SAT Subject Tests are required or recommended for admissions into many selective colleges. As you are researching colleges, it is important to find out if subject tests are needed in addition to the ACT or SAT.
We can help you plan out the best time to take these tests to maximize your child’s score. Most schools are looking for a score of 700 or above. We offer diagnostic pre-tests for most of the subject tests, and we can help you select which tests are best to take and create a customized tutoring plan for those tests.
