History
BreakThrough Test PrepTM, formerly Harriet Broder & Associates, Inc, has been offering innovative test preparation since 1990. Why innovative? BreakThrough may be the only program that has made teaching efficient reading skills - improving speed, comprehension and focus - an integral part of all test preparation. So not only do students learn invaluable strategies and techniques to improve their scores, but they also develop confidence in their critical reading skills - the foundation for true success. More specifically, this means knowing how to skim for the point, developing a reading range between 300-1200 wpm as well as improving reading efficiency relative to school work. P.S. These skills also aid in students becoming more adept at understanding the often opaque math questions.
Specialties
Based on almost four decades of experience, Breakthrough Test Prep is in the unique position to offer targeted one-on-one test preparation to significantly boost the scores of students at all skill levels. This unparalleled expertise is rooted in using our proprietary 60 Second ACT vs. SAT Assessment and our 90 Second SAT and ACT Skill Set Assessments to predict potential SAT and ACT score ranges. Ultimately, this provides us with the unique advantage to not only offer more individualized instruction but to accurately predict a student's optimum SAT or ACT test score. Students will not only significantly raise their scores, but by learning the mandatory critical reading and thinking skills relevant to the exams, they typically perform much better in their work at school.
