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 highly recommend this coaching center. They had an extremely detailed and well-structured approach for my test preparation. Not only that, the teachers were very welcoming and comfortable to talk to. They would always arrange an extra class for coverups, doubt sessions whenever needed. Thanks to the entire team, I obtained my dream sat score. I enjoyed the entire experience (which is surprising to say for a tuition center?). Loved it! Read More

The Shri Ram School, Aravali, Haryana, India
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

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, India
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

American Embassy School, New Delhi, India
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! Read More

The Shri Ram School, Aravali, Haryana, India
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

Vasant Valley School, New Delhi, India
Tutela is an extremely organized center and provides students with ample resources to achieve the scores they desire. The helpful and patient teachers along with the multiple practice tests helped me obtain a 35 on the ACT, along with great SAT subject test and AP scores. Overall, it is a great center, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Read More

Metro Delhi International School, Greater Noida, India
I had an amazing experience with Tutela! My teachers were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in my progress. What stood out the most was how fruitful the review sessions were with every session being instrumental in recognising patterns in my approach and working towards them. Thank you for all the help! Read More

Pathways School, Gurgaon, Haryana, India
I've taken 4 AP classes and SAT prep with Tutela and I can confidently say it has been the best test prep experience that I've had. The faculty is exceptional since they are super knowledgable, approachable and I felt that they took literally every step to ensure I did well. They help throughout the duration of the course, even outside class times and as a student it alleviates so much stress. Tutela's resources are the best. There's no shortage of exam-level problem sets, and the team curates the best, most relevant questions to practice with- helping ensure that I was fully confident and not overwhelmed on test day. The mock exams were so accurate in reflecting the real test format and difficulty, and the review sessions and study strategies helped bridge every gap between where I was and my dream score. It was because of them that a hard test on exam day didnt leave me panicked. The pacing of the classes was perfect, I never felt rushed or disengaged. Concepts were taught with both depth and clarity and made me have a strong foundation of the subject. Over the past two years, I’ve grown tremendously through my experience at Tutela, and hence plan to rely solely on them for any future standardized test preparation. I can never thank Zeba ma'am, Manu sir, Akash sir, Himanshi ma'am, Samriddhi ma'am and Ashi ma'am enough Read More
