SAT scores are an essential ingredient of US university
applications. Our SAT prep lessons have been helping students

After 18 years teaching the traditional SAT, ITS is delighted to launch our in-house Digital SAT Course
updated to the 2023 format for international SAT candidates.
The Digital SAT course has been tailor-made as per College Board specifications and has been broken
down into a Reading and Writing Course and a Math Course separately.
We are the first provider of Digital SAT Courses in Asia using our very own Digital SAT platform -
https://digital.itseducation.asia/student/login - where students can learn various strategies associated
with key questions and practice answering them in the same manner as they would in the real Digital
SAT test. This will not only enable them to get over the fear of taking the test online but also help them,
to a reasonable extent, answer the questions within the time limit.
Both the courses are further categorized into 10 Hour - Regular and 15 Hour - Intensive courses in order
to give the students a broader spectrum of courses to choose from based on their relative academic
strength in the two areas.
Live or Online: Students can join the class live on campus or online
from home.
Video Recordings: Students can review any past lectures online.

Why enroll for ITS Digital SAT Course?
ITS Digital SAT course gives students an edge in terms of how to deal with frequently tested questions in
the exam.
One of the key skills needed for the test is to be able to eliminate wrong answer choices based on
elimination techniques and our Digital SAT course particularly focuses on that.
Since writing and language is entirely rules based, mastering the grammar rules coupled with
elimination techniques can get a student to score up to nearly 95%+ out of the 54 writing and language
questions tested in the exam.
When it comes to reading based questions, the course also teaches students various strategies that can
guide them get to the right answer.
In the quants section, questions tested are quite unique compared to the questions students normally
encounter in a school-based learning environment. Hence, it is of utmost importance that a test taker
learns short cuts that can enable them to tackle questions within a stipulated time limit.
We have a consistent success rate in the past with many students scoring more than 1500 on their SAT
and an average add-on value of 200 points.
