Princeton Review teacher and site leader, I was trained specifically to teach students how to understand and navigate the unique environment of the college admissions tests. Over the years I have built on my initial training by developing a methodology that enables students to calmly and rationally "work" each section of these tests. I have also developed numerous strategies - customized to fit the individual student's needs.
