Cohort questions.

What's the format, and what does it cost?

28 hours of live online PSAT classes, two sessions a week, in a small cohort. $1,299 all-inclusive. Recordings of every session land in the portal within 30 minutes.

What grades is the cohort for?

Grades 8 through 11 — from PSAT 8/9 (8th–9th) through the PSAT/NMSQT in 11th. Younger students are very welcome: a strong PSAT 8/9 score can qualify them for talent-search programs like Johns Hopkins CTY, and starting early builds the foundation and head start on the Digital SAT.

Does the cohort also help with the SAT?

Substantially. The Digital PSAT shares its adaptive engine and content frame with the Digital SAT, so every hour also builds SAT muscle — and the cohort feeds directly into our SAT track.

How is it different from PSAT 1-on-1?

Same 28 hours of live instruction, twice a week — but in a small group at $1,299 instead of a dedicated 1-on-1 tutor at $1,699. The 1-on-1 track is the call for students who want fully personalized pacing (e.g. chasing top-of-state Merit cutoffs).
