Frequently Asked Questions About Our SAT Test Prep Tutoring Services
Most students begin SAT prep three to six months before their test date to allow enough time to build skills, confidence, and endurance. Starting early helps prevent cramming and gives tutors time to strengthen both subject knowledge and test-taking strategy.
Our SAT test prep tutoring combines personalized one-to-one instruction, targeted practice, and digital SAT strategy coaching. Every student follows a customized plan focused on score improvement, pacing, and confidence — with regular progress check-ins for parents.
The SAT is scored on a 1600-point scale, with separate scores for Math (800) and Reading & Writing (800). Our tutors help students understand how questions are weighted and where to focus their study time for maximum score improvement.
A “good” SAT score depends on your student’s target schools. Competitive universities often look for 1300–1500, while many strong regional programs start around 1100. During tutoring, we help students set realistic goals and create a plan to close score gaps efficiently.
We start with a free practice test and consultation to understand your student’s strengths, challenges, and goals. From there, we match them with a test prep tutor who fits their learning style and personality — creating a customized plan that adapts over time.
