Standardized Test Prep

The Literate Academy has study programs for a wide range of standardized assessment tests including state grade-level assessments, high school equivalency exams, college and graduate school entrance examinations, and specialty tests. Our one-on-one study programs have helped students significantly increase their scores.

The Literate Academy tutors will teach time management skills, test-taking tips and strategies. The Literate Academy will provide practice testing, diagnose and focus on areas of strength and weakness, and furnish reasons for incorrect responses. Students will learn methods to overcome test-taking anxiety and “freezing” on tests.

The Literate Academy has excellent, proven study programs covering the following entrance examinations:

SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test). The SAT predicts how students will perform academically as college freshmen, and as a single, standardized means of comparison, helps college admissions officers make acceptance decisions. The SAT has seven sections – three math sections covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and a miscellaneous category that includes probability, data interpretation, counting, and logical analysis; three verbal sections covering analogies, sentence completions, and critical reading; plus a “wild card” section of either math or verbal that doesn’t count.

SAT II. The SAT II are subject tests, one-hour, mostly multiple-choice, that measure how much students know about a particular academic subject and how well they can apply that knowledge. Many colleges require or recommend one or more of the Subject Tests for admission or placement. They provide a dependable measure of academic achievement and are a predictor of future performance. There are 22 subject tests offered including: Writing, Literature, History, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and various language proficiency tests.

SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test). The SSAT is the required admissions test for hundreds of independent schools. It offers two tests, a lower-level test, grades 5 through 7, and an upper-level test, grades 8 through 11. It predicts how well students will perform in school, and is used as an admissions and placement tool. The SSAT measures verbal, math and reading comprehension.

The Literate Academy also provides individualized study programs for specialized testing including:

GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). The GMAT is a multiple-choice test for applicants to business schools. The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test (CAT) meaning each section starts with a medium-level question and an average score. If answered correctly, the computer will raise the score and then give a more difficult question. If answered incorrectly, the score will decrease and an easier question will be given. The process repeats for each question in the section, to arrive at a final score for that section.

GRE (Graduate Record Examinations) a multiple-choice admission test for applicants to graduate schools.

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is a multiple-choice, computer-based test for non-native English speakers.

“Your tutors were superb! Brad improved 30 points in his math score, (400-430), but the huge improvement for him came in the critical reading section. He jumped from 450-570! Added together, he moved from 850, (roughly 24th percentile), to 1000, (right at the 50th percentile). According to the College Board website, students improve 20 points on average when they retake the SAT. Brad did 7 times better than that, and it is due to the good work of your tutors.” – Omer Iqbal Bhati
