What is the program?
Our SAT & ACT unified program prepares students for success on both exams at the same time. All of the curriculum has been developed in-house on the basis of decades of experience and field testing. This is not a boiler-plate off-the-shelf program!
Can I really prepare for these two tests at the same time?
Students prepare for both the SAT and ACT at the same time. Both exams test mostly the same passage-based reading skills, grammar, math, and persuasive writing techniques. Based on our deep insight into the exams, we are able to focus on the ways in which they are the same to allow our students to master the content and strategies demanded by both exams more quickly and efficiently. This unique unified approach puts your student in position to lead with the test scores that best enhance the college applications.
Why are these two tests so important?
No two schools grade their students in the identical manner. Therefore, colleges need some way to compare students from different schools when making their selection.These two tests are designed by College Board( SAT) and ACT, non-profit organizations, and are recognized by colleges as the most effective tool for comparing and screening future students for admission.
Will this help prepare for success in college?
Definitely! Your student will gain essential reading, writing and reasoning skills needed for college success.
Is there a lot of drill and homework?
No. We don't believe in repetitive drill for its own sake. Every exercise must relate directly to getting the best score! We use only the authorized practice tests issued by the SAT and ACT organizations , because only the problems in those tests correctly match the kind of problems you will see on test day. Every session will focus on what you need to succeed, because we know that your time, as a young adult, is precious and you have a lot to get done to achieve your dreams.
Can you send a tutor to my home?
Absolutely! Our tutors come to your home or office or any other convenient nearby location. Don't get caught in traffic; focus on learning!
I have a Junior. Should he or she take the SAT and ACT now?
Definitely! The junior year is critical. Your student needs to focus on grades, honors, advanced placement classes, and develop the portfolio of personal essay and unique projects that tell the college admissions officers that this is the student they want in their school. Get these exams out of the way as soon as possible!
What about Seniors?
This is the last chance before the application deadlines to submit test scores. Your youngster may not have realized how essential training is for this test, the preparation program may have been inadequate, or he or she may just have had a bad test experience. No matter! If the previous test score was poor, now is the last chance to bump it up !
Do you provide the material?
Though we provide all the curriculum an SAT & ACT student requires, every student will also need The Real ACT Prep Guide and The Official SAT Study Guide for practice tests.
