Test Prep (SAT & ACT, GMAT & GRE)
The test prep services use a personalized approach to preparing students for taking the standardized test to get into undergraduate programs (SAT & ACT) and graduate programs (GMAT & GRE) in the United States. Sessions can comprise one student, small groups of students or large classes. Classes are designed to meet the particular needs and preferences of individuals or groups. Diagnostic tests are administered at the start of the program to obtain a baseline score for students. At least two mock tests are administered along the way to assess and assure the upward progress of students’ scores.

The Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) is used for admission to private middle schools and high schools in the US and Canada. The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is used for admissions to some Catholic high schools in the US.
