When a student comes to The Study Shack for test preparation, he or she is given an initial 1.5-hour assessment for whichever test they are preparing for. Based on the results of that assessment, and previous testing scores, and experiences, we determine the appropriate timeline for tutoring, and discuss the areas specific to the test that will need the most focus during the next few months of test preparation.
While the course of preparation varies for each student, below are our general recommended timelines for exam preparation:
▻ Common Core Grades 3-8: Test prep begins 4 months prior to test date
▻ SHSAT: Test prep begins 3 months prior to test date
▻ ERB/ISEE/SSAT: Test prep begins 3-6 months prior to test date
▻ NYS Regents: Test prep begins 3 months prior to test date
▻ AP Tests: Test prep begins 3 months prior to test date
▻ SAT/SAT II: Test prep begins 4-6 months prior to test date
▻ ACT: Test prep begins 4-6 months prior to test date
The Study Shack also provides last-minute tutoring sessions for mastering test-taking skills and for reviewing concepts for those with a shorter timeline leading up to the test.
