Students start with an online proctored quiz to evaluate their existing Math and Verbal skills and complete the course with a practice ACT and SAT. Students leave the course with a far more informed understanding of how to choose between the two tests. Throughout the course, they build math, reading, and writing content knowledge that serves as a foundation for formal test prep.
