It's Time to Prep for the SAT and ACT Tests!
Plan for your child to take a standardized test at least twice to give them the best chance of a high score.
The next SAT will be May 6th and then June 3rd.
The last Spring ACT will be on June 10th.
Our tutors have been fully trained in the new content
and test-taking strategies of both the SAT and ACT tests. We focus on time-management and customize our instruction to meet the needs of each student.
If you are not sure whether your child should take the SAT or ACT, please see the article below.
