Test Preparation



Our approach to Test Prep (and to everything) is student-driven: 

We work with each student to build upon their strengths and to overcome their weaknesses. 

Test taking strategies are emphasized throughout.

Each student is coached to want to do his/her own personal best.

Practice Tests

      • Sundays at 9AM

To effectively plan your preparation for an important test, you need to know where you are starting and where you want to be. Towards this end, we offer full-length, proctored practice tests in every subject.

We offer a wide variety of practice tests, and we'll give you a detailed results report and a recommendation for next steps towards achieving your desired test score.
