Zoom SAT Preparation Program

Testtakers is making its well-established SAT preparation program available to students around the world. The programs will be delivered via the Zoom platform to small groups by highly experienced teachers led by Mr. Jeremy Craig. The programs meet primarily on Sundays leading to all of the international SAT test dates. Please find the full schedules below. The programs will prepare students for the new-format digital SAT (dSAT) that will be administered internationally from March 2023 - more on the new test format here.

The program will meet Sundays from 6pm to 9pm Singapore/Hong Kong/China/Malaysia time, 7pm to 10pm Japan/Korea time, 5pm to 8pm Thailand/Indonesia time, and 11am to 2pm Central European Time.

Lead instructor and program director Jeremy Craig has been teaching test preparation since he was an undergraduate at Columbia University where he studied Chinese history and international political economy. He established Testtakers Singapore in 2001 in partnership with Testtakers (USA) in New York. Since then he has taught and run over 350 full SAT preparation programs - most in partnership with international schools. Jeremy has written extensively on trends in testing and admissions as well as presented many informative webinars trying to make sense of things.

The focus of the program is on new techniques and strategies to apply the knowledge students already have to the context of the dSAT - not tedious practice and rote memorisation. The lessons are highly interactive with kids encouraged to participate in a group setting - not a top-down “do it this way” lecture. We have worked with the following schools the region: United World College of South East Asia, Tanglin Trust School, Overseas Family School, Singapore American School, International School of Manila, Bali International School, NIST (Thailand), MKIS (Malaysia), JIS (Brunei), The American School in Switzerland, among many others. Our focus is on test preparation and we do not offer any add-on university placement services, talk to your school counsellors on that as they would know you best.

Most American universities have gone “test optional” for the next few admissions cycles but there is compelling evidence that having a good score will help with admissions prospects. For students applying to the many excellent European universities, many schools are accepting the SAT in lieu of other application tests.

The comprehensive fee is US$850 which can be paid via credit card after registration. The program is open to all students graduating in 2025 or 2026 and we will group students from the same school together as much as possible. After registration and payment is complete the student will receive the full course pack via courier.

Note that we will be able to accept students through seminar 3 with make-up sessions.
