Test Prep Strategy
10 high-impact habits for SAT & ACT success
Small, consistent actions compound into big score jumps— especially when paired with intelligent analytics and a structured program.
Start with a free diagnostic • Continue with a guided program
Turn a single diagnostic into a full SAT, ACT or GRE prep program.
Affirm Tutors doesn’t stop at telling you your level. We use the diagnostic to place you into the right Hybrid (online + in-person) program or Online-only program—so you have a clear path from “I'm not sure where to start” to “I'm confident for test day.”
Start with the diagnostic. Then enrol in the Hybrid or Online program that matches your goals.
Structured programs, not random prep
Fixed timelines, live support, and Maryam AI inside every lesson and practice set.
