ACT/SAT Prep
Because “Test-Optional” Doesn’t Mean
“Skip the Exam.”
Even as more colleges have moved to test-optional admissions, ACT/SAT scores still play a major role at many colleges and universities in:
-
Merit scholarships
-
Honors program admission
-
Direct admission into competitive majors like nursing, engineering, and business program requirements
-
Accelerated medical, dental, PA, and pharmacy pathways
-
College placement and class registration opportunities
At many schools, strong scores can still create more options, more flexibility, and more financial opportunities for students.

Support may include teaching students:

A Realistic Approach to Test Prep
What Families Should Know
One session can be helpful for:
- a targeted review in one content area
- strategy refreshers
However, meaningful score improvement usually happens over time through repeated practice, strategy adjustments, and skill development.
Most students hoping for noticeable score improvement benefit from approximately 3–6 sessions per content area, depending on:
- baseline scores
- consistent practice between sessions
- testing timeline
- pacing and anxiety challenges
While every student is different, ACT/SAT score improvement is usually gradual and depends heavily on consistency, practice outside of sessions, testing anxiety, and baseline scores. Even a 2–3 point ACT increase can meaningfully impact admissions and scholarship opportunities at many colleges.
Test prep is rarely just about content knowledge. For many students, pacing, anxiety, confidence, and consistency play an equally important role in improving scores.
