Test Preparation Programs
Only a Test LLC offers structured preparation for the ACT and SAT built around strategy, content mastery, and disciplined practice. Programs are tailored to the student’s current score range, academic background, and testing goals, with clear expectations for improvement and a realistic plan to get there.
PSAT preparation is offered selectively for students with a realistic path toward National Merit recognition, as well as for families seeking limited preparation focused on test familiarity rather than competition.
One-on one and small-group instruction designed for measurable score improvement.
• Instruction is provided one-on-one or in small groups (2–3 students with similar strengths and weaknesses).
• Programs are organized in 6-, 12-, and 18-hour formats, with an additional Elite Guarantee option for students seeking maximum improvement.
• An initial diagnostic is based on a recent official test or a practice test completed at home.
• Program scope and any modifications (including ACT Science or Writing) are discussed during consultation or enrollment.
