Cognitive Tests
Before tutoring, we start an online cognitive assessment that measures the skills students need to succeed on the SAT.
Developed by neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania, this one-hour online cognitive test measures complex reasoning, executive functions, memory, & processing efficiency.
PointsBooster® Analysis
Next you take a Bluebook demo test and we will produce a PointsBooster® Analysis on it.
Get detailed feedback pinpointing areas needing focus, so you know where to improve for the real exam, allowing us to be laser focused not just to your learning style but also to where we can help you the most.
With both tests complete we can give you a recommendation on a Custom Tutoring Package to reach your goals.

From Students and Parents
Here are some quotes from e-mails from Your Score Booster alumni and their parents
I remember when Holden first came to YSB, he only scored 26 on the ACT test. With the help of your YSB for over a year, Holden scored a perfect 36 on the ACT. Choosing your YSB to study for the ACT and SAT is one of the best things parents can do for their children.

With your grand bank of tests, materials and online tutorials, I could practice on my own. This gave me a lot of flexibility to plan and control my schedule when school work got heavy. Your Score Booster ultimately lessened my stress from school while I prepared for the ACT.

It was most definitely worthwhile for us to travel from Calgary to Vancouver to work with Your Score Booster. My daughter went in believing she would do well, and the results were phenomenal!!!

Compared to the two fairly well-known places I went to before, Your Score Booster definitely helped me the most and took the least time, too..

Your Score Booster really helped Richard iron down the techniques for SAT essay writing, such as budgeting his time, and developing a strong thesis. He was able to not only complete his writing within the given time in the actual exam but also achieved a score that we are very satisfied with.
Wendy Kang
I feel quite relaxed about the college application process because I am very much ‘in the range’ for all of the schools that I am applying to.

“I worked with Richard throughout the summer before Grade 12. He boosted my SAT score by 220 and helped me through all needed content. What sets him apart from other tutors is his ability to connect with students and get to know them on a personal level. What I was most impressed with, besides his character and knowledge, was the online program they use for homework. Its ability to be adapted to students was a great help for me when doing homework and prep for my sessions with Richard. I almost never write Google Reviews, but I had to for Richard. I highly recommend him for any students!”
Kaesar Grewal
Your Score Booster came highly recommended to our daughter from her friend who had been accepted to Harvard. Your Score Booster was able to help enormously with teaching our daughter the methodologies and the work effort needed to be her best on testing day. Our daughter received an early acceptance to Stanford University, which was no doubt assisted by her SAT result.

Your Score Booster was excellent preparation for the SAT but more importantly instilled confidence in Julia. YSB also kindled a love of reading for pleasure in her.

Your Score Booster helped me excel because it targeted the types of questions I struggled with and made me more confident in approaching the test. It is definitely worth it.

For those who aren’t naturally gifted at taking standardized tests, Richard Dalton does a great job of assessing each student’s strengths and needs to increase confidence and ultimately test scores. The level of care that he puts into each student is unparalleled and the results show it. I highly recommend Your Score Booster whether you’re new to these tests or simply want to further boost your scores.
Harrison Xu
USC student, former Saints student
I was struggling with the critical reading and writing portions of the exam since English wasn’t my first language. Through Richard’s individualized coaching, I gained a comprehensive knowledge of the exam…. I don’t think I would be where I am today without Richard.
Benedict Leung
St. George's School, Duke University
We had left it rather late, but Richard Dalton was able to focus our son on what he needed to do to improve his writing score. In just two sessions he improved his score by 130 points — definitely worth it.
