ACT / SAT / GRE Test Prep

Strategy first. Scores follow.

The Prep Path

When to Start — and What to Focus On

Most families wonder about timing. Here’s how a multi-year test prep path can look, whether your student is just getting started or test day is around the corner.

10th Grade

Build the Foundation

Take a diagnostic to understand where things stand. Start building core skills in reading comprehension, grammar fundamentals, and math fluency. No pressure — just a baseline and a direction.

11th Grade

Targeted Prep

This is the main prep window. We focus on question-type strategy, pacing, and the specific content areas where points are being lost. Practice tests under real conditions, with detailed review after each one.

12th Grade

Refine & Retake

If needed, a focused retake window. At this stage, it’s about fine-tuning specific weak areas, managing pacing under pressure, and walking into test day confident. Most students see their biggest gains here.

How Each Session Works

Every session follows the same cycle.

Whether it’s your first session or your fifteenth, the structure stays consistent. Each meeting builds directly on the last.

Assess

Every session starts by reviewing what happened since the last one — what was practiced, what felt harder than expected, and where we need to adjust. If it’s the first session, we use a full diagnostic.

Build

Direct instruction on the specific skills and strategies that will move the needle. This isn’t generic review — it’s focused on the exact question types and content areas where points are being left on the table.

Practice

Work through real test questions together, applying the strategies in real time. This is where you get immediate feedback on approach, timing, and how to handle questions you’re unsure about.

Review

End each session by identifying what stuck, what needs more time, and what to focus on before we meet again. Every student leaves with a clear next step.
