• SAT Prep: The Princeton Review

  Update: April 7, 2026

  Please ask your scholar to check their student email accounts and complete the enrollment process to gain access to the SAT practice tests and preparation materials. As assigned by their instructor, your scholar should complete the practice SAT exam over the break to stay on track and fully benefit from the course. This portal is an incredibly valuable resource that will support them not only for the upcoming test, but also for continued practice afterward. I strongly encourage enrollment, as it provides access to high-quality materials that typically cost hundreds of dollars—at no additional expense to you.
