We have courses in mathematics:
You can start preparing for the SAT Math exam from 8th – 9th grade according to the preSAT program, which covers approximately 60% of the SAT course, as well as preparation for the DIM school graduation (certification) exam of the 9th grade. Or, if the level of knowledge allows, the child can start preparation from the 10th grade immediately according to the SAT program. Preparation according to the SAT, depending on the student’s base, takes from 6 to 9 months. In one year, we cover more than 12 books on SAT Math. If a child’s level of knowledge does not allow him/her to enroll immediately for SAT Math preparation, he/she needs to improve basic knowledge on mathematics, and then pass to the SAT level. We have facilities for such preparation -General Math and PreSAT programs.
SAT – is one of the most widely used University entrance exams in the world. Also, the SAT result is required for admission to the ADA. SAT stands for Scholastic Aptitude Test (Academic Assessment Test).
The SAT exam consists of 2 parts: Mathematics (in English; 58 questions) and English (Verbal Part; 96 questions). The mathematical section consists of two parts: in the first section you can not use a calculator (20 questions), in the second – you can (38). The verbal section contains two main parts: the reading section, in which the students must analyze how the author presented his argument, and the section of written English, in which the student must make corrections to the intentionally misspelled University-level texts. Besides, there is an additional essay section in which the student must analyze the literary and rhetorical techniques that the author uses to convey the argument.
Maximum SAT score: 1600. SAT Math and SAT English – 800 points each. Some universities accept applicants with 1000 or more SAT scores. However, most universities require more than 1200 points.
The Math parts of the GMAT and SAT exams are different. The GMAT math covers fewer topics than SAT. However, the GMAT exam, unlike SAT, focuses more on logic than theory. However, there are two global differences between GMAT and SAT – Data Sufficiency (in GMAT, not in SAT) and calculator (you can use it in SAT, not in GMAT).
GRE – is an exam for students entering the master’s program at the technical and more faculties of the MBA. It stands for Graduate Record Examination.
The GRE exam consists of three parts: Quantitative (Math), Verbal, Analytical writing. The maximum score on the GRE exam is 340 + 6 (170 – verbal, 170 – quantitative, 6 – writing). The result of the GRE exam is valid for 5 years. To enroll in the master’s program, it may be enough to pass only the GRE, but mainly you also need to pass IELTS, TOEFL or PTE Academic. Besides, the student must have a good GPA from the University where he/she studied for a bachelor’s degree.
IGCSE – is a certificate awarded based on high school graduation exams. This is a program of schools with the British Curriculum teaching system. It stands for International General Certificate of Secondary Education. IGCSE certificate is issued on each subject. That is, IGCSE in geography, history, mathematics, and so on. Basically, it is necessary to pass the exam in 7 subjects. The maximum score on the IGCSE exam is A* (A star).
At Leznik & Co. courses there is preparation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, history, and English according to the Cambridge IGCSE program.
A Level is a 2 – year program, at the end of which children pass an international exam and receive certificates in each subject. The program is studied in various international schools. It stands for Advanced Level. There are no restrictions on subjects in A-Level, usually universities require to pass at least four A-Level subjects. The maximum score on the A Level exam is A*. After passing the A Level, you can immediately enter the first year of University. When entering the universities of such countries as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, in addition to A Level, you must also pass TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE Academic.
The Goal of creating the IB (International Baccalaureate) was to bring together all known secondary education systems so that the diploma of this program was recognized by universities of any country at the level of national school diplomas.
The IB program consists of PYP (Primary Years Program), MYP (Middle Years Program), and DP (Diploma Program) :
PYP primary school program – for children aged 5 to 11;
MYP main school program – for children aged 11 to 16;
the DP high school program – for students aged 16 – 19. Upon completion, children receive a certificate.
To get an international certificate, it is necessary to pass 6 IB subjects.
In addition to IB, when entering the universities of such countries as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom it is also required to pass IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic.
AP (Advanced Placement) it is one of the possible entrance exams for students from countries such as the United States and Canada. As the name suggests, all subjects are studied there in depth (at the advanced level). This preparation program includes a wide range of subjects. Students can choose one or more subjects, depending on their goals and abilities. Part of the material studied according to this program in terms of complexity corresponds to the materials of the first year of study at the University.
The Advanced Placement program consists of courses in 34 subjects. Pupils choose several subjects from the suggested areas for in-depth study. These may include foreign languages, natural and social sciences, art, computer science, mathematics, and sociology.
The most popular mathematical direction for students -Calculus (Higher mathematics, mathematical analysis). Students often face problems when studying this subject at the University, so we suggest preparing according to Calculus in advance. We also have a PreCalculus program. In particular, Calculus is necessary for students of the faculties of engineering, economics and information technology. In addition, we offer training programs for students on Statistics, Economics, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, Game Theory, and so on.
It is not necessary but highly desirable to pass the SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1 or 2. Although not all universities require a result on SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1 and Level 2, we recommend that each student take at least the SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1, as these scores give him/her an advantage in the competition for admission. Especially since SAT Math and SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1 topics are identical. Also, the existence of additional Subject Tests contributes to obtaining a Scholarship (discount on training).
You can prepare only for SAT Math, but the SAT Subject Test in Math Level 1 program is completely identical to SAT Math, while Level 2 is 20% more difficult than Level 1.
