Test Prep
While the pandemic has caused confusion over the importance of the ACT & SAT to college admissions, these scores are still critical to earning many major scholarship awards and is now being reinstated as admissions and merit-scholarship metrics. In addition to college entrance exams, AP and IB exams are an essential component of a student’s college admissions package.
Our test preparation services are customized to a student’s needs and timeline - we work diligently to help them prepare and succeed in order to reach their goal scores. Our services include:
ACT and SAT Exams
There is a major difference between the ACT and SAT and we advise that students focus on the one that best matches their strengths. Upon consultation and initial baseline exams, we guide students through the appropriate test by providing comprehensive individual tutoring, diagnostics, proctored exams, and customized homework using real practice tests.
Advanced Placement (AP) Exams
AP courses are an excellent way to receive college credit and reduce future tuition costs while still in high school. However this credit relies entirely on whether or not students pass the exams at the end of the year. With students taking these courses as early as 9th grade, it’s crucial they receive support to reach the scores required by their future schools of choice. We provide comprehensive one-on-one support for each of the AP exams to ensure students maintain a high GPA while maximizing their scores for college credit.
International Baccalaureate (IB) Exams
In order to receive college credit for IB coursework, students are required to receive passing scores on both higher level (HL) and standard level (SL) exams. For individual exams, most colleges will provide 1-3 course credits depending on each exam score and completion of the IB Diploma. We work with students to prepare and maximize their scores in order to receive as many college credits as possible while maintaining a strong GPA.
Proctored Practice Exams
In order to be successful on ACT/SAT, AP/IB, or any other important exam, students need to practice in conditions that are as close to the actual test as possible. This means early morning exams that are proctored using real, full length tests. By undergoing this level of practice, we ensure our students are confident walking in on test day knowing they are fully prepared.
Diagnostics
Diagnostics are an incredibly useful tool to identify the specific concepts that students need to review in order to maximize their test scores. Using our diagnostics for ACT & SAT exams, we are able to create comprehensive study plans that empowers our students and teachers to be efficient with their time while working towards maximizing each student’s score.
