How our SAT and ACT Test Prep Works

  • Schools partner with us to offer classroom courses for 9th, 10th, and11th graders

  • Our highly trained, expert instructors teach the classes at your school 

  • Classes meet once or twice per week for a total of 24 or more hours of instruction

  • Each course includes three, full-length practice SAT or ACT tests that are similar to the most up-to-date exams

  • Classes typically begin in the fall or 2-3 months before the test date

  • The school may choose to offer courses with flexible scheduling, including during or after school, or on Saturdays

Data-Driven Instruction Raises Test Scores

Academic Approach applies a research-based, data-driven instructional cycle to its test preparation courses

  • Assessment – Each class begins with a diagnostic assessment of each student 

  • Analysis – Results are analyzed to design a custom syllabus for each class

  • Action – Instruction of skills-based curriculum is implemented to be responsive to student needs

  • Repeat – Assessment, analysis, and customization of curriculum continue to ensure students experience increases in test scores and improvements in achievement in high school, college, and throughout their careers
