Our SAT tutoring starts from PKR 45,000 per month for 1-on-1 online coaching. The package includes free mock tests, score analysis, and 150+ point improvement techniques, making it more cost-effective than unqualified tutors.
2. What is the best SAT prep book for Pakistani students?
For Pakistani students, we recommend:
- The Official Digital SAT Study Guide for 2024 test patterns
- College Panda SAT Math for concept mastery
- Erica Meltzer’s SAT Reading for English sections
Our tutors provide customized book guides based on individual weak areas.
3. Can I prepare for the SAT in 1 month?
This is among the most important SAT tutoring FAQs. Yes! Our 4-week SAT crash course helps students gain 100+ points through:
- 12 hours of targeted tutoring
- Focus on high-yield topics like Algebra and Grammar rules
- Full-length mock tests with instant feedback
- For 150+ point jumps, we recommend 3+ months of prep.
4. Is the SAT easier than the Pakistani board exams?
No! The SAT tests critical thinking, not memorization, making it harder for students reliant on rote learning. Our tutors bridge this gap by teaching SAT-specific strategies, aligning Pakistani curriculum math with SAT topics, and offering Urdu-language support for tough questions.
5. Do LUMS, or FAST require the SAT Essay?
No. The College Board has stopped offering the Essay in the SAT, so LUMS, FAST, and IBA no longer require it. However, if need be, our tutors can include essay writing training for scholarships, or overseas applications to the US, or the UK.
6. How do I choose between the SAT and ACT in Pakistan?
Take our free diagnostic test to compare your performance. Generally, the SAT suits students strong in math and analysis, while the ACT favors fast-paced test-takers with its science section. 90% of our Pakistani students prefer the SAT for LUMS or FAST.
7. What is the minimum SAT score for a LUMS scholarship?
Aim for 1400+ with 600+ in SAT Math to qualify for LUMS merit scholarships. Our scholarship-prep program has helped 12 students secure full rides this year.
8. Can I take the SAT online in Pakistan?
No. The SAT is only administered at official centers like Beaconhouse or LGS. However, our online tutoring prepares you remotely with Digital SAT simulators and real-time feedback.
9. What is the best time to take the SAT for US/UK university applications?
For US/UK applications, we recommend:
- Early testing: Take the SAT by June of Grade 11 to allow time for retakes.
- Deadline alignment: Most universities require scores by December (Early Action) or January (Regular Decision).
- Pro tip: Our tutors create customized timelines for students applying to Ivy Leagues, Oxbridge, or other top schools.
10. Do international students need higher SAT scores than local applicants?
Yes, competitive universities often expect 50–100 points higher from international applicants (especially from Pakistan). For example:
- Ivy Leagues: Aim for 1550+ (700+ in each section).
- UK Top 10: 1450+ (with strong subject tests if required).
Our international student program includes visa-friendly score targets and application coaching.
