Our Approach: Diagnostics and Courses that Focus on Results
The key to any standardized test preparation is focus; students and parents want a program that will provide the right level of value for the time invested. Curvebreakers is always up-to-date on the newest changes to the test, skills required to do well, and teaching methodologies that simply work. Our unique, diagnostic score reports identify patterns and trends within each section of the test and for each question type. We get to the root of why questions are missed to help students focus on problem areas. Whether it's offered to all applicable students or incorporated into a class schedule, diagnostic practice tests are an essential part of preparing for the SAT & ACT.
Bringing together almost a decade of experience helping students write their college essays, Curvebreakers' courses on college essays ensure that students have the tools to write a compelling essay for the Common Application. The professional development course for teachers and school counselors focuses on what makes college application essays unique and how to connect an intended message to a creative essay topic. The end result is a unique essay for each student that stands out in a large pool of applicants.

“Working with Curvebreakers so far has been easy, seamless and pleasant. The lines of communication are strong and they are always looking to accommodate our school.”
— Peter Bosco, Guidance Counselor at St. Francis Prep
"One student even told us that the class helped him with test-taking skills that he rolled over into his History class and other exams. The instructor taught him the best strategies in reading a word passage or paragraph and then answering questions."

We provide the highest quality instructors that have all scored in the 99th percentile on college entrance exams.

Diagnostic reports to benchmark starting points and gauge progress. Students who take our SAT and ACT practice exams will each receive their own, personalized analysis of how they performed on the test. The diagnostic analysis breaks down test performance by section and also examines how the student did for each question type, offering specific insight into what content areas and test-taking strategies to focus on.
Regular check-ins with our school partners to hear about their successes and to proactively provide solutions to any challenges.
Marketing support in the form of fliers, QR codes, posts for social media, and email campaigns schools can use to inform students and their parents.
Student feedback is collected at the end of every live course, and we update the school on the engagement stats of their online course enrollments.
