followed by a full-length mock exam from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM.
Mock exams are administered under real test conditions, using both paper and digital formats to ensure accurate performance tracking and test readiness.
SAT Math Program (Optional)
To help students achieve top scores in the 790–800 range, our SAT Math program has been extended to a 6-week intensive course.
Many students lose critical points in the Math section, often due to limited exposure to advanced and recently emerging question types. This program focuses on building accuracy through sufficient practice and targeted training on more complex problems.
While the Math section is optional, it is strongly recommended for students aiming to maximize their overall SAT score.
