While each tutoring program differs greatly from student to student, we generally following the following guidelines in preparing all of our students for standardized exams.

Diagnostic Exams

Every test preparation program begins with a diagnostic exam(s). The diagnostic exam(s) allow us to assess the student's strengths and areas of growth. After a tutor and a student go over the diagnostic exam(s), it is fill in the gaps time!

Fill In The Gaps

During this phase (after the first two or three sessions), the tutor will teach the student the topics in his/her areas of growth based on the results from the diagnostic exam(s). There are exceptions to this. Sometimes, we get students who do very well on our diagnostic exams and subsequently do not need a lot of gaps to be filled if any. In these cases, we skip to the next step.

Practice Tests And More Practice Tests

One of the many great things we offer are great targeted practice exams including a lot of official previously given (real) exams. Since we want our students to benefit from these great resources, we drill practice tests. In this phase, a weekly program for the student is to take a practice test (track improvement), go over the exam and go over strategies. This process repeats often until a student has seen at least 7 practice exams for a given test.
