Why SAT Preparation Matters
Regardless of the growing number of colleges adopting test-optional policies, the SAT continues to be one of the most important deciding factors when it comes to college applications. In 2023, 80% of colleges considered SAT scores as a factor in deciding admissions.
Those who take up structured SAT preparation courses score an average of 100-150 points more than those who study on their own.
Alfa Beta students, on average, are able to increase their scores by more than 200 points after completing our comprehensive program.

Sarah T., Harvard University, Class of 2024 explains, “It was 1280 on the diagnostic test and I needed at least 1450 to be competitive for my preferred schools. After attending Alfa Beta's 8-week program, my score after the SAT was 1520! The reading strategies were everything for me.”
Marcus L., UCLA, Class of 2025 suggests “I have consistently low 600s scores, as math has always been my Achilles' heel.” My instructor with Alfa Beta pinpointed particular gaps in my understanding and gave me tailored drills. I ended up getting a 750 on the math section. The difference in scores due to the attention was shocking.”
Emily R., NYU Class of 2023 explains “Strategies for time management of the SAT that I learned at Alfa Beta helped me significantly, but have also continued assisting me throughout my college career.
