FAQ

What lessons are on the SAT?

The SAT includes math, evidence-based reading and writing, and essay lessons. When you sign up for private SAT lessons, your tutor will walk you through each section to help you understand the format and know what to expect. From there, your tutor will determine what areas you need to improve and provide you with the tools to help you boost your overall score.

How do I prepare for the SAT?

Aside from taking practice texts and working on SAT examples, one of the best ways to prep is to join private SAT lessons. These lessons are such a valuable investment! Your tutor will customize your lesson plans so that you can focus on the areas that are most challenging to you. Your tutor will help you understand the test so that you can better prepare yourself and go into your next exam with confidence.

At what age should you start preparing for the SAT?

Some students start preparing for the SAT exam as early as the eighth grade, while others begin their lessons later in high school. Some students even take the SAT after high school. In other words, age doesn’t necessarily play a role in your studies.

That said, the earlier you start, the more relaxed of an approach you can take. Feeling well prepared comes with the benefit that you’re not stressed and worried about cramming for the exam. Keep in mind that every student’s journey is unique, which is why we offer SAT lessons for students of all ages and backgrounds.
