What the SAT is
Brief Description:
Our company specializes in offering top-notch SAT preparation services designed specifically for the new Digital SAT format. We provide personalized instruction and customized practice materials to optimize each student’s performance on this critical college admissions exam. With our experienced tutors, who have a demonstrated history of guiding students to success, we ensure that every student reaches their full potential on the Digital SAT.
Why It’s Best to Present Test Scores:
Submitting SAT scores can significantly enhance your college application, especially as more universities revert to requiring standardized tests. Many colleges and universities weigh SAT scores as a crucial factor in their admissions process. A robust SAT score not only showcases your academic prowess but also signals to admissions officers your readiness for college-level work. Moreover, presenting SAT scores can open doors to merit-based scholarships and various financial aid opportunities, underscoring the importance of achieving a competitive score on this vital exam.
Online Version of the SAT and How It Differs from Traditional Form:
The online SAT differs from the traditional paper-and-pencil format by being administered digitally on a computer or tablet. Instead of filling in bubbles on a physical answer sheet, students interact with the test questions through a digital interface, using a keyboard or mouse to select their answers. This digital format offers advantages such as faster test-taking and immediate scoring. Additionally, the online SAT may feature adaptive question difficulty, tailoring the test to each student’s skill level. While the content remains consistent, the presentation may vary slightly, with reading passages and math problems displayed differently on the screen compared to printed materials. Test security measures, such as digital proctoring and secure browser settings, help ensure the integrity of the test administration. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective test preparation and performance.

Taking the SAT offers several benefits for students planning to pursue higher education:
Universities can use an SAT score as one of the initial filters for incoming applications. That’s not to say that SAT scores below a threshold are automatically rejected, but it does carry a significant amount of weight in the admissions process. Other factors include a student’s GPA, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. A strong SAT score can only bolster a student’s application and provide a competitive advantage.

When should someone take the SAT
G3 Academy recommends high school students take the SAT during their junior year (11th grade), with exceptions for pushing for higher scores early in their senior year (12th grade). If your school operates on a non-traditional American academic calendar, please reach out to us.

In the United States, the exam is offered seven times per year: August, October, November, December, March, May, and June. Some schools may offer a School-Day administration in April, as well.
Internationally, the exam is offered six times yearly: August, October, December, March, May, and June. Starting March 2023, international students will take the new, digital version of the SAT.
While there’s no restriction on the number of times a student can take the official SAT exam, each attempt requires a registration fee and should be spaced at least a month apart. At G3 Academy, we recommend students take advantage of our free practice tests to prepare effectively. By utilizing our practice tests, students can refine their skills and strategies, ensuring they’re fully prepared for the official exam. We advise students to aim for no more than three official attempts, allowing ample time for preparation before each attempt. Our goal is to help students achieve their best scores, and we believe that with thorough preparation and strategic planning, three well-planned official attempts can yield optimal results.

The ACT (American College Testing) is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It assesses students’ academic readiness for college and covers four main subject areas: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. Additionally, there is an optional Writing section.
The ACT differs from the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) in several ways:
Overall, the choice between the ACT and SAT often depends on individual strengths, preferences, and the requirements of the colleges or universities to which a student is applying.
What the HSPT is?
The HSPT is a standardized exam commonly taken by students applying to Catholic high schools, including popular ones in Miami like Carrolton, Immaculata-La Salle, Columbus, and Lourdes, and traditionally administered on the first Saturday in December. While exam results are typically applicable to multiple schools, at G3 Academy, we recommend confirming this with each institution.
Comprising 298 multiple-choice questions across five sections—Verbal, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading, Mathematics, and Language—the HSPT assesses students’ proficiency in English and Math. Each section comes with its own time limit; for instance, the Quantitative section features 52 questions to be completed within 30 minutes.
Our program is meticulously designed to align with the content covered in the exam, which is tailored for 8th graders. It draws upon material students should have learned or are currently learning up to 8th grade.
Why should someone take the HSPT
Eighth-grade students applying to Catholic high schools for ninth grade may be asked to take the HSPT to evaluate the student for admission and even for placement after admission. The exam is a comprehensive check on a student’s capabilities in the areas of reading comprehension, verbal skills, mathematics, and reasoning skills.
When should someone take the HSPT
There are no nationally or officially set dates for the HSPT. Instead, high schools choose a date for the exam as part of their admissions process. So, we recommend that students and parents inquire about the entire admissions process at every high school they intend on applying to. The exam is often only administered once by the school, with few exceptions for retakes or date changes.
Where does someone take the HSPT
Typically, the high school administering the exam will host the exam at their own location. However, we recommend you directly verify with the school all the details of when and where the exam will take place.
Students applying to multiple high schools requesting the HSPT on the same date will need to talk to the school at which they are taking the exam about sending the scores to other schools.
How does someone prepare for the HSPT
G3 Academy has expert tutors who have helped hundreds of students get admitted to their high school of choice. Our HSPT Prep Program will provide a comprehensive review of the topics students have to master to both perform well on the HSPT and place into higher-level courses in ninth grade. Practicing and reviewing will be essential for students as this may be one of the first major standardized tests they have ever taken.
The SSAT (Secondary School Admission Test) is a standardized test used for admission to private middle and high schools. It assesses students’ verbal, quantitative, and reading skills, as well as their writing ability (optional).
In contrast, the HSPT (High School Placement Test) is primarily used for admission to Catholic high schools. It evaluates students’ verbal, quantitative, reading, mathematics, and language skills.
While both tests assess similar academic abilities, the main differences lie in their content and target audience. The SSAT is geared towards students seeking admission to independent schools, while the HSPT is designed for those applying to Catholic high schools.
Additionally, the HSPT typically includes a broader range of subject areas compared to the SSAT, incorporating sections on mathematics and language skills in addition to verbal and reading comprehension.
Ultimately, the choice between the SSAT and HSPT depends on the specific requirements of the schools to which a student is applying and their individual strengths and preferences.
