Each student starts with a base level of knowledge and an improvement goal. Our 5-step process leads to significant score improvements in the Math, Critical Reading, and Writing sections.
- Step 1: Assess Current Levels. We look at PSAT and previous SAT and ACT results, as well as our own diagnostic tests. This lets us assess knowledge in specific areas, the ability to work quickly, as well as surface any anxiety issues.
- Step 2: Identify Knowledge Gaps and Speed Issues. Each student has topics that are stronger and weaker. Identifying these up front leads to better results for the effort and investment.
- Step 3: Integrated Teaching of Material and Test Taking Techniques.
- Step 4: Practice and Continuous Feedback.
- Step 5: Test Day Planning: Includes visualization and confidence-building strategies.
