SAT/PSAT/ACT
PREPARATION
A Smarter, Two-Phase Approach to SAT Success
Students don’t lose points on tests because they lack strategy. They lose them because key academic skills need strengthening. This is why our SAT/ACT courses begin by rebuilding the grammar and math foundations the exams measure. Once these skills are solid, we shift into targeted SAT/ACT training focused on digital format, adaptive strategy, pacing, and the specific error patterns holding students back.
Phase 1: Core (10 sessions)
Before strategy can make a difference, students need a strong academic foundation. Over five weeks, we rebuild the Reading/Writing and Math skills that the SAT/ACT truly measure. Instruction focuses on high‑impact areas including punctuation and sentence boundaries, transitions and rhetorical purpose, command of evidence, inference and cross‑text analysis, linear equations and systems, ratios and data interpretation, quadratics and functions, geometry, and trigonometry. By the end of this phase, students have the content knowledge required for meaningful score growth.
Phase 2: Boot Camp (4 sessions)
Once core skills are solid, we shift into targeted SAT/ACT preparation. Students learn how the digital, adaptive format works, how to manage pacing across modules, and how to triage questions strategically. We analyze individual error patterns and teach students how to correct the habits costing them the most points. This phase ensures students walk into test day confident, prepared, and ready to perform at their best.
