The ACT and the New Digital sat
The ACT and SAT are notoriously difficult tests. Our tutors employ a methods-of-reasoning approach to tutoring the ACT and SAT, teaching students how to approach problems, and the skills and strategies necessary for employing those problem solving skills.

AP and IB exams
Students take AP and IB courses for a variety of reasons: special interest or ability in a topic, an effort to burnish transcripts for college admissions, or a desire to get a head start on college level work. Whatever the motivation, many students are unprepared for the rigors. Ascendant Tutoring offers assistance with all Science, Mathematics, English, History and Social Science AP and IB exams.

NY STATE REGENTS, ELA AND MATHEMATICS EXAMS
New York State exams have expanded in scope and importance since the introduction of "Common Core" standards. In addition to class placement within a school. they are used to determine admissions to New York City middle and high schools. Furthermore, in order to graduate with a NY State Regents Diploma, students must pass a battery of Regents exams. Ascendant Tutoring helps students with all Mathematics, English Language Arts (ELA), Science and Social Studies exams administered by NY State, as well as parallel tests in neighboring states.
The Shsat, ssat/isee, and COOP/TAchs/chsee/HSPT
Gaining access to top-level secondary and high schools in the NY Metro Area is challenging. Every year, tens of thousands of students take the SHSAT to compete for a few thousand spots in NYC's specialized high schools. In fact, getting into the most selective of those schools, Stuyvesant, is statistically more difficult than gaining admission to Harvard! Many thousands more take the SSAT/ISEE and COOP/TACHS/CHSEE/HSPT for entry to private secular and Catholic institutions. Ascendant's tutors have extensive experience with these schools and exams, and a great track record of helping prospective students gain entry to them. For more information, please click here.
