Nguyen Sieu School, a prestigious private bilingual institution, has recently partnered with HeyHi to transform SAT test preparation programmes for Grade 10 to 12 students in order to build a high-quality, data-driven question bank that empowers teachers and learners to engage in a deeper and more reflective way.
To be more specific, this partnership demonstrates how AI-enabled assessment tools can support rigorous academic goals while enhancing teaching efficiency and student learning outcomes in a bilingual, globally oriented school environment.
Nguyen Sieu School – A Prestigious Private Bilingual Institution
Founded in 1991, Nguyen Sieu School has grown from a modest beginning of five classes and 132 students into one of Vietnam’s most established private bilingual schools. The school is widely recognised for its academic standards, international accreditations, and commitment to holistic education.
Nguyen Sieu School’s vision is to become the premier bilingual school in Vietnam, offering world-class education while upholding traditional Vietnamese values. This philosophy is reflected in its rigorous academic curriculum, its strong emphasis on bilingual and multicultural learning, and its long-standing partnerships with international institutions and assessment bodies, including Cambridge Assessment International Education.
As the school continues to prepare students for international pathways, standardised assessments such as the SAT have become an increasingly important component of its high school academic offering.
Several Challenges in SAT Preparation of Nguyen Sieu School
Before adopting HeyHi, Nguyen Sieu School faced several interconnected challenges.
First, while the school possessed a strong foundation of SAT expertise and teaching experience, developing and maintaining a comprehensive SAT question bank demanded significant time and effort from educators. Ensuring consistent quality, appropriate difficulty distribution, and balanced topic coverage across Reading and Writing skills required a more systematic approach.
Second, teachers needed greater flexibility in assembling practice materials. SAT preparation often involves targeted drilling, focusing on specific skill domains or levels of difficulty, yet manually curating worksheets for different cohorts and year groups was time-consuming and difficult to scale.
Finally, student engagement and feedback posed an ongoing concern. Traditional SAT practice materials tend to be static, offering limited opportunities for annotation, dialogue, or personalised adaptive feedback. Nguyen Sieu School sought a way to make practice more interactive, reflective, and data-informed, without increasing teacher workload.
To address these challenges, the school required a platform that respected teacher expertise, aligned with SAT assessment structures, and introduced intelligent automation where it added genuine pedagogical value.
The Partnership Between Nguyen Sieu School and HeyHi
Nguyen Sieu School’s partnership with HeyHi began with a clear pedagogical foundation. The school contributed its own SAT test materials and subject expertise, ensuring that all content reflected its academic standards and teaching philosophy. HeyHi’s AI Question Generator was then used to systematically expand and refine this content, supporting, rather than replacing, professional judgment. The result was a robust SAT question bank designed for both rigour and scalability.
Through this process, Nguyen Sieu School developed a well-balanced question repository distributed across difficulty levels, approximately 20 per cent easy and 80 per cent medium to hard, closely mirroring the cognitive demands of the SAT. To translate this question bank into everyday classroom practice, the Worksheet Generator became a critical instructional tool.
Teachers can quickly generate targeted practice sets based on topic, difficulty level, and internal categorisation more efficiently, allowing educators to respond more dynamically to student needs while retaining full autonomy over instructional decisions.
Beyond efficiency, the platform also reshaped how students engage with SAT practice. Annotation tools enable learners to highlight, comment, and reflect directly on questions, while teachers can view and respond to these annotations to provide contextual feedback. Supported by analytics and performance reports, educators gain deeper insight into learning patterns and areas for improvement. Together, these capabilities have created a more interactive, reflective, and data-informed SAT preparation experience, aligned with Nguyen Sieu School’s commitment to developing confident, independent, and globally ready learners.
