One Proven Method.
Olivia Bang founded Gangnam Prep after training at Seoul's most elite test prep academies — Hackers and Ivy Plan — and earning her degree from Johns Hopkins University.
Her Logic-First Framework isn't a collection of tips. It's a complete system for how to think about the Digital SAT — built over 17 years of one-on-one instruction with students across Diamond Bar, Walnut, Brea, and Fullerton.
Chain. A Specialist.
Gangnam Prep was built on one insight: the SAT is not a knowledge test — it's a logic exam with a very specific structure. Once students understand that, everything changes.
Logic-First Framework™
Every question has a logical core. We train students to isolate it — replacing guessing with principled reasoning that holds up on every test date.
3-Round Scan & Strike™
A structured, proprietary pacing method that supports time management and helps students prioritize questions — built for students with demanding AP and extracurricular schedules.
17 Years. Johns Hopkins. Korea's Elite Academies.
Founder Olivia Bang trained at Hackers and Ivy Plan in Seoul and now teaches local and online students through Gangnam Prep.
to Score 1500+
A complete Digital SAT prep ecosystem — from diagnostic to test day — built around your student's specific gaps and goals.
Full Diagnostic Assessment
We begin every engagement with a complete Bluebook-style adaptive test. Every error is mapped by question type, skill domain, and timing pattern before we build your plan.
Personalized Study Plan
No two students get the same plan. Your diagnostic data, your test dates, and your target college benchmarks all shape a precision roadmap with measurable milestones.
Logic-First Instruction
Our flagship framework teaches students to decode the underlying logic of every question type in Reading & Writing and Math — eliminating guessing at its root.
Pacing & Timing Mastery
The 3-Round Scan & Strike method turns pacing from a weakness into a weapon — structuring each module for maximum point capture without sacrificing accuracy.
Bluebook Adaptive Mocks
Full-length adaptive practice tests that mirror the real Digital SAT experience — including the two-module structure, timing, and Desmos calculator access.
Progress Tracking & Debriefs
Every mock test is followed by a structured debrief. Students learn exactly why they missed each question — and how to apply the correction pattern on future tests.
Not a Generic Curriculum.
Diagnostic Assessment
Full Digital SAT simulation under timed conditions. Every result is analyzed before a single lesson begins.
Identify the Logic Pattern
Using the Logic-First Framework, students learn what each question type is actually testing — so they can apply one reliable approach across all variants.
Targeted Skill Drilling
We attack the specific domains driving score loss — grammar, rhetoric, data analysis, advanced math — with focused Bluebook-aligned practice.
Adaptive Mock Testing
Timed full-length mocks followed by Scan & Strike debriefs. Every correction gets locked in before the next session.
Logic-First Framework™
Every SAT question has a logical core. We train students to isolate it — stripping away complexity and answering from principle, not pattern-matching.
3-Round Scan & Strike™
A systematic timed approach to each module: confident questions first, medium questions next, hardest questions last. Practice timing decisions under realistic conditions.
Bluebook Adaptive Strategy
Understanding the two-module adaptive structure and performing in Module 1 to unlock the high-score Module 2 pathway is a core competitive advantage.
