WC/Urbana HS/1570/Aug24
When I first participated in Dr. Li's SAT camp I wasn't expecting much, at first I was averse to the idea and only came on my parent's suggestion. I had taken the last paper SAT in the year previous but didn't get a satisfactory result. Despite my experience with the paper SAT, I was completely unfamiliar and intimidated with the new digital version. Dr. Li's camp really helped me understand what to expect and how to prepare for such a challenge.
I believe one of the most helpful parts of Dr. Li's SAT camp was the instructors; each and every teacher that helped us on their respective portions of the DSAT had years and even decades of experience with the test. Each day is separated into 4 equal sections, focused on different skills useful to the SAT. Each teacher provided invaluable guidance on their respective skills and helped me on the journey to my goal score.
What set Dr. Li's camp apart from the self studying I did before was the in-person instruction. Although I could find video reviews of concepts I didn't understand, I found many online resources that were unclear or contradicted eachother. The instructors at Dr. Li's SAT camp were able to give me clear in-person guidance that was specifically tailored to my weaknesses and needs. Furthermore, the program also provides time-tested test taking strategies in addition to the commodious amounts of practice and review. I believe Dr. Li's summer SAT camp played a crucial role in helping me achieve my goal score of 1570. Because of this, I highly recommend this program!
