Test Prep FAQ

When should I start SAT/ACT prep?
This can be quite variable - especially since some students require more preparation than others. However, if possible, we recommend starting SAT prep by the summer after the sophomore year to be in time for the PSAT administration during the fall. Scores on the PSAT taken during the junior year will count for National Merit scholarships.

Retaking the SAT: how many times is too many?
Everyone, of course, would like to take this test only once. But retrospective studies have shown that students rarely achieve score increases after taking the SAT three times. You should prepare for the SAT wholeheartedly, with the intention of making your first time your last time.

How many AP courses and exams do I need to take?
This is one aspect that varies based on your courseload, time commitments, and college to college. You may "self study" for some examinations. Your target university, may or may not be generous with providing college credit for passing scores on AP examinations.

Where are you located?
We offer our services to students across the globe through online collaborative platforms. We offer in-person sessions to those living in the greater Houston area.
