How does this workshop differ from independent study or online-only programs?
This course combines expert-led instruction, interactive, in-person learning, and data-driven online tools. Students benefit from real-time explanations, strategy instruction, and accountability—elements often missing from independent or self-paced programs. During each session, students will alternate between receiving instruction and practicing; the last segment of the class each evening will be a time to complete scored practice modules while the tutor answers questions. All data is tracked to focus on your student's individual needs for improvement.
Is this course aligned with the digital PSAT and SAT?
Yes. Instruction and practice materials are aligned with the current digital formats of both the PSAT and SAT. All materials are continually updated to adjust to the most recent data from PSAT and SAT testing.

Will this course replace the need for private tutoring?
This course provides a strong foundation and comprehensive preparation for many students. Families seeking additional individualized support may choose to continue strategizing with additional 1:1 sessions for future test dates. Nationally, students typically sit an average of 3 times for the SAT until they reach their target score.
