Standardized Test Prep

Scores rise from solving accurately.

Credit By Exam · STAAR · AP® · SAT® · ACT (coming soon) · IB (coming soon)

Practice under real test conditions, deep review of the concepts, and the test-day strategy that lifts scores. We start by diagnosing exactly where your student stands.

Timing

We start by choosing a target test date.

Once the test date is set, the prep window is set — and once the window is set, so is what to do today.

Credit By Exam and STAAR schedules vary by school district. Round Rock ISD, Austin ISD, and Leander ISD each differ in frequency and timing, so the table above is a general guide. We confirm your district’s exact dates during the consultation.

Solutions

Start in the format that fits your student.

Take classes, get management, or combine both.

01
Regular Classes

Semester-long courses by subject — where concepts and fundamentals get finished before test prep begins.

  • Semester terms (fall · spring · summer)
  • Organized by subject
  • Fixed weekly schedule
Best forStudents whose diagnostic shows unfinished fundamentals. Entering a prep cohort in that state puts a ceiling on the score they can reach.
02
SAT Prep Cohorts

An intensive course timed to the test season, for students whose fundamentals are in place. Built around type-by-type strategy and full-length practice exams.

  • Cohort-based
  • Type analysis + error notes
  • PRUF full-length mock exams
Best forStudents with solid fundamentals who need to raise scores strategically before a target test date.
03
Learning Management

We manage the hours outside class. Beyond building a plan and checking it daily, we analyze each student’s strengths and weaknesses and supply extra practice in the exact types they need.

  • Monthly · year-round
  • Weakness-driven extra practice
  • PRUF study plans · monthly reports
Best forStudents who attend class but whose scores don’t move, and students whose independent study time keeps collapsing.
Classes or the cohort? The diagnostic decides.

The SAT cohort raises scores through strategy. Without finished fundamentals, a student knows the playbook but the passages won’t read and the concepts underneath are missing — so it doesn’t work.

Fill the fundamentals first, then move up. It looks like a detour, but the score you land on is higher.

Class is where students learn; management is what keeps what they learned from scattering. You can take classes alone or management alone — but the students whose scores moved most did both.

Materials

As hard as the real thing — or harder

Store-bought booksEasier
The real testBaseline
YEON itemsAbove

10,000+ validated items

Every student’s weak types differ, and a pattern only sets in after meeting the same type again and again. Store-bought books can’t serve one type on repeat. Because we write our own items, we can keep supplying the types a student needs, in the quantity they need.

Validated and refreshed every semester

01

Write

New items written to the exam’s specifications and type distribution.

02

Internal review

Answer rationale, distractor validity, and difficulty are cross-checked.

03

Compare against real data

Students’ actual accuracy and timing are matched against real test results.

04

Revise each semester

Items that miss are retired or rewritten. Every semester, again.

Method

Analyze the types, attack with strategy.

Locking down core concepts first, then preparing type by type, is the fastest route.

01

Type analysis & strategy

We codify an approach for each question type and attack it strategically.

→ Better time use, fewer wrong answers
02

Personalized error notes

There is a clear causal link between error-note completion and scores.

→ Pinpoints strengths and weaknesses
03

Applied check quizzes

Reading a passage precisely takes knowing each word’s nuance and usage.

→ Learning by understanding, not memorization
04

Real high-difficulty items

Approached with purpose, even an unfamiliar problem becomes a solvable one.

→ Ready for the killer questions

We stay in constant contact with students and parents alike.

Dedicated management chat

Ask anytime and get an answer within 1–2 hours. Watching 300+ students has confirmed one thing: the students who talk with us most reach their goals.

Regular progress reports

Before every parent meeting, we report class attitude, assignment completion, and recommendations in detail.

Regular parent consultations

Throughout the program we review the student’s status, direction, and overall performance together with parents.

Getting started takes three steps.

01

Parent consultation

We map the student’s academic level, current situation, and goals.

02

Diagnostic mock exam

We examine the student’s ability in detail, area by area.

Combining the consultation and exam results, we propose the format that fits best.

FAQ

The questions we hear most before a consultation.

Can we take classes only, without management?

Yes — Regular Classes and the SAT cohort can each be taken on their own, without the management program. That said, when the hours outside class go unmanaged, what was learned often doesn’t survive to the next week — so in the consultation we’ll tell you which setup the student actually needs.

Can my student go straight into the SAT cohort?

It depends on the diagnostic mock exam. With unfinished fundamentals, type strategy alone stalls at a certain score. In that case, filling the fundamentals in Regular Classes first and then moving up is faster in the end. We’ll tell you which applies after the diagnostic.

Is it too late to start now?

Count backward from the test date: 3 months for the SAT, 4 months for AP, and 6–8 weeks for CBE are typical prep runs. If less time remains, adjusting the goal or targeting the next date is usually the better call — and that judgment gets precise after the diagnostic mock exam.

Which tests do you prepare?

Credit By Exam, STAAR, AP®, and SAT®. ACT and IB are in the works.

How do the mock exams run?

On PRUF, the platform we built, under real test conditions — including the digital SAT’s adaptive format — so the scores can be trusted as-is. Per-question timing and frequently missed types are recorded alongside.

What materials do you use?

Entirely YEON-made materials, designed at or above real-test difficulty, then validated and refreshed every semester against actual test data.

Can students ask questions anytime?

Yes — through the dedicated management chat, usually answered within 1–2 hours.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the class format, subjects, and management scope. We confirm what the student needs in the consultation, then quote an exact figure.
