Ideally, students should begin SAT or ACT test prep about 6 to 12 months before their intended test date. This allows ample time to build foundational skills, practice extensively, and gain confidence without feeling rushed. For students balancing demanding IB curriculum or A-Levels, starting earlier is often beneficial to avoid conflicts with school exams and commitments. Cardinal Education offers flexible scheduling to accommodate busy student lives in Singapore.
Both the SAT and ACT are standardized tests widely accepted by U.S. colleges for undergraduate admissions.
Choosing between the two depends on your child’s strengths. We recommend taking a diagnostic test for both to see which format suits them better.
Students can take the SAT and ACT multiple times, and most U.S. universities will consider their highest scores.
Our advice is to plan for 2-3 attempts, allowing for improvement without excessive testing. Our test prep programs are designed to help your child achieve their target score efficiently.
Beyond SAT and ACT scores, Singaporean students often face unique challenges in the U.S. college admissions process. These include:
At Cardinal Education, we offer comprehensive guidance that goes beyond test prep to address these challenges, helping Singaporean students present a strong, well-rounded application to their dream U.S. universities.
