TEST PREP
Standardized tests can be difficult, sometimes
frightening, for students of all ages. At A Plus Tutoring, we give students the tools and confidence to do their very best.
In many cases, just knowing what to expect from a particular test relieves anxiety and improves results.
Working one-on-one, A Plus tutors teach proven test-taking tips, strategies and organizational skills that increase scores.
Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)
Used extensively by college admissions officers, the SAT predicts how students will perform academically as college freshmen.
The SAT has three math sections (Arithmetic,
Algebra and Geometry) and three verbal sections.

Graduate Record Exam (GRE)
The Graduate Record Exam is a standardized test that is required for admission to many graduate schools in the United States, other English-speaking countries, and for English-taught graduate and business programs around the world.
Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT)
The PSAT is designed to help students practice for the SAT and is used to determine eligibility for the National Merit scholarship and other potential scholarships. According to the College Board, students in the Class of 2011 who took the PSAT scored 145 points higher on the SAT than those who did not take the PSAT.
American College Testing (ACT)
