Who should choose Test Prep Elite?

For students taking the SAT who are either:

  • Unable to make SPP’s Group Test Prep Course

  • Scoring less than 1200 overall

  • Scoring over 1200, and want to improve your score on both Math & Reading/Writing Modules

  • If scoring over 1200, and you only want to improve your score on either Math or Reading/Writing, then Essentials is likely enough

For students taking the ACT who are either:

  • Scoring less than 25 overall

  • Scoring over 25, and want to improve your score on 3 or more modules of the test

  • If scoring over 25, and you only want to improve your score on 1-2 sections, then Essentials is likely enough

PRACTICE EXAMS: We recommend that students take practice exams in our office in the presence of a proctor in order to simulate the real test as closely and as frequently as possible. However, If you CANNOT attend a scheduled practice exam in person, you may take this exam digitally at home through Test Innovators.

DEVICES: Just like the regular SAT, students are expected to provide their own devices. Click for a list of SAT approved devices. Please bring the device you intend to take the official DSAT (Digital SAT) with you to all practice exams and class sessions.
