SAT preparation at TestPrep USA, in short
What TestPrep USA offers for the SAT
Live online one-to-one tutoring in 90-minute lessons, a live online group course, practice tests and a question bank. Everything is taught online, so you can join from anywhere.
How much does SAT tutoring cost?
A single 90-minute one-to-one lesson is $100. Packages bring the rate down to $80 a lesson in the 50-lesson package ($4,000). The group course is $1,050, or 2 monthly payments of $575.
How do you start?
Request a free intro call: it is a conversation about your goals and timeline, not a lesson or a test. Before any lessons are booked you can sit a free SAT practice test in the current format. It gives a starting score and, more usefully, shows which question types and sections are costing you marks, so the plan is written from evidence rather than an estimate. The test is free; lessons are paid.
Request a free SAT intro callOne-to-one or a group course?
The SAT group course is taught live online in classes of at most 6 students, 72 hours in all, and every lesson is recorded. The next group starts November 14, 2026; enroll by November 11, 2026. One-to-one tutoring suits a close test date, a single weak section or a fixed schedule that a group cannot meet.

The current SAT format
The SAT is a digital test taken in College Board's Bluebook app. It has two sections, Reading and Writing (54 questions, 64 minutes) and Math (44 questions, 70 minutes), each split into two modules, with a 10-minute break between them — 2 hours 14 minutes of testing in all. Scores run from 400 to 1600.
- Length
- 2 hours 14 minutes, plus a 10-minute break
- Scoring
- Total 400–1600; each section 200–800
- How it is taken
- Digital, in the Bluebook app. The Desmos graphing calculator is built in for Math, or an approved handheld calculator can be used; no calculator in Reading and Writing.
- Adaptive?
- Adaptive by module: in each section, the second module is harder or easier depending on how the first went. Each module includes two unscored pretest questions.

How private SAT tutoring works online
You start with a free intro call about your goals, your timeline and the options. It is not a lesson and not a test. Then:
Step 1
Free diagnostic test
Before any lessons are booked
Before any lessons are booked you can sit a free SAT practice test in the current format. It gives a starting score and, more usefully, shows which question types and sections are costing you marks, so the plan is written from evidence rather than an estimate. The test is free; lessons are paid.
Step 2
Your plan
Written from the test, not a guess
The plan is set from your practice-test result, the score you are aiming for and your test date, so lessons start with the sections and question types that are costing you the most points.
Step 3
One-to-one lessons
90-minute lessons, live online
Lessons work through the plan with one tutor. TestPrep's full-length SAT practice tests, sold separately with 2 attempts at each, are one way to check progress between lessons.
