Stay sharp between test prep and future exams.

“We assumed our son would need to take the SAT more than once. With Stay Sharp, he was able to review all that he had learned in his Small Group class. He reached his goal on the second SAT!”
– Sunil G, parent

Most students take the SAT or ACT more than once.

Conquering the SAT or the ACT is a process. Most students who are applying to top tier colleges and universities will take these standardized exams two or three times. The majority of institutions of higher learning superscore the SAT and ACT. This means that they will determine the section-level SAT score by taking the student’s best score for math and best score for reading. For the ACT, the superscore composite is determined by taking the average of the best scores for the math, reading, English, and science sections of the ACT. So it’s often in a student’s best interest to take the exam more than once to refine a particular section score.

Stay Sharp is a 5-week live instructor virtual review course for students who have already completed our in-person SAT small group test prep program. This course will review the most successful strategies from the in-person course while incorporating several additional strategies and approaches for students still looking to strengthen their confidence. Students in Stay Sharp will also gain access to two additional proctored practice tests to employ their new skills.

So how do students prepare for the second or third time they take the exam?

Can my daughter take Stay Sharp if she hasn’t taken your Small Group SAT/ACT Test Prep course?

No, she may not. Our Stay Sharp curriculum is aligned with how we prepare our students for the SAT and ACT. Outcomes are as important to us as they are to your student, so we only allow Small Group SAT/ACT Test Prep students to register for this course.

It’s completely up to you. That said, we do offer a $200 discount when you sign up for Stay Sharp at the same you register for your Small Group SAT/ACT Test Prep course.
