This isn’t a death-by-slides situation. Here, we interact and use mental elbow grease.
Across Los Angeles County, 30.5 % of students meet California’s math standards; it’s 41.17% for English standards. Look at the numbers – not the colors – on your proficiency report. If 80% proficiency hasn’t been reached, working with a results-oriented tutor or test prep coach may be best, especially if you’re an A/B student.
If your city’s not listed below, you can still get the academic tightening needed now to avoid future grief from subpar SAT, ACT, GRE, HSPT, or Praxis scores and other defeats associated with wonky language and math abilities.
English- and math-based learning (for both native English speakers and English language learners) are my bailiwicks, but you can get help in biology, history, and some other subjects. If tutoring and test prep aren’t for you, semi-comprehensive consultation, document proof, document edit, audio transcription, or accountability/body doubling session can help.
