Test math isn’t a different subject — it’s the math you already know, asked under a clock with its own quirks. Deb White spent forty years teaching the algebra, geometry, and statistics every one of these tests draws from.

It’s the same math. The test just asks it differently.
The SAT, the ACT, and a college placement test all draw from the same well: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and a little statistics. What separates a strong score from a so-so one usually isn’t missing math knowledge — it’s the test-specific stuff: recognizing question formats fast, managing the clock, and not losing points to a careless error under pressure.
Deb has taught the underlying math for forty years at California community colleges. Test prep sessions start by finding which math is actually shaky, and which points are being lost to pacing or format — then go straight at whichever one is the real problem.

Who Deb helps prepare for test math
- High school juniors and seniors preparing for the SAT or ACT math sections.
- Students retaking the SAT or ACT specifically to raise a math subscore.
- Incoming or returning college students about to take a math placement test.
- Anyone who knows the math but loses points to pacing, careless errors, or test-specific question formats.

In Deb’s words
First we find the real gap — math, pacing, or both.
A low test score can come from two very different places: math that genuinely isn’t solid yet, or math that’s fine but is getting tripped up by the clock and the test’s own format. Treating both the same way wastes time. So the first session is diagnostic — we work through real practice problems and see exactly where points are actually going.
From there, if it’s a math gap, we go straight to the underlying topic — the same algebra, geometry, or statistics I teach everywhere else on this site — and fix it properly, not just enough to pass one practice set. If it’s pacing or format, we drill the specific question types under real time pressure until they stop costing points.

Common questions
- Is this a separate test-prep curriculum, or the same math you tutor elsewhere?
- It's the same math — algebra, geometry, and statistics — packaged around what each specific test actually asks and how it's timed. If a gap shows up that needs real depth, sessions point straight into the relevant algebra, geometry, or statistics topic page.
- Do you help with the no-calculator section of the SAT?
- Yes. The no-calculator section rewards clean mental math and smart shortcuts, and that's a specific, practicable skill — not just 'know more math.'
- How is ACT math different from SAT math?
- The content overlaps heavily, but the ACT gives you 60 questions in 60 minutes with no separate calculator restriction — pacing and question recognition matter more than on the SAT, where the sections are split and timed differently.
- What's actually on a college math placement test?
- It varies by school, but it's almost always testing whether arithmetic, basic algebra, and sometimes basic statistics are solid — because it decides which course you start in. Starting one level too low costs you a semester; starting too high without the foundation costs you a lot more.
- Do you tutor test prep online?
- Entirely online, one-on-one, over video, with a shared whiteboard for working through real practice problems together.
- What does it cost?
- Pricing is listed plainly on the pricing page, and the first 15-minute intro call is free — no commitment.
