Our Approach: SAT & ACT Preparation

Test prep without solid fundamentals is just practice testing—it won't move the needle. We shore up content gaps first. We prepare students for both the SAT and ACT through dual diagnostic testing and personalized recommendations to ensure the best fit and maximize results. A comprehensive 3-module program that takes students to target scores through systematic instruction, intensive practice, and personalized coaching.

First Half • Building Foundations

Core Content Mastery

English: Grammar fundamentals and mechanics
Reading: Comprehension strategies and passage analysis
Math: Topics covering Algebra 2 (required for ACT, beneficial for SAT)

Second Half • Test Strategies

ACT/SAT Test Prep

Transition to test-specific strategies, timing techniques, and section-by-section practice. Students take their first official test at course end to experience real test conditions.

Most students need 3 attempts to reach target scores. This first attempt removes the mystery and anxiety.

After Course • Continued Success

Summer & Fall Modules

Continue with intensive bootcamps and targeted modules to refine skills, perfect timing, and maximize scores across multiple test attempts.

Reach your target scores through deliberate, structured preparation—not random practice
