You don’t need to relearn years of math to get a higher score, you just need the right tools and strategies that make the test easier.
THERE IS HOPE
AÂ Different Approach That Works!
Are You Ready To...
-
Stop memorizing formulas you’ll forget the moment you sit down for the test, and start getting results without needing to know it all yourself.
-
Stop solving equations by hand and start using calculator tools that save time and eliminate careless mistakes.
-
Start trusting methods that bypass the need for that knowledge and lead you straight to the correct answer.
Imagine walking into the SAT® knowing you can skip the stress, skip the memorization, and still get the right answers.
You don’t need to relearn every formula.
You don’t need to solve every problem the “math teacher” way.
Because there’s another way, an easier, smarter way.
With built-in calculator functions, our exclusive calculator programs, and Desmos strategies, you’ll know exactly what to do when others freeze.
No more “I don’t know.” Instead, you’ll think, “Let’s see what else works.”
 Because when you know how to think differently, the SAT® starts to feel easy.Â
Yes, It Really Is Possible!Â

Hi, I’m Linda!
I’ve spent the last 28 years as a full-time math tutor in South Florida, helping students with a variety of math courses and standardized tests. While I’ve always loved helping people to understand the underlying logic of math (and couldn’t live without a daily dose of this), I know that preparing students for tests such as the SAT and ACT requires a very different approach. That is why I started X Factory Test Prep. Seeing students improve their math scores quickly, by using my calculator-focused methods, is exactly what I thrive on.
Here’s a little something extra about me: I’m a sucker for puzzles of all sorts. I LOVE building IKEA furniture (really). My happy place? Anywhere with fresh snow. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me outside - by the lake, in the garden, or out biking.
