Introducing Milton Ivy Tutors: 1580 SAT, 36 ACT, 526 MCAT

If you or your child is taking the SAT, ACT, or MCAT, this is worth reading.

1580 SAT (99th percentile) · 36 ACT (99th percentile) · 526 MCAT (100th percentile)

What do all of these scorers have in common? They're all part of Milton Ivy Tutors — the initiative I've founded with students from Harvard University and other colleges to bring elite results to students in the town of Milton.

This year, our team of tutors and I have had students score 1580, 1540, 1520, and 1500 on the SAT. On average, students improve by 210 points. On the MCAT, we've had students go from 490 to 512.

So what's the secret?

The answer is simple: volume. Sami, our newest tutor who recently scored 1580, completed every advanced question available online. Youssef, who entered the 100th percentile on the MCAT, completed endless practice problems and question banks.

But our SAT, ACT, and MCAT students reach the same result in a fraction of the time using study techniques, structured preparation, and working smarter — not harder.
