SAT tutoring in NYC · Astoria, Queens
Small-group, in-person Digital SAT prep in Astoria for high school students across Queens and NYC. Maximum 12 students per class.
Math and Reading & Writing instruction built from a free diagnostic, with Bluebook practice, Desmos strategies, and timed adaptive-module drills.
Digital SAT overview
Students take the Digital SAT on a laptop or tablet in the College Board's Bluebook app. Both sections adapt by module: how a student performs on the first module determines the difficulty of the second.
Because the second module depends on the first, small accuracy gains early in each section matter. A timed diagnostic shows which skills and question types hold a score back, so class time focuses on the changes most likely to raise it.
Classes are led by founder Tariq Ahmed, an NYC DOE educator with 12+ years of teaching and test-prep experience, in groups of 12 or fewer.
Digital SAT students must bring their own laptop to every class. AhmedPrep does not supply devices.
Digital SAT curriculum
Inside every three-hour class
Each three-hour class covers both sections of the test and ends with cumulative review.
Instruction and timed practice, including Desmos strategies where they help.
Skill-by-skill instruction across all four Reading and Writing domains.
Mixed review of earlier skills and analysis of missed questions.
Our teaching approach
A timed diagnostic sets a baseline for each section, broken down by skill area and question type.
Students practice in the College Board's Bluebook app so the interface and tools feel familiar on test day.
Module-length timed sets build pacing and first-module accuracy, which shapes the second module.
Students learn when the built-in Desmos graphing calculator is faster and when to solve by hand.
Targeted homework and recurring mixed review keep earlier skills from slipping.
Full-length practice tests track section scores, and parents receive regular progress updates.

Questions from parents
The Digital SAT has two sections, Reading and Writing (54 questions, 64 minutes) and Math (44 questions, 70 minutes), each split into two modules. Total testing time is about 2 hours and 14 minutes, with a 10-minute break between sections.
Each section is adaptive by module. Performance on the first module determines whether the second module is easier or harder, which affects the score range a student can reach. That is why first-module accuracy matters.
Yes. A calculator is allowed on the entire Math section, and the Bluebook app includes a built-in Desmos graphing calculator. We teach students when Desmos saves time and when solving by hand is faster.
Yes. Digital SAT students must bring their own laptop to every class so they can practice in Bluebook. AhmedPrep does not supply devices.
Every class includes 75 minutes of Math, 75 minutes of Reading and Writing, and 30 minutes of cumulative review.
Every Digital SAT cohort has a maximum of 12 students.
