ACT-SAT Foundational Course
Transform Your Test Scores with NYC's Most Effective College Entrance Exam Prep. Over 80% of our students Score 34+ ACT or 1500+ SAT
Our Approach: SAT & ACT Preparation
Test prep without solid fundamentals is just practice testing—it won't move the needle. We shore up content gaps first. We prepare students for both the SAT and ACT through dual diagnostic testing and personalized recommendations to ensure the best fit and maximize results. A comprehensive 3-module program that takes students to target scores through systematic instruction, intensive practice, and personalized coaching.
First Half • Building Foundations
Core Content Mastery
English: Grammar fundamentals and mechanics
Reading: Comprehension strategies and passage analysis
Math: Topics covering Algebra 2 (required for ACT, beneficial for SAT)
Second Half • Test Strategies
ACT/SAT Test Prep
Transition to test-specific strategies, timing techniques, and section-by-section practice. Students take their first official test at course end to experience real test conditions.
Most students need 3 attempts to reach target scores. This first attempt removes the mystery and anxiety.
