The ACT is now 125 minutes long, with the Composite Score based on English, Math, and Reading only. Science and Writing are optional.
Neither test is objectively harder. The best pick depends on the student’s strengths. The ACT is now shorter and offers optional Science; the SAT has a different (adaptive) format. Diagnostic testing will determine the better fit. Know more
There’s no limit; however, taking more than 4 attempts is not recommended. Most learners take it twice for the best score, and Tutela’s program covers 2 attempts.
The average global score is ~21. Top universities look for 32+, while Ivy League admits often score between 34–35.
No preference. Both are equally accepted. Students should choose based on their strengths.
We could tell you how impactful we are. But they already did.
Tutela has helped me prepare for IB, the SAT, and SAT Subject Tests. The teachers are knowledgeable and really try to focus on the needs of each student, and make every class an extremely fun experience. They are experienced and have been successful in their endeavors for years now, primarily due to their extensive list of resources. I don't even have a shred of doubt in my mind that Tutela has helped me academically succeed ever since I joined. Read More

Tutela has been one of the most integral parts of my college applications process. As soon as I joined Tutela, I was overwhelmed by how supportive the teachers were. They helped me improve my SAT score by 120 points and they also helped me a get a 800 in SAT Subject Test(Math). I also took AP Calculus and Statistics classes, in which I got 5 and 4 respectively. Most importantly, teachers and students at Tutela share a mentor-mentee relationship which makes the learning experience thoroughly enjoyable.

Tutela was a great help during my AP prep. My mentors were very helpful in scheduling extra classes and practice sessions according to my requirements. They ensured that I was well-prepared by test day. Even though all my APs went well, Tutela made Calculus and Stats a far better learning experience compared to the ones I self-prepared for!

I started with SAT coaching at Tutela in August and I came to like their way of teaching in the end. In the middle of my prep, my parents and I were uncertain about the style of teaching as my scores were not as good as we expected. However, Prashant sir started teaching me later and I found his outlook very helpful. All the help from Tutela helped me achieve a 1550 in my December SAT. Read More

Anyone who's looking for SAT or AP coaching classes, Tutela is definitely the right place. Tutela helped me upgrade my SAT score by 190 points. Shoutout to Avichal sir and Sanskriti mam who supported me through my SAT journey. My AP classes were phenomenal and really fun with new skills to gain in every class. Special shoutout to Ishita mam and Om sir for having such fun and interesting classes and making tough concepts seem so easy. Tutela was definitely the right choice for me. Read More
National Public School, Gurugram, India
I had only a couple of weeks left for my SAT Physics Subject Test. The teacher was very accommodating of the time crunch that I had. Even with the minimal time, he was able to teach all the topics thoroughly and effectively. By the end of the course, I actually had time left for taking many practice tests. As for AP Physics, I started out with absolutely no prior knowledge of many topics. The teache, Mr. Ashish, was able to adjust his pace of teaching with my pace and understanding of topics. He gave plenty of examples to explain the concepts. I never felt that I was preparing for the test on my own. Whenever I needed help, I could ask my instructor and he would respond within minutes.
