Frequently Asked Questions about Standardized Tests
The SAT focuses more on reasoning and problem-solving, with sections for Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. The ACT assesses curriculum-based knowledge, covering English, Math, Reading, and Science, with an optional Writing section. Many colleges accept either, so choosing the right test often depends on a student's strengths and preferred question styles.
We recommend taking practice tests for both the SAT and ACT to see which format feels more natural and where your scores align. Our initial assessment can help determine your strengths and guide you towards the test where you're most likely to excel, then we build a tailored prep plan.
The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is a standardized test used for admission to independent elementary, middle, and high schools. It assesses quantitative, verbal, and reading skills appropriate for students in grades 3-11. If you're applying to private schools, the SSAT is often a required component of your application.
Most students take the SAT or ACT two to three times. The first attempt can be a learning experience, and subsequent attempts often show improvement after targeted preparation. We help you strategize the best timing for your tests to maximize your score.
