Spread across four years, not crammed into one.
The goal isn't four straight years of test prep. It's spreading the same total effort across four years instead of cramming it into six stressful months of junior year. Here's how that actually breaks down, grade by grade.
Build strong study habits and close any gaps in core math and reading skills. A baseline practice test is useful here just to see a starting point, not to prepare intensely.
Take the PSAT for practice and early exposure to the format. Start light, consistent test-skill practice alongside regular coursework — no cramming yet.
This is typically when the PSAT counts toward National Merit consideration, and when most students take the SAT or ACT for the first time, often more than once. AP exams for junior-year courses land here too. This is the year the earlier groundwork pays off.
Any final retakes, application-specific requirements, and using senior year for applications rather than starting test prep from zero.
The goal isn't to do more work overall — it's to make sure no single year has to carry all of it.
Our SAT/ACT sessions focus on test mechanics, pacing, and section-specific strategy — taught by tutors who took these tests recently and know what actually shows up on them.
