The Right Plan
How Ivy Bound SAT prep works
We keep SAT prep simple: understand where your learner is now, set clear goals, then use live instruction and smart practice to get there.
-
1
Start with real data. We review a digital SAT diagnostic or official score report to spot strengths, gaps, and timing issues.
-
2
Set clear targets. Together we choose realistic score goals, test dates, and a weekly study rhythm that fits your learner’s schedule.
-
3
Teach the way tests work. In live sessions, instructors model how to read questions, eliminate traps, and think like a top-scoring tester.
-
4
Practice, review, adjust. With 50+ practice tests, targeted homework, and extra help, we refine strategies until your learner is truly test-day ready.
More admits, more scholarship dollars
Test-optional policies haven’t removed the advantage of a strong SAT score. Higher scores still boost admission chances and unlock larger merit-aid offers, especially at competitive and merit-driven schools.
Human support, not just videos
Learners work live with 99th-percentile tutors who break down hard questions, model test-day thinking, and keep learners accountable between sessions.
