SAT, ACT & AP Test Prep
Test prep built around your target test date and starting score — in your home or online.
Preparation for every major exam
Every major exam
SAT, ACT, AP, ISEE, SSAT, HSPT, and other entrance and placement exams.
A plan around your date
Your tutor builds a prep plan around the test date and current scores, with practice tests along the way.
In-home or online
Prep at home or over video on your schedule.
Prep that fits your student, not a classroom
A test-prep class moves at the pace of the room. One-on-one moves at the pace of your student. Your Elite tutor starts by finding the exact points that are costing your child — a math concept, a reading-timing habit, a grammar rule — and spends every session on what will actually move the score.
Every tutor holds a college degree, clears a background check through Checkr, and is chosen for fit with the test your student is taking. You meet yours in a free first session before anything begins, and a manager checks in as prep continues to make sure the plan is working.
How test prep works, step by step
1 · Free first session
Meet your tutor and set the target test, test date, and starting score — no cost, no obligation.
2 · Diagnostic
A full-length practice test shows exactly where the points are, so prep targets real gaps instead of guessing.
3 · A plan around your date
Your tutor builds a week-by-week plan back from the test date, mixing concept work with official practice questions.
4 · Practice tests along the way
Timed practice tests track progress and build stamina, so test day feels familiar.

SAT, ACT & AP prep questions
When should we start test prep?
Most families start 2–3 months before the test date, and earlier for a bigger score jump. Sooner means smaller, lower-stress sessions — but a focused month still helps. Tell us your date and we build back from it.
SAT or ACT — which should my child take?
Both are accepted everywhere. The digital SAT is shorter and adapts to your student; the ACT tends to be more fast-paced. The best test is the one your student scores higher on — a quick diagnostic of each is the surest way to tell. See our SAT vs. ACT guide.
Do you prep for AP exams too?
Yes. We tutor AP courses and exams across subjects — building both the content mastery and the exam strategy for the May exams, which are scored 1–5.
Is prep in-home or online?
Either. Prep at your kitchen table with a local tutor, or over video anywhere in the country — your schedule, your choice.
