Q: How we help you improve your SAT / ACT test scores

We teach you the key, most frequently tested SAT and ACT skills, using questions drawn from real tests given by the test-maker. You’ll learn strategies applicable to all SAT/ACT questions, and others tailored to question-types found on each of the individual sub-tests. You’ll learn how to recognize “clues" in the answer-choices that will lead you quickly to the correct answer--the fastest way to eliminate wrong choices. Most important, we’ll help you analyze your mistakes and study intelligently: you’ll learn to group wrong answers into “most frequent errors” lists, so you can study more efficiently and decide which areas and question-types to review first. And we’ll give you stress reduction tips based on "mindfulness meditation" concentration techniques that will minimize your anxiety and improve your ability to focus on the day of the real exam.
