FAQ
About LogicPrep, and the College Preparation Process:
- Who are our tutors and what are their qualifications?
Our tutors are all masters of their disciplines. They have college degrees from prestigious universities, such as Harvard, Duke, and NYU. Each curriculum that our tutors use is comprehensive and well-researched, and tutors undergo extensive training and shadowing experience before taking on students of their own.. - Who should take SAT Subject Tests?
Generally, only students seeking admission to schools that recommend or require Subject Tests should take them. It’s important to look into each college’s admissions requirements before deciding whether to tackle the SAT Subject Tests. These tests are meant to demonstrate an applicant’s strength in specific subject areas. If a school doesn’t require them, then only students that expect to perform well (600-800 score range) should take them. - What is score choice?
Score choice allows students to take the exam multiple times and only show their scores from the dates that they wish to share with the colleges. This alleviates the fear of having a bad test day. The ACT has always followed this policy. For students graduating from high school in 2010 or later, score choice is available for the SAT as well for most schools. - When is the best time to take the SAT or ACT?
Students most commonly take the SAT and/or ACT during the spring of their junior year. Stronger students may choose to take these tests slightly earlier than many of their peers (in the late fall and winter of their junior year). This frees up the spring to focus on AP exams and SAT Subject Tests. However, strong students may choose to take some SAT Subject Tests during their freshman and sophomore years. Although a number of students will take their final standardized tests in the beginning of their senior year, we recommend that they leave this time open to focus on college applications.
Regardless of whether you end up sending all of your scores to colleges, you will be more comfortable with the tests if you take them several times.
