About Excelligenz

Excelligenz is a test-preparation centre at #502, Al Bedaia Building in Al Barsha 1. Much of its work is with adults taking IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, GMAT or GRE, but it also runs courses teenagers take on the way to university: SAT (taught to the Digital SAT format), ACT, and AP classes in maths and sciences. Its calculus page adds classes for Grade 9 to 12 students across IGCSE, IB and A-Level. You can choose group classes or private lessons. Group SAT prep is 60 hours of classroom training and private SAT is 40 hours, both with a diagnostic test and six mock tests with reviews; the ACT course is 50 hours. The centre lists a Regular Track (8 weeks, two 2-hour after-school classes a week), a Fast Track (4 weeks, four a week) and flexible one-to-one tutoring, so ask how many weeks the course you want will run. It is rated 5.0 on Google from 187 reviews. Prices are not on the website, so ask the centre for a quote.

The activity

Exam Prep, explained

Exam prep is structured tutoring aimed at one specific test, such as the SAT or ACT for university entry, or AP exams in maths and science. Teens usually start with a diagnostic test that shows where they are, then work through the question types section by section, learn timing strategies, and sit full practice papers under exam conditions. Along the way it builds exam technique, stamina for a two- to three-hour exam and the confidence of knowing what is coming. Most teens start in the last two or three years of secondary school, once they know which universities and exams they are aiming for.

Who it's for

Secondary-school students preparing for the SAT, ACT or AP exams (maths and sciences), and Grade 9-12 students (IGCSE, IB, A-Level) who need help with calculus. The centre's other courses (IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, OET, CELPIP, GMAT, GRE) are mainly for adults and university applicants. It is not a centre for younger children, and no minimum age is published, so ask the provider.

What to expect

SAT, ACT and AP courses all begin with a diagnostic test to find your teen's starting level. After that come classroom sessions with study material provided. ACT and AP students also get tests every two weeks with reviews, and every one of these courses includes six full mock tests with reviews. Private SAT classes have flexible timing to suit the student. Ask the provider how many weeks your teen's course will run and on which days. The homepage invites students to sign up for a free trial class for SAT and IELTS, so ask whether it is still running before you book. Ask the provider what to bring.
