Frequently Asked Questions
What is covered during the strategy sessions?
The SAT strategy sessions will cover important strategies for students who wish to achieve a high score on the SAT or PSAT exams. Students will learn 7 high-impact strategies to boost their SAT scores in Reading and Writing and Math.
There will also be targeted practice for students so they can implement the strategies on official practice questions.

- Testing device (laptop, iPad, or Chromebook)
- Writing utensils (pencils, erasers, etc.)
- Notebook
All materials related to the content covered during the strategy session will be provided to students. Some materials will be sent to students electronically and some materials may be provided as a physical copy.
How many strategies will be covered?
here are more than 300 strategies that students need to master in order to achieve a high score on the SAT and PSAT exams.
We will be focusing on the 7 most impactful strategies to improve student performance. These 7 strategies will allow students to answer some of the toughest questions on the SAT.
If you have questions about any of them, please give us a call and we’ll happily provide additional nuance.
What if I want to learn more strategies?
Not every strategy works for every student. Strategies are most effective when they match the student’s current understanding of the exam material.
We cover hundreds of strategies when we work with students at our center. Students can participate in a group course or work with instructors on 1-on-1 basis to bolster their understanding of SAT, ACT, and PSAT content, strategies, and practice.
If, after the strategy session, you wish to continue your preparation for the SAT, ACT, or PSAT standardized tests, please get in touch with us at 404-919-7227. We’ll ask you a few questions and give you some guidance and recommendations for an appropriate testing timeline and target scores.
There is a lot of nuance when it comes to determining the optimal testing timeline for your student. Don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to help!
What can I do after the Strategy Session?
The best thing you can do is practice what you learn! You should continue to practice the strategies you learned during the session.
We recommend taking a Free Practice SAT and then reviewing the results with us to determine your optimal next steps. We will help you understand your strengths and weaknesses across the various topics on the exam and provide recommendations for a testing timeline, target scores, and preparation methods.
Most students choose to participate in some form of formal SAT preparation (a group course or 1-on-1 preparation) before they take the official exam.
There are hundreds of strategies for the various question types that show up on the Digital SAT. It’s important to know which ones are right for you and your understanding of the exam materials.
For example, if your Algebra skills are not at the level that the SAT expects, then learning the higher tier Desmos hacks won’t benefit you.
Give us a call at 404-919-7227 if you have specific questions for your student.

“I can’t believe how fast I can solve the hard math problems! I didn’t realize Desmos was so powerful. The really hard questions that take me 3 minutes to answer can now be done in 15-20 seconds using the Desmos hacks I learned. This is going to save me so much time on the [SAT] exam!” – Jack R.
