Strategic Test Prep

Hi! I’m Laura Whitmore, founder of Strategic Test Prep. I scored a 1590 on the digital SAT and have spent the past 19 years helping thousands of students dramatically increase their SAT and ACT scores.
I personally built and trained a team of 1500+ scoring tutors, and together we’ve helped more students break into the 1500s than any other tutoring company.
Our specialty is taking motivated students scoring in the 1300s and 1400s and helping them break into the 1500s with the strategies, patterns, and mindset needed to master the SAT.

✅ You’ve put in the work. You’ve shown up for the practice tests, the mistakes, the review sessions, and the questions that didn’t click the first time.

Now take a breath. 😌

You do not need a perfect test day. You just need to stay steady, trust your preparation, and give each question the attention it deserves.

November SAT students: you’ve got this!💜

These SAT Math questions look complicated—until you recognize the shortcut. 👀

Swipe through Formulas 31–35 to review five skills that can make some of the hardest SAT Math problems much faster:
📊 Removing values from a data set
➗ The perfect-square identity
▭ Uniform borders around rectangles
📈 Exponential percent increase
🔄 Dimensional analysis and unit conversions

The SAT rarely tells you which formula to use. 🥹 The real skill is recognizing the setup—and avoiding the trap hidden inside it. 😉

POV: You solved it correctly. ✅ Then you picked 70 when the question said less than 70. 😭

That’s one of 10 question patterns I’d review before the November SAT. Swipe through for quick ways to spot grammar traps, recognize when a quadratic has no real solutions, and catch the sneaky switch from hours to minutes.

Taking the SAT later? 👉 Save this for your next Bluebook review. When you miss a question, see if you can name the pattern before you redo it!

I walk through all 10 questions on ▶️ YouTube at @StrategicTestPrep.

👇 Which one would you want to practice first: grammar, quadratics, or geometry?

What's your biggest SAT PREP struggle? 🤔

One month. A 1520. And a message from mom that we’re still smiling about. 💜

You've put in the hard work, stayed intentional, and built a plan that helped her make the most of her prep time. ⏰

A great SAT score is never about “being naturally good at tests.” It’s about understanding what to work on, practicing with purpose, and having the right support along the way. 🚗
