Mark your calendar for the biggest test of your academic career.

Test day is right around the corner. Are you prepared? Sylvan's SAT* and ACT® test prep courses typically start five to eight weeks before the scheduled test date. This provides plenty of time to work with our instructors to master key test-taking skills and strategies that will help you score higher. Our test prep classes are small and fill up quickly—especially for the more popular test dates.

Contact Sylvan today to find out how enroll or schedule your free practice test.

Important PSAT, SAT and ACT test dates and information

The SAT and ACT are never offered on the same day, so you can take both exams without fear of conflict. However, if you choose to take the SAT Subject Tests, you will not be able to take the SAT Reasoning Test on the same day.
