Digital SAT,
drilled to 1500+.
Full preparation for the new Digital SAT. Adaptive diagnostic, section-specific coaching, timed practice tests and test-day strategy — all designed to push your child firmly past the 1500 threshold that US admissions committees quietly expect.
The Digital SAT is the shorter, adaptive version of the test used for US college admissions. Two modules each in Reading & Writing and Maths — with Module 2 adapting to your child's Module 1 performance.
A new adaptive format — but the same admissions-office standard.
The IGCSE — International General Certificate of Secondary Education — is a globally recognised qualification typically taken between ages 14 and 16. It is designed, examined and awarded by the University of Cambridge (and also offered by Edexcel/Pearson), and it is the single most important credential your child will earn before A-Level, IB Diploma or university admissions.
In Vietnam, IGCSE is offered at virtually every international school — BIS, BVIS, ISHCMC, SSIS, EIS, TAS and many others. But international school classrooms are built for the average of 20 students, not for your child. Times Edu is where students come to close gaps, push past plateaus and turn predicted B grades into final A*s.
Why IGCSE matters
Strong IGCSE results directly determine your child's A-Level or IB subject choices, influence university offers (many UK universities include IGCSE grades in their conditional offers), and build the academic foundation that determines every step afterwards. A single C grade in IGCSE Maths can quietly close doors that should have stayed open.
How Times Edu is different
We assign one dedicated mentor per student — usually a CIE-registered examiner or a specialist with a 10+ year track record teaching the exact syllabus your child is sitting. No rotating tutors. No generic worksheets. Every lesson is built around your child's most recent mock paper.
Two sections. Four modules. One precise plan.
The Digital SAT is not just about content — it is about pacing, adaptive strategy and test-day composure. We drill all three.

Algebra
Linear equations, functions and systems.
Advanced Maths
Quadratics, exponentials and non-linear functions.

Geometry & Trig
Area, volume, right triangles and circles.
Adaptive pacing
How to pace yourself when Module 2 difficulty is unknown.
Bluebook app

Practice Tests
Six full-length tests on the real Bluebook app with examiner-style debriefs and score prediction. The closest thing to the real exam.
Eight to twelve weeks. One target.
Most students need 8–12 weeks of focused preparation to reach a 1500+ score from a 1300–1400 baseline. Here is what that timeline looks like.
Diagnostic
Full-length adaptive diagnostic test on Bluebook and a section-by-section breakdown.
Content repair
Targeted teaching on every weak topic identified by the diagnostic.
Timed drills
Module-specific timed drills and two full practice tests under real conditions.
Test-day peak
Final mocks, adaptive strategy review and test-day logistics.
Four principles that define every Times Edu lesson.
Our coaching philosophy has been shaped by seven years of teaching IGCSE students inside international schools across Vietnam.
Syllabus-first
Every lesson maps directly to a numbered learning objective in the official Cambridge or Edexcel syllabus.
Past-paper driven
We do not teach from textbooks alone. Real past papers from the last 8 years anchor every session.
Examiner feedback
Every homework is marked against the real mark scheme — with examiner commentary your child can actually use.
Parent visibility
Monthly progress reports, grade predictions and a dedicated WhatsApp channel with your child's mentor.
What our IGCSE students actually achieve.
I walked in with a 1340 diagnostic and walked out with a 1540. Times Edu's adaptive pacing drills alone added 80 points to my Maths.
My daughter got a 1520 and an offer from NYU Stern. The SAT was the single biggest lever in her application — and Times Edu knew exactly how to pull it.
The Bluebook mock tests were identical to the real thing. On test day there were zero surprises. That preparation was everything.
Everything you want to ask before starting.

My child already scored a 1400. Is it worth trying to get to 1500?
Yes — especially if US is a target. The jump from 1400 to 1500+ is often the single highest-leverage thing an international applicant can do, and we have helped many students make exactly that jump in 8–10 weeks.
Do you prepare for the SAT on Bluebook, the real digital platform?
Yes. All our practice tests are delivered on the real College Board Bluebook app so your child walks into test day with zero surprises about the interface.
How does adaptive scoring work on the Digital SAT?
Each section has two modules. Module 1 is fixed-difficulty; Module 2 adapts (easier or harder) based on your Module 1 performance. A harder Module 2 is required to reach the highest score bands — which makes strong Module 1 performance critical. We drill this extensively.
How much does SAT coaching cost?
Our signature 1:1 SAT coaching starts from $70 per 90-minute session, with full prep packages typically running 16–24 sessions. Full details on our Tuition page.
Can you also help with the ACT?
We focus on the Digital SAT as the dominant test for Vietnamese students applying to US universities. For ACT-specific preparation, please ask us directly and we can advise on whether it is the right fit for your child.
How close to the test date should my child start preparing?
Ideally 10–14 weeks out. We can deliver compressed 6-week programmes for motivated students, but rushing the preparation generally costs 50–100 points at the end.
From 1340 to 1540 in twelve weeks.
