Students leave with the confidence that they can do well.
Comprehensive Course
About the Course
Tailored to your students’ score levels, this more rigorous class will delve deeply into the most frequently tested areas of the SAT and ACT. Students will receive an expanded academic content review and hone their skills using individualized test-day strategies. With interactive lessons and the option for targeted homework, students are peaked for the upcoming test dates.
Can a classroom program really be tailored to students’ score levels? Yes! Beginning either with students’ prior official test scores (including the PSAT) or one of our diagnostic practice tests, we will customize our lesson plan to address the skill gaps that will provide your specific cohort of students with the greatest score increases. If there are significant skill gaps, we’ll cover more foundational materials targeted to their needs. If high-fliers, we’ll motivate them with more challenging concepts and materials to push them even higher.
Once the program is underway, our subsequent specialized classroom reports provide additional insights that allow our Directors and highly-trained instructors to potentially make any necessary lesson plan changes in real time. Yes, adaptive lesson planning! And we don’t stop there. Our instructors assign personalized in-class assignments and homework based on a student’s individual scores. I know, wow! This truly is a customized course!
From academic skills to particular strategies unique to the SAT or ACT, our course covers a fair amount of material in a relatively short amount of time. The program includes up to three practice exams in order to best track progress and reinforce the endurance needed to complete these long exams.
To maximize score-increase potential we give students the opportunities to master new content, fine-tune their personal test-taking timing, and try out a few new approaches to some of the more challenging questions. Spread out over anywhere from six to eight weeks, our traditional 24-hour program assigns targeted homework for students to complete between lessons. If homework is not a viable option, we can build practice time right into the lessons, but recommend considering a longer program to accommodate the extra class time. Let us know your needs and we’ll customize an approach that works best for your families.
Refresher Course
About the Course
Unless a student has reached a score that assures them admission to his or her top-choice college, a second or third sitting for an official test is often suggested to try and push for the extra points. This program is specifically designed for students that have been through our traditional SAT or ACT Comprehensive Courses and want more help for another attempt at a test.
Not wanting students to repeat the same content, we have created this review course to highlight key strategies and dig deeper into skill gaps with all new practice materials. Students are encouraged to take one or two practice tests to again ready themselves for the official test date.
