Test Prep

Standardized tests remain an important component of the college application process.

This program is for students who plan to take a standardized entrance exam for private middle or high school such as the ISEE or SSAT as well as college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT. It is also for student who will take AP exams.

Some of our students simply need help with test taking strategies, while others need expert guidance with one or both subject areas; we are able to accommodate the needs of each individual student.

All of LexEd's programs are made to work together. Many of our students enroll in one or more of our standardized test prep programs at some point throughout their time with us. 

We highly recommend test prep sessions as familiarity with a particular standardized test significantly reduces test anxiety. 

We offer 1-1 instruction as well as small group instruction for students who prefer to work with a friend or classmate. 

All lessons are taught by a LexEd subject matter expert.

Individualized test prep helps students gain a competitive edge. Our personalized, expert-driven instruction builds core academic skills, boosts test-taking confidence, and lays the foundation for success in both admissions and future learning. Our program helps students:
