Preparation Built Around the Current SAT & ACT Formats
The SAT is digital and uses two adaptive modules in Reading & Writing and two adaptive modules in Math. The current ACT has required English, Math and Reading sections, while Science and Writing are optional. Our preparation is organized around the version of the test the student is actually taking.
Diagnostic First
Identify content gaps, timing problems and recurring error patterns before building the study plan.
Targeted Practice
Combine focused skill practice with current-format questions and official practice resources where appropriate.
Progress Review
Use practice results to adjust priorities, pacing and the amount of review needed before test day.
Tell us the test, target date, current score range and goals, and we’ll discuss a focused preparation plan.
