Mastering the SAT
NEWS AND UPDATES
3/29/20 AP Exam Update
AP exams will be open book this year, instead of relying on factual recall. They will be administered at home and will be 45 minutes of free response questions. Students will receive a keycode to access their exams, which will be sent either via My-AP Classroom or email. More information is due on April 3.
Right now in Santa Cruz County, schools are closed, and the May SAT and April ACT have been cancelled. I am proceeding as if the June tests will be administered, but it is likely that they will be cancelled as well. I will post the latest news as it is made available.

Want to get a higher score on the SAT?

I had no idea I was doing it all wrong. This is what Frannie R. said to me just after she started Mastering the SAT. She had good starting scores (around 1300) and thought she knew what she was doing. But during her first week of videos, she started to realize how many strategies it takes to get a truly amazing SAT score. Now she's on the road to a near-perfect score - and she knows exactly how to get there!

Why I created this course
|
My passion is to uplift and inspire everyone I work with. When my students are self-loving and inspired, they can excel beyond their own expectations. Seeing my students joyful and proud of their accomplishments and their parents appreciative (and relieved!) inspires me to continue adding the best new techniques and strategies to my curriculum, even after all these years.

What people have to say

"When my mom told me she signed me up for SAT prep, I can’t say I was excited; however, Jerilyn made the process completely painless. Working with her was exciting and, most of all, helpful. If you need help with preparing for the SAT, Jerilyn is your gal!"
~ Abby Pardue, Aptos High, 240 point increase |

"I originally doubted I could do much better on the SAT and thought that with a lot of help, I might manage a 2000 at the most. Jerilyn made the studying easy, and I got a score that's higher than I ever thought I'd be able to achieve. This rocks, and it works. Seriously, do it."
~ Sam Humy , Pacific Collegiate School, 250 point increase on SAT |

"I recommend Mastering the SAT highly and without reservation. Jerilyn is an outstanding instructor. She has a down-to-earth speaking style and sense of humor. I felt as if she was speaking directly to me across the dining room table. Her lessons are clear and detailed, her enthusiasm and friendliness are fun, and her test-taking strategies are effective. She is obviously knowledgeable about her subject matter. In this era of craziness and anxiety about SAT scores and getting into college, you can relax and know that you are in excellent hands with Freedom Test Prep. Jerilyn's approach is inspiring and actually enjoyable!"
~ Michele R., teacher, coach, college essay editor |

"I was initially anxious about starting the SAT preparation process; however, Jerilyn helped me every step of the way and, ultimately, set me up for success. Throughout the process, I consulted Jerilyn multiple times, and, on each occasion, she provided me with a focused environment where my specific concerns were addressed. In great part, I ascribe my success on the SAT to the Jerilyn's guidance."
~ Gabe Petersen, Scotts Valley High, Final score of 1490 |

"Jerilyn is a great communicator about test planning and test preparation strategy. She makes thoughtful, expert suggestions, not generic advice that I find on other websites."
