Most people start by taking a Foley Prep diagnostic SAT® or ACT® (or both) followed by a free consultation with a program manager to help you make a plan. The PSAT will use the same content as our SAT® program, ensuring you are fully prepared for both exams.
Results will be emailed immediately. After the score report has been analyzed by a Foley Prep Pro, we will arrange a consultation to determine which test is best for your student, get a baseline score, and design a tutoring plan to make the prep as efficient as possible.
If you have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to contact us. We can help with an assortment of questions including choosing between the SAT®, and the ACT®.
Wondering whether to prioritize SAT/ACT prep? According to a brand-new study from economists at Dartmouth and Brown, standardized test scores are four times more predictive of first-year success at Ivy-Plus colleges than high school GPA. Grade inflation has made near-perfect GPAs increasingly common, so universities rely on test scores to spot truly prepared students.
Even better news: the research found no bias against less advantaged students—if you earn a strong SAT/ACT, you're signaling the same readiness as any other high scorer.

The Digital SAT® largely maintains the content and structure of the paper SAT® but is presented in a computerized format. Students will answer questions on a computer or tablet, trading in their pencil and paper for a keyboard and screen. The Digital SAT® covers the same areas as the paper-based test: reading, writing and language, and math.
According to a comprehensive study Foley Prep's 1-on-1 and small group students gain an average of 220 points on the SAT® and 7 points on the ACT® after completing 10 hours of tutoring and 3+ practice tests.
This is not a cookie-cutter, volume-oriented program. More than 15,000 students have increased their SAT® and ACT® scores at Foley Prep.
Foley Prep Pros use both deductive (instruction followed by examples) and inductive (examples first, instruction after) methods in their lessons. They combine those with humor and relatable content to retain students' interest, and have created an effective, proven method.
When deciding which type of tutoring is best for your child, consider his or her schedule, starting score, and goal score. Many families will start prep a year in advance. We recommend no fewer than 3 months of prep before your first test.
