TEST PREPARATION  

VHES offers one-to-one test preparation for the ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, and AP Exams. Our test-prep program includes a detailed diagnostic report, test-prep materials, test-taking strategies, full-length practice tests, and one to two hours of homework per week. Lesson plans are customized to ensure that sessions are focused on the most appropriate material and students improve their baseline scores. We will recommend one of our four test-prep packages based on target scores, subject areas that need attention, and the next scheduled exam date.

MOCK TESTING   

VHES offers both virtual group and individual mock testing to help students assess their content knowledge and improve their test-taking skills. Parents will receive a diagnostic score report from our testing software. View sample reports: ACT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT.  

Virtual Group Testing: 

VHES offers ACT and SAT mock tests in a virtually proctored group setting to accustom students to the format, structure, and timing of the official exam. For the ACT and SAT, we will review the scores to see which test the student is scoring higher on. Since all colleges and universities accept both tests, it's beneficial to know if your child is scoring higher on the ACT or SAT. We'll use our score concordance chart to make a test recommendation.

Individual Testing: 

We also offer privately proctored one-to-one in office and virtual testing. This option is a perfect fit for students who need additional time due to test anxiety or attentional issues. A test proctor will either meet the student at our office to take the test in-person or online to take the test virtually. An individual test scores comparison chart is provided for students who are taking both the ACT and SAT.
