Greetings, Code Breaker Crew!

With the August SAT less than 5 weeks away, now is the time to get serious about your prep. I've just added some powerful new content to help you master the most challenging Command of Evidence questions on the SAT:

What's New:

Unit 5.6: Mastering COE Cause-and-Effect Questions - Learn to tackle COE questions that test claims like "studying more leads to better test scores" or "room temperature affects productivity." You'll discover how to identify independent and dependent variables and apply your existing comparison skills to these trickier question types.

Unit 5.7: Mastering Indirect Reference Answer Choices - Master one of the most sophisticated COE patterns where answer choices use "stand-in" terms instead of directly mentioning claim elements. Learn the simple 3-step approach to handle these complex situations with confidence and speed.

Appendix 2: Real SAT COE Questions Featuring Indirect Reference - Practice with authentic SAT questions that demonstrate the indirect reference pattern, complete with explanations to help you identify the key associations.

Why This Matters:

These advanced COE patterns appear regularly on the SAT and often trip up even strong students. Here's the thing: these strategies aren't "rocket science," but attempting to master SAT Reading & Writing without these strategies can definitely seem like rocket science. Mastering these approaches will transform what feels overwhelming into something systematic and manageable.

But understanding these strategies is only the first step. For them to work for you on test day, you must practice them until they become habituated—second nature. This doesn't happen overnight. Remember: we don't rise to the occasion; we fall to the level of our training. With less than 5 weeks until the August test, every day of focused practice counts.

The new units build directly on your existing COE comparison skills, so you'll find the concepts familiar yet more sophisticated. Don't wait—dive into these units now and give yourself the edge you need for test day.

Happy studying!
