Five Steps to Success
From choosing the correct test and determining a test-taking timeline to studying for the exam, tutors and Senior Mentors work in collaboration to support students throughout the entire process. Our tutors and mentors follow these five steps to ensure students’ success in reaching their goal scores.
1
OPTIMIZED TESTING TIMELINE
Tutors and Mentors work with their students to determine the optimal time during sophomore or junior year to begin studying for standardized tests.
2
DIAGNOSTICS AND TUTOR MATCHING
Students take both ACT and SAT diagnostic tests. Students are matched with a tutor based on the students’ strengths and weaknesses.
3
TESTING PLAN CREATION
The tutor, Senior Mentor, and student work collaboratively to select the ACT or SAT and determine a target score. Students benefit from a studying and test-taking schedule tailored to their needs.
Tutors teach content and strategy lessons based on each test section as needed, targeting instruction to improve students’ weaknesses and sharpen their strengths.
4
PRACTICE TEST AND REVIEW
Our carefully curated practice tests are designed for students to develop best practices around test-taking to improve their stamina, pacing, and strategy.
5
STUDENTS SIT FOR THE EXAM
Typically, students take the exam two to three times to reach their target score.
Private Tutoring
In addition to ACT and SAT standardized test prep, Command Education offers PSAT and high school admissions test preparation, as well as private academic tutoring.

PSAT Preparation
When can students begin preparing for the PSAT?
Students can begin preparing for the preliminary SAT (PSAT) as early as 7th grade. Just as with the SAT and ACT, the earlier students begin preparing for the PSAT, the better they score.
When do students take the PSAT?
Most students take the PSAT junior year of high school, but many also take it freshman and sophomore year.
Why should students take the PSAT?
Scoring well on the PSAT comes with a chance at qualifying as a National Merit Scholar, which opens doors to scholarships and prestigious summer programs.
High School Admissions Tests Preparation
Independent high schools, such as Horace Mann, Phillips Exeter Academy, and The Brearley School are springboards for an Ivy League education. Likewise, public high schools like Stuyvesant send dozens of students to top universities each year. As such, these high schools have extremely competitive entrance requirements, including standardized tests. We offer tutoring for students preparing for secondary school entrance exams such as the SHSAT, ISEE, and SSAT. We recommend that students begin preparing for these exams in 6th-7th grade.
Private Academic Tutoring
Ivy League and top-tier universities expect students to enroll in the most rigorous courses offered at their high school. While a student may be capable of taking several AP or IB classes, when they add in clubs, sports, music lessons, and volunteering to the mix, their grades often begin to suffer. That is where we come in.
Our tutoring team offers private academic tutoring for students in a variety of subjects and foreign languages. With flexible scheduling and virtual tutoring, our devoted team of tutors is able to help students from around the world succeed in the classroom without sacrificing extracurriculars.
