Test Prep Programs

Preparation starts with a full-length timed diagnostic under realistic conditions, scored by section and by question type. That report is the plan. Without it, preparation becomes a slow re-teach of the entire syllabus, most of which the student already knows.

From there the work splits into three parts: content the student genuinely does not know, technique for the question types they lose points on, and pacing under time pressure. Sessions alternate between teaching and timed practice, with a full mock paper roughly every three weeks so progress is measured rather than assumed.

What is included

Everything that comes with this programme

Full-length diagnostic

A complete timed paper under realistic conditions before any teaching begins, scored down to question type and topic.

A score-targeted plan

We work backwards from the target score to identify which sections carry the most available points for this particular student.

Pacing and timing drills

Structured practice on working speed, question triage and when to leave a question rather than lose four minutes to it.

Mock papers every three weeks

Regular full papers under timed conditions, each one scored and compared against the previous attempt.

Test day strategy and nerves

Preparation for the day itself: routine, materials, breaks, and what to do when the first question is one you cannot answer.

Score reports for the family

After every mock you receive the section breakdown, the trend line and a plain assessment of whether the target is realistic.

How it runs

The four stages of this programme

1
Timeline check

We work back from the test date. Twelve weeks allows a full programme, six weeks means prioritising ruthlessly, and we will tell you which one you are in.

2
Full diagnostic paper

A complete timed paper, scored by section and question type. This produces the plan rather than confirming a guess.

3
Content, technique, pacing

Weekly sessions that alternate teaching with timed practice, weighted towards the sections holding the most available points.

4
Mock cycle to test day

Full papers every three weeks, each one analysed, with a final week focused on routine, rest and test day logistics.

What changes

What families notice first

A measured starting score instead of an estimate

Points recovered from technique, not only from new content

A student who finishes the paper inside the time limit

A realistic, evidence-based view of the achievable score

Questions

Common questions about this programme

None, and you should be sceptical of anyone who names a number before seeing a diagnostic. Point gains depend on the starting score, the time available and how much practice happens between sessions. What we will do is show you the diagnostic, tell you honestly whether your target looks reachable in the time you have, and track the trend openly at every mock.

Twelve to sixteen weeks before the test date is comfortable for a full programme. Six to eight weeks is workable if the focus narrows to the highest-yield sections. Under four weeks we will normally recommend a short technique and pacing package rather than pretending content can be rebuilt.

Yes. AP subject examinations, PSAT, SSAT and ISEE entrance tests and state assessments all run on the same structure: diagnostic first, then content, technique and pacing, with timed mocks throughout.
