— WHY CONNECTPREP
What Makes ConnectPrep Different
From Every Other Option in Glencoe
Most test prep companies deliver a national curriculum. ConnectPrep is built around what New Trier and New Trier High School students actually face — the AP calendar, FCIAC sports, and a college bar where 1500+ is the real target.
We Teach — Not Just Review
Every session builds genuine understanding of the Digital SAT’s adaptive structure — not passive content review. We deconstruct exactly what each question demands and how to answer efficiently, including Module 1 strategy that most programs miss entirely.
Personalized From the First Session
Every Glencoe student starts with a full diagnostic Digital SAT in Bluebook — the same software used on test day at New Trier. We identify exactly where points are being lost and build a program around those specific gaps, not a generic national curriculum.
Test Prep + Admissions Advising, Bundled
ConnectPrep bundles college admissions strategy with SAT prep — your score goal is calibrated to your target schools from day one. Families who need both services often find our integrated program costs less than booking a tutor and an independent counselor separately.

— SCORE CONTEXT
What SAT Score Do Glencoe Students Actually Need?
The New Trier Class of 2025 mean SAT was 1239. Greens Farms Academy reports an average of 1400. For students targeting Ivy and peer-tier programs — the schools most Glencoe families are aiming at — the competitive threshold is 1500 or above.
That gap between the New Trier mean and a competitive application score sits squarely in the 100–500 point improvement range ConnectPrep targets. Every program starts with understanding where your student sits today and what score they need for their specific college list.
| SCORE | CONTEXT | TARGET SCHOOLS |
|---|---|---|
| 1500+ | 99th percentile range | Ivy / peer tier |
| 1400–1499 | New Trier High School mean / strong | Top-25 universities |
| 1300–1399 | Above New Trier mean | Top-50 universities |
| 1239 | New Trier Class 2025 mean | Broad match range |
500 POINTS · 99TH PERCENTILE

— WHEN TO START
The Three Windows for Glencoe Students
The Glencoe school calendar adds real pressure points. AP exams in May, FCIAC fall sports, and the March SAT all compress prep windows in ways a national calendar ignores.
Strongest setup. Most runway.
Builds to the March SAT junior year with full time to adjust. Accommodates AP and sports calendar. Students enter junior year with a baseline score to build from.
Three uninterrupted months into August or October test date.
The most common ConnectPrep entry point. Focused summer prep with enough runway for the fall test cycle.
Compressed but achievable.
Less margin for an adverse test day. December SAT is the final realistic window for most juniors applying early action.
