Hi, I’m Melissa, founder and lead instructor at KOR Prep.
For nearly two decades, I’ve helped students prepare for the SAT and ACT, and I’ve had the privilege of working with many high-achieving students aiming for top scores. As a perfect scorer myself, I know firsthand that success on these tests isn’t about memorizing endless rules or studying for hours without direction. It’s about understanding how the test works and approaching it with the right strategy.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the SAT and ACT are constantly evolving. Testing policies change, colleges update their requirements, and new patterns appear in the questions students see on test day.
That’s why I created this blog.
Here, I’ll share updates that matter to students and families, including:
Important SAT and ACT test date reminders
Changes to college testing policies
Insights into how the tests are evolving
Practical test-taking strategies students can use right away
My goal is to make the world of standardized testing clearer, less stressful, and more manageable.
If you’re a student preparing for an upcoming test, a parent supporting the process, or simply someone trying to stay informed about college admissions testing, you’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here.
