 FAQs

  • It depends on your goals, but most students should start at least 3-6 months before their target test date. For high scorers aiming for top colleges, starting 9-12 months in advance allows for more practice and strategy refinement. Most students are ready to take their first SAT after their freshman year of high school, giving them plenty of time to improve and retest if needed.

  • Most students take the SAT 2-3 times to achieve their best score, regardless of prep. The first attempt provides a baseline, the second allows for improvement, and a third can help maximize a superscore. Even without formal prep, many students see natural gains between tests simply by becoming more familiar with the format and pacing. However, strategic preparation can significantly boost results in fewer attempts.

  • The best approach depends on your learning style and goals. Some students prefer self-study using official practice tests and online resources, while others benefit from structured courses or one-on-one tutoring. Regular practice, timed tests, and targeted review of weak areas are key to improving scores. No matter how you prep, consistency and strategy make a big difference.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
