It's all thanks to Mrs. Card and her advice for how I was able to bump up my second SAT score by 70 points. She has a very unique way of how she approaches students. No matter how well or poor my results on a test, quiz or any assignment were, she never once increased the pressure nor did she ever raise the intensity on me. She was always consistent. I stopped working with her after my second SAT, right before senior year began. However, I reflect back on how being tutored and given important advice by Mrs. Card was a major reason for how I became an all A student my senior year of high school. Mrs. Card is the one!
