We offer six-week SAT preparation courses right here in Santa Clarita! These SAT preparation classes include two full practice exams. The SAT or ACT score is one of the primary factors used by colleges and universities in granting admission, while the PSAT score can qualify your child for certain scholarships. Our strategic approach to preparation will strengthen your child’s skills and maximize his or her score. A small investment in preparation now can improve your child’s opportunities for selection at the college or university of their choice.
SAT I Workshops Learn easy techniques for improving math and verbal scores. Over 20 hours of instruction are included in our basic class, as well as two practice tests. Our classroom environment encourages student-teacher interaction and the exchange of ideas. SAT preparation classes are available on Sundays as well.
SAT II A continuation of our SAT 1 course. All students seeking admissions to a UC will be required to take subject level tests including the IIC version of the mathematics exam. This high level test focuses on advanced mathematics through Pre-Calculus. Students will benefit by learning additional critical reasoning strategies and a more comprehensive review of the mathematics needed for this test.
ACT Students who will take the ACT will learn all of the strategies included in our original SAT workshop combined with individualized instruction in the area of Science.

PSAT: Why is this test important? Students have only one chance - October of their Junior year - to qualify for The National Merit Scholarship. To qualify for the National Merit Scholarship students must take the PSAT in October of their junior year in order to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship. This is a financial reward of $2500. This is a very prestigious award. Students who qualify for this are highly sought after by major universities across the nation and will most likely receive additional scholarships and awards from private corporations and private donors. The top 50,000 students taking the PSAT are eligible. Approximately 7,900 students receive the National Merit Scholarship.
