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.

I'd joined Tutela while I was preparing for my class 10 boards, starting off with classes just for English. In the span of a few weeks, I saw improvement both in testing and otherwise. With in-depth knowledge and expertise about the testing process, Tutela enabled me to improve my test scores and test-taking skills with the help of teachers who personally connected with and supported the students. Practice is the key to success. This is something which is taken very seriously at Tutela, with multiple tests and drills every week to refine concepts. It's a place which enables both reinforcement and comfort, so I'm glad to have studied at the institute to secure a great ACT score! Read More

I started SAT preparation with Tutela a few months before my exam, and during the time when I prepared, I learnt a lot of tips and tricks that were essential to crack the exam. Tutela's endless resources and personalised classes, along with the paper reviewing sessions, really force you to stop making mistakes and propel you to the score that will get you into your dream school. For someone who is not good at self studying for an exam this vast and important, I would recommend at least trying it out- the difference in your scores and your confidence is definitely worth it!

I attended Tutela for about 3 months. Their welcome was very positive and they take every student as a challenge, working hard on their weaknesses. They pushed us to score better not by completing the curriculum early, but by making us understand the concepts. The teachers are devoted and they helped me at every step. They worked with me and guided me through the new online format. Due to their dedication, I was able to prepare for the December attempt in such a short time and get a good score. I’m thankful to everyone at Tutela for their support. Read More

Tutela’s online classroom facilities are fantastic! I had been taking online classes for more than 3 months, but it never slowed down my progress in any way. The number and pace of the classes were set according to my strengths and weaknesses, which made the learning process extremely efficient. The faculty is extremely resourceful when it comes to providing a variety of practise material and mock tests. But above all, their selfless commitment is what I appreciate the most. The teachers never hesitated to provide me with practise material even if I had not enrolled for a particular subject test. Indeed, Tutela has played a pivotal role in my success. Thank you Mukul, Ashish and Tutela for your support! Read More

The rigorous academics, strenuous testing and hours of practice often associated with preparatory centres are immediately forgotten when stepping foot into Tutela. Each day spent here only further validates my belief that every aspect of your performance will be addressed and improved upon: from the moment you plan on taking a test to, finally, the day of your exam. Testing aside, Tutela goes above and beyond to create the most conducive environment for your success - one cup of coffee, food as incentive, and a host of the most supportive teachers that will make the entire process enjoyable and worth the effort.
