SAT Prep: The Hard Problems
Level Up, and Max Your Score
Do you already know what's covered on the SAT? Been to a prep course, taken practice tests, scoring above a 1200, and doing well in school?
You need a course that takes you to the next level.
The College Board ranks questions on the SAT by difficulty (Easy, Medium and Hard). If you’re scoring at least a 600 in Math and/or Reading, you are ready to practice exclusively with the Hard-level problems.
If you've also mastered math through Algebra II, and your reading skills are past the high school level, then you should be studying with these most difficult problems the SAT has to offer.
Every SAT skill is covered with Hard-level problems for group and individual practice. You will improve both your accuracy and speed.
Courses are offered during the summer at our in-person locations and during the school year on weekday evenings at Chantilly, Madison, McLean, and West Springfield High Schools. We use our proprietary SAT Strategy Guide to help you identify goals and create a study plan.
Enroll now to reach the next level as you get ready for Test Day.

Course Content
Class time is evenly divided between the Reading and Writing and the Math sections of the SAT.
Students practice Hard problems in each topic on the SAT throughout the eight class sessions.
Students take two practice tests to gauge their progress, and they complete practice problems to master the different question types on the SAT.
We’ll help students identify their specific review goals and design an individual study plan. This study plan integrates our live content review, our interactive problem discussions, The Official SAT Study Guide, SAT practice problems, SAT practice tests, and key online resources.
