We’re excited to have you as our student!
Here’s what to expect from your Test Prep journey with LogicPrep:
01
Intake Form
As you begin working with us, you’ll be prompted to complete a Test Prep Intake Survey, so that our team can get to know you better.

Kick-Off Meeting
During this meeting, your academic advisor will:
Get to know your personality to customize your experience, allowing your tutors to align with your learning style, study habits, and reading preferences.
Answer your questions about the test prep process and establish expectations.
Help you understand the key differences between the SAT and ACT.
What do we need from you:
Any PSAT, PACT, or SAT/ACT test scores or reports you've received.
If you receive any test accommodations at school (e.g., extended time, separate testing room), let us know. We're here to ensure your test prep aligns with your needs.
03
Diagnostic process
What to expect:
Our Diagnostic Process empowers LogicPrep students, with the support of our team, to determine which test to take and develop a personalized preparation plan.
You will begin your instruction with both a math/science lesson and a verbal lesson to learn the structure and basic components of the ACT before completing a full-length ACT. You will then repeat the process with two different instructors for the SAT.
