Why Test Prep with Ivy Tutors

Mock Testing = Improved Scores
Weekly mock testing is included in the price of our hourly on-on-one tutoring services. Why? Because studies show that students who prepare with practice tests are more likely to remember what they learned - even when they’re stressed during the actual test. This makes it not only a great way to solidify what was studied, but an excellent way to combat test anxiety. Bottom line: mock testing leads to better scores.
Mock Testing = Improved Scores
Decide Between SAT and ACT
In a competitive college admissions landscape, putting your best foot forward is to your advantage. Determine which is better for you, the SAT or ACT. Our 3.5-hour SAT vs. ACT Diagnostic test tells you which test you are naturally better at and diagnoses your strengths & weaknesses. You’ll receive an 8-page test analysis report, which Ivy Tutors will use to create a personalized, highly efficient, and data-driven plan for your test prep success story.
Decide Between SAT and ACT
Ace Middle School & High School Entrance Exams
Different schools have different strengths. The key to scoring well on entrance exams like the SSAT, ISEE, SHSAT, and TACHS is evaluating what you (or your son or daughter) already know and identifying any knowledge gaps that could lead to poor performance. A diagnostic test provides this information, and then one of our experienced tutors steps in to help you improve your scores in weak areas.

Earn High AP Scores
When it comes to earning the scores you want on AP tests, don’t guess at what you know well: know for sure. A diagnostic test is a quick way to evaluate your readiness for a particular subject’s exam so that you can study smarter, not just harder, and feel confident when you sit the real test.
Earn High AP Scores
Improve SAT and ACT Scores
Our data-driven - yet personalized - approach means the best quality diagnostic and mock testing tools with a detailed analysis of every test taken. Every year, we have students who achieve a perfect 1600 SAT or 36 ACT, while others break a 1400 or a 32, scores they previously thought were impossible. Many of our students go up by as many as 300 points on the SAT or 5 points on the ACT from prior tests.

Lynda M.
My daughter set out to close a 150-point gap for her SAT in less than 6 weeks. Mark was very poised and professional in his approach. Given my daughter's individual strengths and weaknesses, he curated a lesson plan that had the necessary vigor, interest and milestones to achieve the goal.

Should I take a mock test in person or online?

In Person in NYC

We run diagnostic and mock testing weekly at our 1460 Broadway location in New York City. In person mock tests are ideal for students who are planning to take paper tests. AP tests, ACT tests, SHSAT, TACHS, HSPT, and Hunter College High School tests are examples of exams that you should practice in person because they are given in person.

Remote Tests

Our proprietary app lets students practice taking mock tests from the comfort of their homes. SAT, ISEE, SSAT, and some ACT tests are given on a computer so we recommend practicing online as well. For paper tests, we often recommend extra practice online since this is convenient for our students and allows them to get real-time results.
