Targeted Practice

Each session targets 1-2 new concepts, followed by homework assigned in a strategic 3:1 ratio. Seventy-five percent of the work will reinforce what was just covered, while the remaining 25% strengthens areas you're already proficient in. This ensures continuous improvement, eliminating unnecessary busy work and maximizing productive learning.

Test Pattern Recognition 

The key to ACT/SAT prep is mastering the test's patterns. We will outline the specific types of problems and concepts that are guaranteed to appear in each section, while also developing targeted strategies for those questions that tend to rotate from one test to the next. This way, you'll know exactly what to focus on and have the tools to address any surprises, ensuring you're fully prepared for test day.

Foundational Review

Your initial evaluation provides clear insight into your areas of weakness. We thoroughly review every concept you're unsure of, focusing solely on what’s necessary for the test—nothing more, nothing less. You'll receive precise guidance on the specific content you need to study, ensuring no time is wasted on unnecessary tasks or busy work.

Strategies and Tricks

While strategies and tricks are useful for the ACT/SAT, they are often overestimated. Without strong foundational skills, an understanding of test patterns, and targeted practice, these techniques offer limited value. We emphasize building core competencies and aligning strategies with the broader test prep process, ensuring they are applied effectively to significantly boost your scores.
