SAT Prep: The Hard Problems
Level Up, and Max Your Score
Do you already know what's covered on the SAT? Been to a prep course, taken practice tests, scoring above a 1200, and doing well in school?
You need a course that takes you to the next level.
The College Board ranks questions on the SAT by difficulty (Easy, Medium and Hard). If you’re scoring at least a 600 in Math and/or Reading, you are ready to practice exclusively with the Hard-level problems.
If you've also mastered math through Algebra II, and your reading skills are past the high school level, then you should be studying with these most difficult problems the SAT has to offer.
Every SAT skill is covered with Hard-level problems for group and individual practice. You will improve both your accuracy and speed.
Courses are offered during the summer at our in-person locations and during the school year on weekday evenings at Chantilly, Madison, McLean, and West Springfield High Schools. We use our proprietary SAT Strategy Guide to help you identify goals and create a study plan.
Enroll now to reach the next level as you get ready for Test Day.
