ACT/SAT Success Studio

The ACT/SAT Success Studio, run by our partners at ESM Prep, integrates standardized test preparation into students' Summer Discover journey, helping them make their summers as productive as possible. This program allocates dedicated time and space for focused ACT/SAT preparation through two-hour sessions each morning. Unlike traditional classroom-based test prep courses, this experience emphasizes individualized attention and customized learning approaches, accommodating each student's specific test preparation needs and goals. After completing a pre-program questionnaire, students will receive a fully customized syllabus that solidifies their weaknesses and accentuates their strengths. A highly experienced ESM Prep mentor will be present at each session to provide one-on-one instruction and answer any questions students may have. Available in two or three-week formats, this program allows students to maintain, or create, momentum in their test preparation journey while fully participating in their other chosen Summer Discovery activities. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a recommended plan from ESM so they can continue to progress after their time at Summer Discovery.
