Introduction

A friend of mine and I started an Instagram known as Satmate to assist those who were preparing for the Sat. The mission of starting this page was to provide daily questions to students prepping for the SAT and thus help them enhance their skills. In order to do so, we took questions from official practice tests, past papers, and Khan-academy. We were able to gain a considerable number of followers on our account and also develop a good schedule to post our questions and guides. Our goal was to conduct this activity before the December SAT so those appearing for it could use our platform as an added resource.

First, we gathered all the resources available to us that could help us in the future. We compiled a long list of questions and explanations that we could post for our viewers. Then we created a schedule based on the Indian time to design and post our questions so that the most number of people were able to view and answer them. Finally, we created the account and began following our plan. I am usually an organized person and like to allot time tasks beforehand to avoid panicking and confusion. This was also helpful in SATMATE to keep up with the requests of our followers and help the best we could.

Being disciplined and having perseverance was important in this experience if we wanted to maintain a steady posting schedule and help students better prepare for their SAT journey. We had to post at least 2 questions along with their answers on a daily basis in order to gain the required attention and to keep challenging the minds of the people about to give the SAT.

A major part of the experience was to be able to work in a group. While working in groups can have its benefits it can also have some unwanted disadvantages. It is important that we learn to work with groupmates and collaborate effectively in order to finish the task. When we started SATMATE it was difficult for us to communicate and collaborate with each other although once we got the hang of it we were able to create a good schedule where we would get our posts approved from one another and post on alternate days. Teamwork helped to divide the tasks in a fair manner and reduce the stress faced by both of us while also giving justice to the page we had started.
