$75 Test Selection, Strategy & Evaluation

Before more practice, get a clear view of test fit, strengths, weaknesses and the preparation path.

  • Compare SAT and ACT fit
  • Review current performance and score patterns
  • Identify content and strategy gaps
  • Build a realistic preparation recommendation

If the student enrolls in the $599 English preparation program, the $75 evaluation fee is applied to the program fee.

Practical preparation

Focus the sessions on what the student can actually use.

The plan is intentionally direct: understand the question, choose a strategy, practice it correctly and recognize when to use it.

Select

Choose the test that better fits the student’s strengths, pacing and comfort.

Target

Identify the content and question types creating the largest score losses.

Practice

Use easy-to-apply English and math strategies with deliberate practice.

Refine

Adjust pacing and decision-making as performance becomes more consistent.

Preparation paths

Choose the focus after the evaluation.

English and math can be planned separately so preparation time goes where it matters most.

Math preparation
4–6 sessions

Targeted math support

Review the math skills and question patterns identified during evaluation, then practice efficient problem-solving and test-day decisions.

Math plan and fee are confirmed after the evaluation so the scope matches the student’s needs.
