SAT/ACT Preparation

Whether you are taking the test for the first time, or retaking the test during your Senior year, your score matters! Our talented team can help your student decide which test is right and help determine the best time to take the test. A lot goes into deciding the perfect date for your student’s test date, as sports, clubs and other commitments can make scheduling tutoring very difficult. That’s why our exceptional team of tutors work around your schedule to make the process a breeze!

The College Blueprint will help you and your student prepare for the SAT or ACT with self-confidence, organization, and positive results! Your family is invited to join a supportive group of professionals who can give you the tools necessary to score well on the SAT or ACT. Our SAT/ACT preparation program includes:

  • Personalized academic evaluation
  • One-on-one test prep
  • Experienced tutors who have succeeded in taking the SAT
  • Flexible and personalized scheduling
