The group study sessions over Zoom are a great place to get some extra help, while also having fun! All study sessions are hosted by fellow high schoolers and recent grads who have scored 1500+ on the SAT / 35+ on the ACT. The study sessions generally follow a curriculum to guide through a specific topic, followed by practice questions and sometimes a Kahoot game at the end! The study sessions have anywhere from 5-50 attendees and can make studying for the SAT more fun! Make sure to sign up for an Acely subscription to get access to these.
