SAT & ACT Summer Programs 2025
Raleigh Tutoring is offering several ACT and SAT prep options this summer. Check them out!
SAT/ACT: Find Your Best Fit & Prepare - In-Person and Online Options Available
SAT vs. ACT: Which test is the best fit for you? This class is designed to help students identify the college entrance exam that aligns best with their strengths—and prepare them to succeed on that test.
During their sophomore year, students take either the PSAT or the Pre-ACT and will provide those scores to their instructors. On Monday, students will take a practice version of the test they did not take at school. We will then compare both sets of scores to determine whether the SAT or ACT is the better fit.
From Tuesday through Thursday, students will receive focused instruction in all subject areas of their best-fit test. On Friday, they will take another full-length practice test to measure progress and identify areas for continued improvement.
Students will also receive either The Official SAT Study Guide or The Official ACT Prep Guide, along with expert guidance on test registration and preparation strategies.

Introducing Our Common App Essay Class
Get a head start on your college applications by completing your personal statement this summer! Crafting a standout college essay can be one of the most challenging—and important—parts of the application process. This class--available both in-person and online-- is designed to guide students through every step of writing a compelling Common App personal statement. Raleigh Tutoring’s College Essay Class helps students move from uncertainty to a confident, polished final draft. Through a guided process, students will:
- Brainstorm ideas and reflect on personal experiences to uncover meaningful moments that have shaped their identities.
- Choose the Common App prompt that best aligns with their story.
- Draft, revise, and refine their essays into a compelling final version.
Before class begins, students will complete a questionnaire to help identify key milestones and accomplishments. Students should bring a laptop and have access to Google Docs for writing and feedback. If students finish early, they can work on any additional essays they may have.
Students will leave the course with a polished Common App essay—and peace of mind heading into senior year. Completing your essay early means less stress in the fall and more time to focus on classes, extracurriculars, and college applications. Don’t wait—make your essay a strength, not a scramble.
