College Prep Curriculum

A comprehensive suite of services designed to support students in high school and college courses, prepare for entrance exams, and navigate college applications. There is a particular emphasis on building strong quantitative skills to prepare students for college degrees in STEM majors.

SAT & ACT Prep

Program Includes

  • 200+ pages of proprietary material with in-depth explanations of key exam concepts
  • 80+ guided example problems covering both Math and English sections
  • 100 essential vocabulary words with definitions, roots, and origins
  • Review and practice with 4 full-length practice tests to simulate the real exam
  • Content covering personal and persuasive essays, test-taking strategies, and how to avoid common exam mistakes

Choosing between the SAT & ACT

Choosing between the SAT and ACT can be tricky, as each test has a slightly different focus and format.  To select the best test for your needs, practice tests for both the SAT and ACT are available. After completing each test, a review of your results will be used to determine which exam best aligns with your strengths and college goals. 


Recently, the SAT exam underwent some changes, and the ACT has some expected changes for 2025 as well. Below is a summary of characteristics to consider:

SAT:


  • Sections: 2 Reading and Writing modules, 2 Math modules (no essay)
  • Timing: 2 hours 14 minutes
  • Math Content: Focuses on algebra, problem-solving, and some advanced math
  • Reading and Writing: Combines reading comprehension and grammar
  • Scoring: Composite score out of 1600
  • Calculator: Only allowed for part of the math section


ACT (Expected 2025):


  • Sections: English, Math, Reading + Optional Science & Writing Sections
  • Timing: 2 hours 5 minutes + 40 minutes per Optional Section
  • Math Content: Includes more advanced math (trigonometry, logarithms)
  • Science Section: Tests data analysis and interpretation skills
  • Scoring: Composite score out of 36
  • Calculator: Allowed for all math questions

College Application Assistance

Personalized assistance is provided for every aspect of the college application process. From selecting schools to crafting personal statements, students receive guidance to stand out in competitive applicant pools. 

GRE & GMAT Prep

Program Overview

The GRE and GMAT Prep programs are built upon the same structure of the SAT & ACT Prep curriculum with the addition of the upper-level quantitative, language, and writing skills necessary to succeed in graduate school. While these exams test many of the same fundamental skills, they introduce advanced topics specifically geared toward graduate-level study. The GRE and GMAT Prep Programs are designed to cover these advanced topics thoroughly and ensure that students are fully prepared for test day.


  • Quantitative Reasoning: The GRE and GMAT focus on college-level math, requiring mastery in areas such as algebra, geometry, and data analysis, while also testing higher-level topics like probability, statistics, and critical reasoning.
  • Verbal and Analytical Writing: The GRE and GMAT place a greater emphasis on complex reading comprehension and critical thinking. Additionally, students are tested on analytical writing skills in argumentative essay tasks.

GRE vs GMAT

The GRE is accepted by a wide range of graduate programs, including fields such as math, engineering, business, and more. It is considered a flexible option, testing higher-level math and verbal skills. The GMAT, on the other hand, is typically preferred by business schools, particularly for MBA programs, as it focuses more on the quantitative, analytical, and verbal skills needed for business and management. Many business schools view GMAT scores as a strong indicator of a candidate’s potential for success in their programs.

GRE:


  • Sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Analytical Writing
  • Timing: 1 hours 58 minutes
  • Math Content: Focuses on algebra, geometry, and data analysis
  • Verbal Content: Focuses on reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and vocabulary
  • Analytical Writing: One essay to analyze an issue
  • Scoring: Quant & Verbal sections scored out of 170 each, Analytical Writing out of 6
  • Test Flexibility: GRE is accepted by a wide range of graduate programs


GMAT:


  • Sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, & Data Insights
  • Timing: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Math Content: Emphasizes problem-solving, data sufficiency, and critical reasoning
  • Verbal Content: Focuses on critical reading, sentence correction, and logical reasoning
  • Data Insights:  Covers data analysis and interpretation and decision-making
  • Scoring: Composite score out of 805 
  • Business School Focus: GMAT is widely preferred by business schools
