A Clear, Proven Path to SAT Success
I’m Patrick Spano, a Yale-educated SAT specialist and former professional athlete. I help high school students across the U.S. earn 1500+ SAT scores so they can gain admission to their dream colleges and unlock thousands in scholarship opportunities — without falling behind in school, burning out, or feeling overwhelmed by test prep.
For parents of high school students preparing for the SAT.
The SAT Blueprint Method has been trusted by thousands of families nationwide for over 10 years.
Why SAT Prep Feels Overwhelming for Families
Preparing for the SAT can feel confusing — even for motivated, capable students.
Some students aren’t sure what to study.
Others study consistently but see little improvement.
Some struggle with timing or test-day pressure.
Others feel stretched trying to balance SAT prep with schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
As a parent, it’s hard to know if your teen:
Understands what the SAT is actually testing
Has access to the right study materials (i.e. practice tests, notes, formulas, etc.)
Knows how to prepare in an efficient manner without causing burnout
If you’re looking for clarity and direction for your teen, you’re not alone.
Most SAT shortcomings really aren’t about a lack of intelligence or effort.
They boil down to a lack of structure, strategy, and execution.
Why Most SAT Prep Misses the Mark
The SAT isn’t a test of intelligence.
It’s a test of how well students understand the exam itself.
Students improve fastest when they know:
how the SAT is structured
which concepts and question types are most commonly tested
how to manage time and anxiety effectively
Many students prepare by doing more practice problems or taking more tests — without ever learning how the SAT actually works or ever properly reviewing their mistakes.
I’ve spent years breaking down the SAT into clear, repeatable concepts that remove guesswork and give students a predictable, proven way to improve.
Those concepts are outlined in The SAT Blueprint Method™.

What is The SAT Blueprint Method™
The SAT Blueprint Method is a structured, step-by-step approach that turns confusion into confidence and preparation into performance. Here are the 3 pillars of the program:
ASSESS — Identify What’s Holding the Score Back
We begin by identifying the specific factors limiting your student’s SAT score.
This includes:
content gaps or forgotten formulas
inconsistent or ineffective strategies
timing and pacing issues
uncertainty under test conditions
Instead of guessing what to work on, students get a clear picture of where points are being lost and why.
ADDRESS — Fix Gaps With Proven Strategies
Once priorities are clear, we focus on teaching what the SAT actually rewards.
Students learn:
the core concepts and formulas the SAT emphasizes
proven strategies for common question types
how to recognize patterns and apply the right approach quickly
Everything is simplified and taught in order of priority— personalized for each student.
SUCCESS — Turn Practice Into Confident Execution
Finally, students build mastery through structured repetition and expert review.
This is where:
accuracy improves
timing speeds up
confidence increases
test day feels familiar, not overwhelming
Success comes from knowing what to expect — and having practiced how to handle it.
“The SAT Blueprint program was exactly what our teen needed. We went from unprepared and lacking confidence to a 1470 within 12 weeks. Thank you Patrick!”
— Parent of HS Junior
“Their unique approach is well-suited to both students at the top of their class, as well as to those who may be struggling. Since test prep is all they do, they are really on top of all the test changes and can really prep kids to boost scores.”
— Parent of HS Senior
How the SAT Blueprint Method™ Works
The SAT Blueprint Method™ is a 12-week program designed to provide structure, accountability, and expert insight.
Students follow a clear weekly plan that includes:
small-group instruction
focused skill-building
guided practice and review
ongoing feedback and support
The goal isn’t just a higher score — it’s a calm, confident approach to the SAT that carries into test day.
“Excellent test prep! We have seen a significant increase in scores. I highly recommend it. Not only is the student treated with respect and confidence, they are empowered. Thank you!'“

Why I Developed The SAT Blueprint Method™
I’m Patrick Spano— Founder and Creator of The SAT Blueprint Method. As a former Ivy League student and professional athlete (and perfect-scorer) I have made it my mission to help as many students follow a path similar to mine: achieve top test scores so they can get into their dream schools.
Over my 10+ years in SAT prep, I’ve encountered many families and students who did their best to prepare when SAT time rolled around — yet still felt stuck and unsure of what to focus on to improve scores.
What I saw wasn’t a lack of trying.
It was a lack of direction.
Students were studying hard without a clear understanding of what the SAT actually tests, which strategies mattered most, or how to apply them under time pressure. Parents were doing their best to support their teens, but often felt uncertain about whether the prep their teen was doing on their own was truly effective.
I built The SAT Blueprint™ to remove that uncertainty.
The Blueprint breaks the SAT into clear, repeatable patterns and teaches students not just what to know, but when and how to use it. With the right structure, preparation becomes more efficient, confidence improves, and progress feels inevitable instead of doubtful.
I only work with a small number of students at a given time so that families receive focused guidance, consistent support, and personalized attention.
What Is an SAT Strategy Session?
An SAT Strategy Session is a free 30-minute video-call designed to give you clarity about how the SAT works and how to best prepare for it. It is also a chance for me to get to know your teen better and assess if/how I can help them.
On this call, we will:
review your teen’s current SAT situation
identify the biggest obstacles to improvement
clarify realistic score goals and timelines
outline a focused plan moving forward
There’s no pressure and no obligation.
You’ll leave knowing exactly what your teen must do to get the score they need.
What Families First Notice When They Join SAT Blueprint
Once I start working with a new student, parents often tell me the biggest change they notice isn’t just their teen’s score — it’s their confidence, clarity, and mindset going into the SAT.
With a clear plan in place, students feel more in control and less overwhelmed as test day approaches.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for working with our daughter and helping her through this on such short notice. I really appreciate it […] and am grateful for what you did for her.”
