Our SAT/PSAT Prep Program is designed to help students achieve their best possible scores on the SAT/PSAT test. We understand that every student is unique with different strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. That's why our program is personalized and tailored to meet the individual needs of each student.
Our experienced tutors work with students one-on-one to develop a customized study plan that targets areas of improvement and builds upon existing strengths. We use a variety of resources and materials, including official SAT practice tests, to provide students with a realistic testing experience and exposure to the types of questions they will encounter on the test.
In addition to content review and practice tests, our program also emphasizes test-taking strategies and time management techniques. We provide students with guidance on how to approach different question types, how to eliminate incorrect answer choices, and how to manage their time effectively on test day.
Our program is flexible and adaptable, with scheduling options that accommodate busy students' schedules. We believe that a supportive and positive learning environment is key to success, and our tutors are dedicated to building rapport with students and fostering a sense of confidence and motivation.
By the end of our program, students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform at their highest potential on the SAT/PSAT test. Whether a student is looking to improve their score for college admissions, scholarship opportunities, or personal growth, our SAT/PSAT Prep Program is designed to help them achieve their goals.
Students can sign up for our SAT/PSAT Prep Program by clicking on the test date that you're interested in. Students must bring their own computer with the Bluebook app already downloaded.
The Standard Course is a 4-week course offered before each SAT test date and before the PSAT and is our most popular option. It is great for students who want to study for just one test date or who need to increase their score by 100 points or more. Students can take this course as many times as they want to keep increasing their score. Students sign up for a Monday/Wednesday course, Tuesday/Thursday course, or Sunday course.
The Crash Course is a 2-week course offered before each SAT test date and before the PSAT and is a popular option for students who just need to focus on one or two subjects or who don't have time to commit to a full Standard Course. This course can be taken as many times as a student wants. Students sign up for a Monday/Wednesday course, Tuesday/Thursday course, or Sunday course.
Homeschool students are encouraged to take our Homeschool SAT Prep Course that is offered during school hours. For more info, please visit our Homeschool page.
When students sign up for a course, they are put into a class of up to four students with one tutor. Each student is on an individualized plan and works with the tutor on their own work independently of other students. We also offer one-on-one tutoring for the SAT and the PSAT, and you can find that info on our tutoring page.
Square Root of Success has been helping students increase their SAT scores for over ten years. We are a local, family-owned business that loves to see students thrive. We have helped students increase scores by several hundred points and receive full-tuition scholarships. We have worked with some students for years helping them continue to increase, and we have worked with some students for just one course helping them get the score that they wanted in one session. Whatever your goals are, we would love to work with your family.

Students need to sign up on the CollegeBoard.org website. They will create an account and register for a test date. The SAT tests can be taken at high schools and colleges, and students get to choose where they take the test.
It does not matter which test students take. It is recommended that students take both tests at least once to see if they do any better on one versus the other. The SAT is now fully digital and redesigned, and some students are doing better on this new 2024 SAT test.
It does not matter where they choose to take the test. There is no difference in the tests at different test centers. Students should sign up early in order to get a seat at the location that they want.
Students should not rely on a clock being in the room. Sometimes, there will not be a clock for students to use. Students should always bring their own watch to keep up with their time. Digital watches are easier for students to read. Watches cannot beep, so alarms and beeping on the hour need to be turned off. Google can help with turning the sound off.
SAT proctors make mistakes surprisingly often. Students should absolutely let the proctor know if the proctor handles the timing incorrectly. Proctors can cut short the time on a test or not give a 5 minute warning, and that can be disastrous for scores. Proctors also incorrectly tell students that they can't use their calculator or their watch when, according to the rules, they absolutely can. It can be useful to bring a print-out of the calculator or watch rules to show to the proctor. Proctors can also just create a bad environment for testers by being loud, playing loudly on their phone, crying, going in and out of the room, or doing something else distracting.
There are so many things that can go wrong on test day that it is best to take the SAT multiple times. Students will also feel like certain tests are easier and certain tests are harder. If a student takes three tests in a row, then at least one of them should be an easier test for them and will help to maximize their scores.
It is recommended that students take their first test in December or May of their 9th grade year. This will give families a baseline score to see where they stand.
