SAT and ACT Preparation

A-List offers expert customised SAT and ACT tutoring in London, the UK, and across Europe.

We support SAT and ACT test preparation in all areas and stages.

Tutoring

The SAT and ACT are similar exams in terms of content, knowledge, and test-taking strategies. American universities that accept these exams have no preference for one over the other.

At A-List, we have been helping students maximise their scores on these crucial exams since 2005. Our tutors, graduates of top US universities, undergo rigorous SAT/ACT training and participate in ongoing professional development.

In addition to personalised 1-1 tutoring, we also provide SAT/ACT Intensive Courses designed specifically for group preparation.


Struggling to decide between the SAT and ACT?

Both exams are lengthy and timed, with the SAT providing a few more seconds per question. The SAT has a more complex questioning style, requiring careful unravelling. Both tests offer extra time for eligible students. Our advice is to try both exams under exam conditions. We provide invigilated practice tests, available in-person (at our Central London office) or online. 

SAT and ACT Courses

Our SAT and ACT Courses are the ideal choice to get a head start your exam preparation for both tests. Designed specifically for beginners, our interactive courses provide comprehensive instruction, strategic guidance, thorough revision, and tailored testing.

Developed and refined over a decade, these courses have benefited students globally. Each 5-day session, led by our expert instructors, serves as a mini-intensive course, providing individual coaching and timely feedback throughout the week.

Our  courses also specialise in teaching specific techniques for the new digital SAT, equipping students with the skills they need to excel in the adaptive format.

With the flexibility of online and in-person options available in central London, students from all over the world can easily participate in our courses.
