High test scores are a VERY important part of the Admission process. Most Universities will accept either the SAT(Critical Reading, Math, Essay) or the ACT(English, Math, Science Reading, Essay), but you must take at least 2 SAT II Subject Tests(Literature, World & US History, Math 1 & 2, Biology E &M, Chemistry, Physics, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, Italian and Latin).  It is imperative that we have the best possible scores; and often that can make it necessary to re-take one or more of these tests A typical test preparation course class meets 2-3 times a week and consists of 5-7 students of the same grade level. The Advanced Placement exams can ONLY be taken in conjunction with an Advanced Placement(AP) class offered at the students High School. They are usually year long classes with  exams that are traditionally offered in the late Spring(May-June) depending upon the school system.  Our preparation mirrors the SAT II Subject Test except the Subject test is multiple choice and that while a portion of the AP exam is multiple choice there are also several essays called DBQs(Data Based Questions which focuses on a question and essay assessment of several pieces of evidence. We practice both the Multiple choice questions and the DBQs to assure students confidence in not only in the process but exam.
