Areas of Expertise
Shsat
Specialized High School Admissions Test: NYC's flagship high schools provide an elite secondary education at no tuition cost. Admission is based solely on a 3-hour exam administered each fall. We are experts at helping students excel at this highly competitive test. In the past, our students have gained admission at Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, and the High School of American Studies at Lehman College.
ACT
American College Testing: Accepted by all four-year colleges and universities in the United States, The ACT continues to evolve, most recently with a streamlined, shorter format and an optional Science section. We know the ins and outs of the current exam and can help maximize a student’s score. Our students now attend prestigious institutions such as Brown, Harvard, Northwestern, and Amherst.
ISee
Independent School Entrance Exam: Administered by the Educational Records Bureau (ERB), this test is often required for admission to day schools. It tests students in three broad areas: Verbal Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics, and is similar in structure to the CTP exams (also administered by the ERB) that many students take each year at their independent schools. Schools our students have gained admission to include Berkely Carroll, Horace Mann, and Poly Prep.
SAT
Scholastic Assessment Test: This classic standardized test is now a fully digital adaptive exam scored out of 1600. It continues to reward close reading, careful reasoning, and thorough preparation. We are fully up to date on the current format and have the best materials on hand to help students master it.
SSAT
Secondary School Admissions Test: While this exam was traditionally taken by students applying to boarding schools, it has become accepted in place of the ISEE at many day schools as well. (Check with your school's admissions office). It differs from the ISEE mainly in having a slightly more difficult verbal section and a slightly easier math section. We are experts on the SSAT and our students consistently excel on this test.
