Plan ahead with KNOW‑vember

Why is the month of November important in test prep?

The most popular SAT and ACT exams take place between February and April, which may seem like a long time away, but in reality, many students start preparing immediately at the start of the new year or even earlier.

Classes begin at least 4-8 weeks before the test date, and some fill up quickly. For example, Curvebreakers’ in-office classes for the March exam often sell out, requiring families to register by December 1st.

Students looking to do private tutoring often put in 2-3 months of weekly sessions before their first exam. Many of our tutors have limited availability by the end of January.

What is “KNOW”-vember?

November gives families the perfect opportunity to learn about these exams, understand how to prepare effectively, and build a plan without scrambling. That’s why Curvebreakers offers free events and resources all month long. Families can make smart, confident decisions, turning November into KNOW-vember.

By the end of November, you should KNOW

• If you’re preparing for the SAT or ACT
• The dates of your upcoming exams
• How you’re going to prepare
• Steps to take to achieve your goal score
