Why Your Score Booster
PointsBooster Analysis
Based on an analysis of every question on an SAT or ACT exam, Your Score Booster’s PointsBooster® reports let students know exactly where they can gain the most points. The reports include:
- Your score on each section
- Your total score
- Whether you got a question right or wrong, or whether you omitted it
- What topics you know well and what topics you need to study more. The reports are very specific about listing these topics, identifying, for example, triangles, complex numbers, run-on sentences, diction, idioms, or reading question types such as main idea, author’s intention or inference questions.
Here are samples PointsBooster® reports:
PointsBooster® Analysis Report
Our detailed score report shows you at a glance how you performed on each section. For this students score report (before any tutoring), we can see he struggled on reading and likely ran out of time.
We’ve analyzed every question on the test. So you get further detail on subsequent pages (below) about how you performed on each question type.
Reading and Writing
Our reports identify how you did on each question type:
- Purpose-Function of Text
- Sentence Purpose
- Cross Text Connectors
- Compare Contrast
- Vocabulary in Context
- Quantitative Evidence
- Revise a sentence
- Relevance Issue
- … and more
Don’t worry. If these question types don’t sound familiar, we’ll teach you how to recognize the question type and how to answer it.
For each question type, we can then review the question you got wrong (identified in red circle).
Because we help students obtain scores in the 99th percentile, we even focus on question types that have just one wrong answer.

Even if you excel in math, the exams can have tricky questions. And to obtain the 99th percentile, there’s little room for error. That’s why we target the specific areas in which you need help.
