SAT Math Prep Syllabus

By Sophia Stewart, Khan Academy & Chat GPT.

Rules:
1. Student will spend at least 1.5 hours a day on this class.
2. Student may work ahead depending on planning. (MSG, Travel)
3. Student must finish the khan academy work first. Only after and only if there is time, can the
student proceed to other assignments. (Videos, Projects etc.)
