01. Why should I take a Practice Test?
We recommend that everyone begins their process with a Practice Test. Just like it’s difficult to follow a map to a destination without knowing where you are to begin with, so too is it with prep. We want to help each student establish a good baseline from which to begin their unique journey to the testing goals.

02. What is a ScoresBack Appointment?
A Scoresback Appointment is a time for you to sit down and discuss your scores with an experienced member of our staff. If you have taken practice tests in our office, we will have those tests graded for you and will talk through them. If you have taken an official test, you can bring that score with you and we will go over it instead. They are a great opportunity to ask any questions you have about the tests and test preparation. Scoresback Appointments usually take 30-60 minutes. After you have taken a Pretest with us, we will contact you to set-up the next step.
03. How do I sign-up for the Official ACT?
It is your responsibility to register for the official ACT. Although we would love to do it for you, the process involves us knowing some pretty confidential information (i.e. your SSN). If you do not take the test you’re doing all this prep for it is very likely that your score will be impacted negatively. To register for the official ACT on the ACT website, click here.
04. How do I sign-up for the Official SAT?
It is your responsibility to register for the official SAT. Although we would love to do it for you, the process involves us knowing some pretty confidential information (i.e. your SSN). If you do not take the test you’re doing all this prep for it is very likely that your score will be impacted negatively. To register for the official SAT on the College Board website, click here.

8. Duke TIP Information
What is Duke TIP? The Duke University Talent Identification Program is a nonprofit organization that supports academically talented students in grades four through twelve.
Certain scores allow for students to participate in summer study programs at elite universities such as Duke University. While this test is not used for college admissions in any way, for some students these programs are a great opportunity to challenge themselves academically. And while these tests will not impact college admissions, for those students who value the summer study programs, preparation can be provided.
The best place to begin the process is with one of our FREE Practice tests here.
