The SAT

The SAT focuses primarily on logical reasoning and abstract problem solving. For this reason, it is considered to be a “strategy-based test,” because students can boost their scores significantly by implementing specific strategies.

Our Approach to SAT Test Prep

Diagnostic Test – The student completes a full-length diagnostic test.
Tutor Selection – Our test prep tutoring specialist hand-selects a tutor who will best suit the student’s academic needs and personality.
Assessment – Educational Connections and your tutor determine the student’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas for greatest improvement using an analysis of the diagnostic test results.
Program Creation – A custom-designed program with goals is created to enable the tutor to target the areas in greatest need of improvement.
Session Structure – Instruction and homework target three key areas: content review, test taking strategies, and simulated test practice.
Streamlined Feedback – Parents receive progress reports after each tutoring session, and have access to our online portal, which provides practice test scores and feedback, homework assignments, and scheduling information.
