SAT Prep · Wayne & Malvern
SAT prep that parents can see working.
Group classes, one-on-one tutoring, and proctored practice tests — current for the 2026–27 digital SAT, taught by instructors who scored at the top of the range themselves.
How our SAT prep works
The method behind every option.
Diagnose
A full-length proctored practice exam sets the real baseline — no guessing from a school PSAT.
Instruct
Group classes teach strategies and content; one-on-one sessions target your student’s specific gaps.
Test again
Proctored practice exams every two weeks under real conditions, on the digital adaptive format.
See results
After every exam, section scores and trends post to your parent portal.

Practice exams are official College Board digital tests (Bluebook), proctored under real conditions — and students can take additional proctored exams beyond the four at no charge. Four is the minimum we want, not the maximum we allow.

PSAT & National Merit
The PSAT: tune-up for most, target for some.
For most students, the PSAT provides a useful tune-up prior to taking the SAT. It gives a representative idea of how the student might score on the SAT without further preparation — and for students who do want to improve, it shows which areas need the most work.
The National Merit Scholarship Program. For students expecting to score near the top of the range (top 10%), targeted PSAT preparation can help qualify for the National Merit Scholarship competition. Crimson Review provides practice PSAT tests and 1-1 tutoring for students chasing it — requirements are at nationalmerit.org. Contact us for more on PSAT preparation and the scholarship program.
