Ivy Bound offers a PSAT review for students (and possibly parents who'd convene via internet) when the scores are returned in December or January. For schools wanting a convocation (perhaps with dessert) an Ivy Bound senior staffer will help diagnose:

Prospects for the SAT

Prospects for the ACT

Whether to take both SAT and ACT

Who should take Subject Tests

How to build strength in each weak area.

There is no charge for an evening or weekend session if parents are attending. For a student only session (or students and counselors), there is a charge based on how extensive you'd like our work to be. The session can be done with
Skype/GoToMeeting so student or parents stuck at home that evening can still attend.

Outside of the PSAT, if you have juniors or seniors who would profit from a class or private tutoring, please encourage them or their parents to view our offerings at
