What the bootcamp is
Not a lecture hall.
A small group with a plan.
The SAT rewards preparation more than raw talent. In a small group, students work on the question types and habits costing them the most points.
Pacing and strategy
When to move on, how to attack each question type, and how to stop losing easy points to the clock.
Focused review
We spend the most time on whatever is costing your student the most points.
Where things stand
Honest timing, so you can plan.
Sessions come together in three steps, so you know what to plan around.
01
Sessions are built around an SAT test date
Lily sets a boot camp when enough high school students are sitting the same SAT test date, which keeps the group small and points every hour at one deadline instead of a general syllabus.
02
The waitlist hears first
Dates, group size, and the price reach the waitlist before they go anywhere else. Tell us which SAT test date your student is aiming at and we can group students who are working toward the same one.
03
The group forms around one date
Students on the list are grouped by the SAT test date they are sitting, so the hours point at one deadline. That is what keeps a small group useful instead of a general syllabus.
Tell us the SAT test date your student is aiming at when you join, and we can group the list by date rather than by when people signed up.
Who it's for
Built for students who show up wanting a plan.
First-timers
Students sitting the SAT for the first time who want to walk in knowing what to expect.
Score-lifters
Students who have taken it once and want a real strategy for the retake.
The test-anxious
Students who freeze on the day. Enough realistic practice makes the format stop feeling scary.

★★★★★
"Lily worked with my son in the spring of his junior year as he prepared for the AP Calculus AB exam and the SAT. She was professional, knowledgeable, connected with Natan and engaged him in his learning. She definitely boosted his content mastery and exam scores for BOTH tests."

What is an SAT boot camp?
An SAT boot camp is a short, concentrated block of SAT prep, measured in days or a few weeks where a school-year course is measured in months. The point is density: students sit full-length SAT practice, review the question types that cost them points, and drill pacing while the material is still fresh for the test. Ours runs as a small group, so the prep stays pointed at the students actually in the room.
Is an SAT bootcamp worth it?
Whether an SAT bootcamp is worth it depends on the gap between where a student is and where they want to be. A boot camp works well for a student who already knows most of the content and is losing points to pacing, careless errors, or unfamiliarity with the digital format, because those are exactly what concentrated SAT practice fixes. A student missing a lot of the underlying math usually gets more out of individual SAT tutoring first, then a boot camp closer to the test date. We’ll tell you honestly which one fits on the consult call.
Is 800 a bad SAT score?
Whether 800 is a bad SAT score depends which 800 you mean, and that’s why the question comes up so often. The Digital SAT is scored from 400 to 1600 in total, made up of two sections scored 200 to 800 each, so an 800 on the Reading and Writing section or the Math section is a perfect section score. An 800 total, on the other hand, sits near the bottom of the scale and points to gaps worth working through well before test day.
What is on the Digital SAT?
Two sections, Reading and Writing then Math, taken on the College Board's Bluebook app in about two hours and fourteen minutes. The full breakdown, modules, content domains, timing and scoring, sits with our SAT prep in Maryland, and it’s worth ten minutes before you pick any prep at all.
How much is SAT bootcamp?
We share boot camp pricing when a session is scheduled, and waitlist families get it first, because a price only means something once a date and a group size exist. Individual SAT prep is priced separately by the hour, and that page carries the number and what it buys.
How is a boot camp different from other SAT prep courses?
Most SAT prep courses are built for a room of students who signed up at different points in their preparation, so the syllabus has to serve everyone at once. Boot camps compress the same ground into a short stretch aimed at one test date. Ours goes further by staying small: because it’s small group SAT tutoring rather than a class, Lily can spend the time where a particular student is losing points, whether that’s SAT reading, the grammar rules the Reading and Writing section keeps testing, or the math they haven’t touched since Algebra II.
How big are the groups?
Small enough that every student gets attention inside the session. Our group SAT tutoring sessions have run online over Zoom, which keeps the group tight and lets students anywhere in Maryland join without a commute. Group size is confirmed with the date when a session is scheduled, and it’s one of the things waitlist families hear first.
Will this help a student who gets anxious about the test?
Often, yes, and it’s one of the more common reasons families reach out. Students who freeze on test day are usually reacting to the unknown, so sitting timed, full-length SAT practice under realistic conditions is what takes the surprise out of it. Doing that in a small group helps too, since it’s easier to build confidence next to a few students working the same problems than alone at a kitchen table the week before you take the SAT.
How long should a student prepare for the SAT?
A run-up of a couple of months usually beats a single hard week, because pacing and stamina build through repetition, which one crammed week can’t supply. That said, the honest answer depends on the starting point and the test date. A boot camp is the concentrated block near the end; the individual tutoring sessions before it are where the underlying content gets rebuilt.
When is the next SAT Bootcamp?
Sessions are scheduled around SAT test dates, and the waitlist is the first place we announce one. Join it and tell us which test date your student is aiming at, so we can group students working toward the same one.
What does the SAT Bootcamp include?
Our SAT Bootcamp is focused small-group prep, typically about 10 hours over a short stretch, built on real SAT content. Students get full-length practice tests, pacing and question strategy, and focused review of the areas that cost them the most points.
Is the bootcamp online or in person?
Our bootcamps have run as small online groups over Zoom, which keeps the group tight and lets students across Maryland join without a commute. When a session is scheduled we confirm the format and group size on the waitlist.
My SAT is sooner than the next group. Can you still help?
Yes, though not through this waitlist. A boot camp is built around a scheduled group date, and a student testing sooner needs the plan built backward from their own date instead, which is what one-on-one SAT prep in Maryland is for. It runs all year.
Who is the bootcamp for?
Students preparing for an upcoming SAT who want structure, real practice, and a plan, whether they’re aiming to lift a first score or polish a strong one. Lily leads the SAT work and has spent years getting Maryland students ready for test day.
