Do you know the secret formula to crush the AP exams, SAT, or ACT? If you aced your own exams and are ready to help other students do the same, join gt.school!

  • Identifying the best available learning resources that help students master SAT & ACT test-taking strategies and skills - through practice, mastery, and taking mock tests.
  • Helping students increase their SAT or ACT test scores in the most time-efficient manner possible - we want the time students put into the program to be valuable!

  • Continuously innovating to increase student engagement and success
