ACT Test Prep Testimonial

“My ACT scores were on the lower-ish end, scoring about 25’s across the board. After working with Yi and a couple of other people in the MEG program, I ended up with a 31 on the ACT…”

Our 4-Part Approach

Assessment

A My Education Guru coach will sit down with your student and proctor a diagnostic test. The coach will then review the assessment with the student and help them set mini-attainable goals.

Strategies

Some of our strategies include the 100% correct rule, passage mapping, and the 3 W’s (where, what and why). These strategies are customized specifically to a student’s learning style. For example, if a student is a visual learner, we will have a student cross out the parts of an answer that are wrong instead of just crossing out the letter.

Troubleshooting

My Education Guru coaches will analyze a student’s specific approach to a question type and help them implement problem solving techniques to prevent the same errors from happening again.

Confidence

By reaching each of the goals we set with our students, they will realize just how amazing they can be!

What us different is that we take the time to truly understand and listen to our students, so we can make something as dry as test preparation fun, interactive and personal.

Student Assessments

Before working with your student, we take the time to understand their distinct learning style, preferences, and goals. We offer a range of complimentary to paid comprehensive assessments depending on student need.

Complimentary Assessment

Our complimentary assessments help establish a basic understanding of your student’s needs and how our Gurus can help. Each assessment includes a SAT test prep with a brief breakdown by section, identification or errors, and a general performance assessment.

Paid Comprehensive Assessment

Assessments vary in intensity depending on the test and student needs. Detailed assessments better assist our coaches to establish a foundation and clear plan to ensure your student has the tools and support for success. Comprehensive assessments offer insights that lead to very real and substantial improvement in your student’s performance.

Each assessment considers any accommodations and learning differences your student might have and includes a summary of test sections and expectations, a highly detailed assessment by section (timing, errors, and error category), and a complete individualized plan of action by section as well as general recommendations for success.

Each year over 60,000 students take the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam), SSAT (Secondary School Admissions Test), or HSPT (High School Placement Test) in preparation for acceptance to top private schools. In this increasingly competitive environment, scoring an average score of 650 on the SSAT, 850 on the ISEE, or 500 on the HSPT is no longer enough.
