About Our Curriculum

Versatility

We recognize the overlapping areas of academic mastery required to prepare students for standardized tests (like the SAT) and for overall college readiness. We capitalize on these two goals by focusing our curriculum on the skills that will not only prepare students for the SAT but also benefit students' overall learning.

Scaffolding

Our programs are crafted to bridge the gap between students’ current knowledge and advanced academic challenges, all with the goal of scaffolding towards college readiness. With every lesson, students deepen their foundation, building upon what they already know. Every stage in their learning is a structured elevation, cementing previous understanding while ushering in new insight.

Rigor

Research shows that many students are not provided rigorous grade-level work in their classrooms, leading to gaps in students’ ability to succeed in post-secondary education. Our rigorous curriculum and focus on essential skills prepare students not only for the SAT but also for college-level courses.

Precision

Leveraging a data-driven approach to instruction, we pinpoint the most crucial skills for each student’s success on the SAT. Our customized course syllabi reflect the specific Reading, Writing, and Math knowledge for which students will be responsible.

An Overview of the Digital SAT Exam

The digital SAT, a standardized test widely utilized for college admissions in the United States, serves as a critical benchmark for assessing a student’s college readiness. The digital SAT is an adaptive exam that is comprised of two sections: Reading and Writing and Mathematics.

The content of the second module of each section will be determined by how the student performs on the first module, and will either be, on average, easier than the first module, or more difficult. 

  • Reading and Writing Module 1 (32 minutes, 27 questions)
  • Reading and Writing Module 2 (32 minutes, 27 questions)
  • Break (10 minutes)
  • Math Module 1 (35 minutes, 22 questions)
  • Math Module 2 (35 minutes, 22 questions)

The Reading and Writing section is divided into two modules (each 32 minutes with 27 multiple-choice questions) and evaluates a student’s mastery of grammar and critical reading skills. In this newly-combined section, students will read 54 short passages, covering topics such as science, history, poetry, and drama and answer 54 discrete multiple-choice questions. The Reading and Writing section covers a range of crucial reading and English skills, such as evaluating word choice, discerning main ideas, and determining conventions of standard English. 

The Math section is divided into two modules (each 35 minutes with 22 questions) and covers arithmetic, algebra, and geometry, as well as trigonometry and complex algebra. With questions varying from multiple-choice to student-produced responses, the Math section tests students on both their conceptual understanding and computational accuracy.
