Recognize PatternS

Tests are a lot like crossword puzzles: the more you do them, the better you get. Standardized tests contain patterns: understanding question types, interpreting data, matching language. We coach students to recognize these patterns.

Execute Strategy

Differentiating between the Reading passages and sequencing the Science passages by format aren’t trade secrets. However, a student’s readiness to employ these strategies on test day are critical. Students must be empowered to have an intuitive sense of command over their approach to the material.

Build Familiarity

As a boutique company, we make sure to get our hands on every test booklet released and we break down each test, looking for trends in question type, language, format, placement, and passage design. Our coaches distill this information into teachable bites to prepare students to recognize what they will encounter and how to respond.
