SAT TEST.
College Board has changed the format of the 2023 PSAT. The test is now called the Digitized PSAT; current sophomores/rising juniors will take the test online rather than via paper and pencil. From 2024 onwards, the SAT test will also follow this new digitized format.
Starting with the Fall 2023 exams, the paper version of the PSAT will no longer be offered and all PSATs will be administered in a digital format. If you're a junior in high school in Fall 2023, taking the PSAT in the new digital format will help you prep for the SAT.
We have been working hard to get ready to teach the new format to students who join our PSAT/SAT Test-Prep 2023 Summer Program.
The students, currently sophomores in 2023, should prepare for their PSAT and SAT in Digital Format to address both the PSAT and SAT requirements.

OUR SAT TEST PREP TUTORIALS:
Students enroll in our SAT TEST PREP course in January of their junior year. Classes begin the last weekend of January and continue for the next 12/13 weeks, meeting once a week, usually over the weekend for three hours – 1 ½ hour math and 1 ½ hour verbal. The SAT class size is limited and students are organized into classes according to their skill-level determined by the PSAT test scores/school GPA. Our January SAT classes prepare students to take the SAT Tests both in March and May of the junior year.
New students who do not enroll during our January session can take advantage of our SAT summer classes. Sessions begin mid-July, meet once a week, over the weekend, for three hours and prepare students to take their SAT test in October of the senior year.
In order to prepare students for the verbal portion of the SAT test, students are taught specific strategies of how to handle each section of the test. In order to prepare students for the “reading” portion of the test, students are provided explicit details of how to read, highlight, comprehend and answer the questions. This is important since students need to make careful use of evidence as they read; some passages will ask students to also analyze data represented graphically in tables, graphs and charts. Since students are also tested in vocabulary-in-context, students learn vocabulary through proven methods other than the mere memorization of words. Students are also provided a thorough overview of grammar/sentence structure and writing skills to prepare them for the “writing” portion of the test. Finally, students learn important skills of how to write the optional essay.

"The Chaudary's are excellent with children and have a great way of working with them." "Latif" said Blake, "is really top notch in math.
"Attiya is superb at knowing a young person's talents, abilities and weaknesses.
Some youngsters are not good testers. She teaches children not only how to take a test but how to use time efficiently, how to study and in general get ready for life"
"Dear Attiya and Latif,
I am writing this letter to convey my heartfelt appreciation for all the help and guidance both of you have given me throughout my college admissions process. From PSATS, to SATS, to college essays, I truly believe I would not have been able to achieve the success I have without both of you. After getting a relatively low score on the PSATS I was very scared about my abilities to do well on the SAT, but with the help of of your classes, I was ultimately able to receive a score of 750+ on every section of the SAT and a perfect score of 800 on the critical reading section - the section I most struggled with in the beginning...near me."
