SAT & ACT PREPARATION
We have been helping students navigate through the SAT and ACT process since 2004. Through our personalized guidance and in-depth knowledge of each test, students from schools throughout Westchester County, nearby Connecticut, Putnam Counties and around the country have gained confidence and improved their test scores at College Planning of Westchester.
After the pandemic, test optional policies became nearly universal in college admissions. This resulted in an increase in the average submitted test scores as the majority of the scores sent in came from students with near perfect results. It is more important than ever to work with test prep professionals who thoroughly understand the intricacies of these tests. While we always try to pinpoint the appropriate test for each student, we can also prepare them to take both tests if they so choose.
SAT
The SAT test more closely resembles the ACT with more classroom-based questions in line with the common core. Although there is not a unique science section, there are now science elements throughout the test. The optional essay was just dropped. Our track record shows average increases on the SAT of between 120 and 250 points.
ACT
One of the ongoing challenges faced by ACT test takers is the ability to complete each section in the allotted time. The ACT has an optional essay format that is 40 minutes long. Our track record shows average increases of 3-4 points on the ACT.
