Test Preparation
Exceed and Excel.
At Sentia, your child’s tutorial program is tailored to produce maximum score increases in an efficient, stress-free manner.
Most students start the ACT or SAT test-prep process in 10th grade; however, every child and family is different. The vast majority of our students begin by taking a proctored diagnostic exam.
Our diagnostic exams are coded, question by question, both for difficulty and for the specific skills tested. We carefully analyze the results of this diagnostic in order to assess your child’s testing strengths and weaknesses. We then prepare a comprehensive report detailing both statistical and observational findings. In conversation with your family, a Sentia director establishes appropriate score goals and a timeline for tutoring.
Our tutors are experts in test prep and test-taking. They themselves have aced the tests with perfect, or near-perfect, scores and know how to teach others to do their very best, too.
Each student benefits from a custom-tailored tutoring program designed to meet his or her specific preparation needs. Factors that influence how a Sentia tutor designs each program include:
- Your student’s goals
- When your student begins work with Sentia
- The student’s tutoring needs, as demonstrated by his or her diagnostic exam and academic performance, both in and out of the classroom
- The student’s schedule and number of tutorial sessions per week
- The student’s expected official administration dates
Most students meet with their Sentia tutor at least once each week, either in person or by Zoom.
