SAT, ACT, SHSAT (NYC Specialized High Schools), ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam), and SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test). Each program includes diagnostic assessment, personalized study plans, and full-length practice tests.

We recommend 3-6 months before the test date. Most students begin in spring of sophomore year or fall of junior year. Students needing significant improvement benefit from starting earlier. We assess readiness during the diagnostic session.

6-9 months before the test (typically late October). Starting in spring or summer of 7th grade gives enough time to build skills. Some students benefit from earlier foundational work.

It depends on the starting point. SAT students who complete our full program (15-20 sessions) typically see 150-250 point improvements. SHSAT and ISEE improvements vary by student. We set realistic targets during the diagnostic.

Kindergarten through Grade 12 in all core subjects: math, reading, writing, science, and history. We also offer test prep (SAT, ACT, SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT), homework help, study skills, and our NYS-approved Genius Plan.
