Choose one of our three SAT Test Prep packages depending on how much prep time you need and where you are in the process.
“I had never taken the SAT before and took a free practice SAT with iAchieve Learning at the library. On my practice test I got a 1220 which I was pretty excited about. I worked with a tutor for about 5 weeks and just took the real SAT for the first time and earned a 1470! My tutor was very helpful and explained strategies that I didn’t know.” – student from Park Ridge

Our Approach to SAT Test Prep
1. Take a Free Practice SAT Test
We highly recommend that any students just starting the test prep process first take a free practice SAT test to determine their baseline score. In the past, iAchieve Learning was offering the free practice tests at the Des Plaines Library. Since Covid hit, we are now mailing home to families a free practice ACT and/or SAT which also includes proctoring instructions and a stamped envelope to send it back to us. Once we receive it, we grade the practice tests with our extensive Online Test Prep Portal and then email students and parents the results within 1-2 days and offer a free phone consultation to go through the results.
