Jeddah families tend to come to us in 10th or 11th grade with a strong GPA from an American or IB school, a first SAT in the 1200s, and a school list built from what cousins and classmates did. The score, not the GPA, is usually what holds the list back.
Riyadh is where most of our Saudi students live, and the pattern is consistent: excellent grades, a heavy course load, and an SAT that lags the GPA by 200 points because nobody has taught the test itself. That gap is the most fixable part of the whole application.
Students in Dammam, Dhahran, and Khobar — many of them in Aramco-community or ISG schools — arrive with strong math foundations and a Reading & Writing section that drags the total down. The plan is usually front-loaded on grammar mechanics and reading pace.
Dubai students are the most test-aware families we work with — many have already tried a group SAT class and plateaued. Our job is the opposite of a classroom: one tutor, one student, one plan built from the diagnostic.
Abu Dhabi families often have NYU Abu Dhabi and a US top-20 list on the same page — both of which read the SAT seriously. We build one prep plan that serves both, timed around the student's IB or AP calendar.
Doha is unusual: Education City puts six US universities within driving distance, and every one of them reads the SAT. Many of our Doha students apply to both Education City and the US main campuses, and the score matters for both.
Kuwait students are often on scholarship tracks that set hard SAT minimums, so the target is not vague. We work backwards from the number the scholarship or the school list requires and build the plan to reach it with margin.
Bahrain's international schools produce confident readers, so most of our Manama students need targeted Math work — Algebra 2 fluency and the harder problem-solving questions in the second adaptive module.
Muscat has fewer local SAT prep options than the larger Gulf cities, so most of our Oman students have been studying alone from Khan Academy. That is a good base; what is missing is a plan, a tutor, and full-length timed mocks.
Every student begins with a full-length adaptive Digital SAT diagnostic that we grade ourselves. From it we build a 12-week 1-on-1 plan targeting the exact question types the student misses — usually English grammar mechanics and Algebra 2 fluency for Gulf students — with weekly reviewed homework and 15+ full-length timed mocks. Most students start in the 1200s and finish at 1500 or above.
Test prep is one of four pillars in our college counseling program. Families who want the full application handled — school list, essays, activities, interviews, and summer planning — can read about college counseling in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Oman.
