Take The SAT/ACT Diagnostic Today

The Diagnostic helps determine whether you’re more likely to score higher on the SAT or the ACT. The three hour test is designed for students in their sophomore or junior year of high school.

It’s essential to figure out which test you’re better on so that you will not waste valuable time prepping for the wrong exam. Too many students opt to take the test that their schools have pointed them toward. If a school offers the PSAT than its students generally take the SAT. If a school offers the PLAN than its students generally take the ACT.

If you’ve not begun prep for either exam, then we certainly recommend you take the diagnostic! The diagnostic tells you more than just which test to study for; it also tells you what areas you’re weakest in on the exam that you wind up choosing. The nine-page report details each question you got correct and incorrect, and the subject of each problem. It’s a great tool not only for deciding which test, but planning a strategy to prep for it!

The Benefits include:

• saving students time and energy, and sparing parents time and money because kids no longer are tempted to take (and prep for!) both exams!
• stopping students from underperforming on one test because they believe the other test will be a ‘fallback’ if they don’t do well.
• stopping students from underperforming on one test because they’ve prepped for the other test in the past and misapply strategies from one test to the other test.
• preventing students who are only taking one exam from taking the wrong exam just because their school pointed them in the wrong direction!
• helping students to take the right exam, but create a study plan so they can perform well on the test they choose. The SAT or ACT, whichever the student decides to take, is the single-most important test that a student will take while they are in high school. Performing well may help them get into their “reach” schools, performing poorly may keep them out of schools where they should be able to attend. Our Diagnostic helps students to increase their chances of getting into the colleges of their choice- and may even create opportunities for meritorious money.

Composition of the 3-Hour Diagnostic

The SAT/ACT diagnostic consists of seven sections- the three sections on the SAT, plus the four sections on the ACT, excluding the essay. Each section is between 20 and 27 minutes long, and contains the number of questions and sections needed to simulate the pace required on each exam. The student will be tasked with completing 200 exercises in all.
