The activity

Exam Prep, explained

Exam prep and academic enrichment classes help children go beyond the school syllabus. Younger children usually start with maths problem-solving or hands-on science: puzzles, simple experiments and learning to explain how they reached an answer. Older students move on to timed practice for tests such as the SAT, PSAT or ACT, working through past-style papers and learning how to manage the clock. Done well, it builds confidence with tricky, unfamiliar questions, good study habits and the reasoning that school tests and competitions reward. Many enrichment courses start from around age 8, while formal test prep is mostly for secondary-school students.

Who it's for

Children and teenagers from 8 to 19 on the Math Marvel and Youth Scientist courses (Basic 8-10, Intermediate 11-14, Advanced 15-19), secondary-school students preparing for the SAT, PSAT, ACT, AP exams, IELTS or TOEFL, and adults on the GMAT, GRE and LSAT courses. The site doesn't mention support for special needs, so ask the provider.

What to expect

The Math Marvel and Youth Scientist pages list three levels by age. The Basic science level uses simple experiments and hands-on activities, and Basic maths uses puzzles and problem-solving exercises. The site says its courses run online or hybrid, and that online classes are available for Youth Scientist, so ask whether your child's level runs in person at the centre. It doesn't say how long each course runs or what a first session looks like. For SAT students, the SAT page (last updated June 2024) lists 2-hour classes with one-to-one, mini-group (3-5) or group (6-8) options, practice tests, and online or face-to-face classes on weekdays and weekends. No trial class is mentioned, so ask about one when you call.
