One way we learn is from our mistakes. After you take a test, your teacher returns it to you to show you the incorrect answers, and then they go over it with you. This is essential for learning how to improve. However, the SAT does not provide feedback unless you pay for this service. You have to order Question and Answer Service (QAS). You can do this when you register, or at any time within five months after the test date. Note that QAS reports take a while (6-8 weeks) to send, so you may not receive yours before the next SAT test date. You should order as early as possible. This service is invaluable to identifying problem areas. Our instructors can look at the QAS and very quickly diagnose what’s wrong – and find the prescription for fixing it. You, as the student, will have more time to practice on problem areas.
The QAS provides a copy of the SAT you took, including all test questions, your answers, the correct answers and the level of difficulty for each question. If you are taking the SAT multiple times, this affords you the opportunity to efficiently improve your scores. (Please note the QAS is only available for the indicated test dates)
Remember, when you sign up online, there is a difference between the QAS and the SAS. The SAS (Student Answer Service) does not provide the questions from the test, only the answers. This will not be as useful as the QAS. We highly recommend you spend the extra money and order the QAS, because it is the better choice to significantly boost your score.
