Our updated ACT + SAT prep program is designed to help students prepare for both exams while also offering options for students to focus on preparing for just one of the exams. Most US post-secondary schools require an ACT or SAT exam score, and the exam format and content may be unfamiliar to many students. Starting prep early and following a set prep schedule will help students master the exam. Upcoming dates for the ACT exam are in April, June and July and upcoming dates for the SAT exam are in May and June (US date only).
We have the following prep options available:
Mock Exams
This option includes a 4-hour exam (ACT or SAT), exam marking (including customized essay marking), and a 3-hour debrief. Each student is given a cover sheet to help them understand their successes and their areas needing improvement. In order to get an accurate estimate of a student’s abilities, we use only officially released ACT or SAT exams. This is the best “bang for your buck” prep wise, and the most crucial element of prep.
Weekly Prep
Core test skills classes at Options Solutions allow students to prepare for the ACT and/or SAT exam(s) while also building essential academic skills. Students develop their abilities as active readers, learn fundamental grammar, increase their understanding of essay structure, and improve their math skills. On-going classes prepare students for the ACT and/or SAT by teaching test structure and test-taking strategy. At the same time, students learn skills that translate into success at school in reading, writing, and math.
Weekend Prep
These weekend prep sessions are designed to deliver a concentration of exam prep. Each Saturday (and Sunday) is divided into two sessions from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 – 4:00 PM. The material used in Super Saturdays/Sundays and Super Weekends is different from any material used in previous prep sessions. Each Super Weekend is situated before an official ACT or SAT test date and is meant to be a focused weekend of study.
For a full list of program dates, please refer to our calendar.
