Strategic SAT & ACT Prep for Woodside Students
In a close-knit community where families value doing things thoughtfully, our strategy-first approach helps Woodside students earn test scores that reflect their true ability, not just how many practice tests they have taken.
Test Prep Services for Woodside Students
For families who expect more than generic practice tests. Every session is built around your student's diagnostic data, targeting the specific areas where points are waiting.
SAT Preparation Where Most Families Start
Full diagnostic, strategy-first approach. We pinpoint the question types and content areas with the highest point potential, then build fluency where it matters most. Woodside students often attend schools across several districts, and we calibrate prep to each student's specific academic background and target score range.
ACT Preparation
For students whose strengths align with the ACT format. We cover all four sections with focused attention on science reasoning and the strict pacing that distinguishes the ACT from the SAT. Many Woodside students discover the ACT is a better fit after running diagnostics on both tests.
PSAT & NMSQT
National Merit qualification strategy for juniors. Early PSAT preparation positions students for both scholarships and SAT readiness, giving Woodside families a clearer picture of where their student stands before the main test cycle begins.
Test Strategy & Timing
When to take each test, how many attempts, which sections to prioritize. Strategic planning that accounts for your student's course load, extracurriculars, and target school list so nothing gets left to guesswork.
Score Plateaus
For students stuck in a score range who need to break through to the next level. Advanced strategy, error pattern analysis, and targeted drilling on the question types that separate strong scores from elite ones.
Subject-Specific Prep
Deep dives into SAT Math, Reading, or Writing sections individually. Ideal when a student's composite score is held back by one section that needs concentrated effort.
You were very good at breaking down my problems step by step and making sure I got the hang of it. If it was not for you, I would have been stuck in summer school.
