Since the curriculum you follow will be custom-tailored to your needs, the number of lessons will vary depending on your current skill set and your target score. On average, our students spend 12 lessons on the SAT math section and 7 lessons on the SAT verbal section. There are a few important variables that will affect the number of lessons you’ll require.

1) The distance between your beginning SAT score and the SAT score you want to achieve: the smaller this range, the shorter the time a student should require.
2) The amount of time you study in between your tutoring sessions: the more you can study, the quicker you will grasp the material.

We have found that two-hour lessons are ideal for many students. Of course if you prefer a longer or shorter lesson time, you may determine the length of each lesson.

Once again this depends on how much you need to improve and how often you can study. An ideal time frame of study is between 2 and 3 months. This should give you time to both learn the material and learn to incorporate your new knowledge into your actual practice.

Depending on how much time you have until your SAT, 1 to 2 lessons per week.

There is no perfect number. The SAT is a difficult exam that requires a substantial study commitment. We understand that as a high school student, you have a lot going on. The best thing to do is to treat the SAT as an extra class and attempt to study at least an hour a night, if possible.

Progress is tracked in three ways:

1) Through the homework given after every session. 2) Through practice online College Board SAT exams assigned by your tutor. 3) During each lesson through diagnostic problems that serve as checkpoints.

Although we want to make sure all of our students succeed and are completely happy with our service, we feel that it would be disingenuous for us to offer such a guarantee. Success on the SAT depends as much on your hard work and determination as on our great tutoring. These are factors we cannot control. However, we want you to be fully satisfied with our services and always invite your feedback. We’ll do all that we can to make this a successful experience for you.
