Is Your Child Going to Retake the ACT or SAT
Test this Winter?
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 December 2nd and then March 10th.
The next ACT will be December 9th and then February 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.
SAT vs. ACT: Choose Wisely
We often see students who feel more comfortable with one test over the other, so if you have the time to start early, we can create the best action plan for them moving forward this spring.
