One-on-one SAT prep with me, Nico — my students typically gain around 150 points. The digital SAT adapts to your student: do well on the first module and the second gets harder, which is exactly where the top scores live. We train for the harder branch on purpose.
★★★★★ 5.0 on Google · evenings until 9 PM
Two sections, four modules, about 2 hours 14 minutes, scored 400–1600. It's fully on computer, and the built-in Desmos graphing calculator is allowed on every math question — so calculator fluency is now a scoring skill we train deliberately.
The adaptive structure is the strategic heart of it: your student's accuracy on each first module decides whether their second module is the harder, high-ceiling one. Careless early mistakes don't just cost points — they cap the maximum.
The digital SAT rewards a specific kind of preparation: accuracy early, calculator fluency always, and calm under a clock that gives you more time per question than you'd expect — if you don't waste it.
Accuracy on the first module unlocks the harder second module — and the top scores. We drill early-question discipline until careless errors stop happening.
The built-in calculator can graph its way through problems most students grind by hand. Knowing when to reach for it is worth real points.
Timed digital practice weekly, reviewed line by line — and you get a note from me after every session, so you always know the trajectory.
If yours isn't here, call me — the consultation is free and I answer my own phone.
It's shorter — about 2 hours 14 minutes — fully on computer, and adaptive: how your student does on each section's first module decides whether the second module is harder or easier.
The harder second module is where top scores live, which changes how you prepare. A calculator (the built-in Desmos) is allowed on every math question, so calculator fluency is now a scoring skill, not a crutch.
Whichever diagnostic they score better on, adjusted for how each test feels to them — the SAT gives more time per question, the ACT rewards speed.
In the consultation we can plan a diagnostic of each. Colleges accept both equally; nobody needs to take both officially.
Most of my students take their first official SAT in spring of junior year, with a 12–20 week prep block before it and a fall retake in reserve.
That calendar leaves room for a planned second sitting before applications — and many colleges superscore, so a strong section on either date counts.
My students typically gain around 150 points between their diagnostic and their best official score.
That comes from 13 years of students, not a marketing page. The diagnostic in week one tells you exactly where your student starts — and I'll be straight with you about what's realistic.
