I hate grammar and am, in general, not a great writer or reader. The idea of having to take an exam that tested my knowledge of dangling modifiers and ambiguous pronouns was terrifying. But my MAP tutor brought out skills in me that I never thought I had and gave me a whole set of test-taking tips that allowed me to score at the very top of the SAT Literature exam and ace the Reading section of the SAT.  I never thought I had that potential in me. After working with MAP, my SAT and SAT Subject Test scores shot up, as did my overall belief in my literary abilities.
