Higher scores are within your reach…
 

We do not believe in simply teaching to a test.   Instead, our research-based approach applies a proven mix of both content mastery and test-taking strategies that yields optimal results for our students. Courses are taught by expert instructors who bring more than just high scores to their positions. Instruction is student-centered and interactive; we engage students by making relevant connections to what they already know, both inside and outside of the classroom. Class sizes are limited to allow maximum participation and individual feedback throughout each course.  All of our offerings are held in your own designated space..

At the core of IST’s test prep curricula are the IST Learning Legends™, characters with unique learning personalities designed to help students better navigate through the exam. Fast Eddie™, Sammy and Samantha Smart™ (“The Smarts”), Lucky Lucy™ and Bea Reddie™ strategically appear throughout each program of study, offering students helpful tips and revealing creative methods to break down complex information and retain key facts.
