Since PREPARE began classes for the PSAT and SAT in the summer of 2004, our students have achieved outstanding results. Here’s what our customers are saying about us:

“I cannot say enough about the Prepare SAT class. I know this class has had a huge impact on my life. Through this class I was not only able to get into the college I wanted but they offered me a great scholarship for all four years. The class was able to increase my math and English scores by over 250 points. My Writing grade also increased by 200 points. To tell you the truth my parents forced me to take this class and for once they were right. The teachers fully understand the SAT. Not only did they understand how to take the test but they also knew how to teach it. They were engaging and the class never seemed boring.
I am now in college and owe a great debt of gratitude to Prepare. Honestly the techniques they teach are not only good for the SAT but for college writing also. I recommend this to everyone who is thinking about going to college."

“PREPARE gives students the edge they need to succeed on the SAT. The course significantly boosted my test scores by nearly 200 points. Honestly, this is one of the only classes that I did not want to miss. The teacher is dedicated, down to earth, and one of the most amusing teachers you could ever have. I suggest this course if you want to do well on the SATs because this course's guarantee of boosting your score is full-proof.”

“John's score improved tremendously, which gave him the confidence to apply to the most selective schools in the country. The instructor's personal attention and enthusiastic attitude made the course enjoyable and the outcome was well worth the price of the course."

“I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your class and I feel I got a lot out of it. As I was taking the SAT today I found myself approaching it very differently than my friends around me. I heard people talking about various questions that were hard or tricky in math and reading. Every time I heard that, I remembered taking that specific section and all I thought was "this is a plug-in" or "they put this choice in to trick me". One of the greatest things I got out of your class was confidence that I would do well on the SAT. Without that I probably would have been overanxious and extremely nervous. As it was, I just thought of it being 'another practice test.'"

“I was very pleased with my preparedness for the SATs and saw an increase of 260 points after my second test. Mr. Schmidt was kind enough to allow me to take a practice test to help prepare for my October test even though I was signed up for the class. Ultimately, that practice test prepared me for my most successful SAT test."

“I have recommended Prepare for the SAT to many parents. My daughter found the course both entertaining and fulfilling. Peter Schmidt's follow up and sincere interest in students and the development of their skills makes this a "must-do" for college bound students and a superb value for their parents.”

“Taking the PREPARE prep course really produced results in my son's overall SAT scores. He increased 240 points overall while enjoying the low key, easy-to-learn atmosphere. I would highly recommend this course to any student who is college bound”

“The essay was great. I wasn't nervous at all and I had time to complete everything, and then check my work. The class was awesome...you prepared me for everything. I am gonna miss you guys. Thanks for everything.”

"PREPARE was the best investment I could have made for my future. I was shown techniques to drastically strengthen my skills in math, reading comprehension and writing. Most importantly, PREPARE's instructors gave me a deep understanding of the SATs, which gave me an invaluable advantage. Your class has really opened a lot of doors for me. Because I increased my SAT scores almost 500 points, I was granted a pretty substantial merit scholarship for my 'number one' school—that I would have not been able to afford otherwise.”

“I am thankful that I took your course. I genuinely felt like you tried hard to make everyone improve and understand and I really appreciated that. You somehow made class fun, especially when you would get off topic, or bring us food, lol! In closing, I just wanted you to know that I am happy with my score, and I can finally put the SATs behind me. Once again, thanks for all your help.”

“I was under the impression that the average increase after taking an SAT prep course was about 100 points. Obviously, my daughters exceeded that average, no doubt to the credit of you and your instructors at PREPARE. I would highly recommend PREPARE’s SAT course to anyone. It is an excellent value for the money."

“We were pleased with the opportunity for George to not only go for a review the day before he retook the SAT, but the open invitation to sit in on additional classes once his classes ended. George said taking the class taught him valuable techniques as well as gave him more confidence in retaking the SAT. It was definitely a worthwhile investment. You can expect to see my ninth grader within the next two years. We appreciate your professionalism and pushing George to do better."

“ After receiving a score that did not reflect my high school grades or ability, I decided to take the classes to improve. The skills, tricks, and instructions that were taught allowed me to work on my weaknesses and eventually increase my score by over 400 points."

“I am very pleased with my decision to take the class and with the outcome of my scores. [a 210-point improvement] I enjoyed having an instructor who was enthusiastic and made the class interesting.”

“As a parent, I was very pleased with the class and Marc's reaction. Marc wasn't thrilled when we signed up, but he came away with a very positive attitude."

“I loved this class! It helped me learn how to take the test. It gave me an easier way to look at the questions and I felt more confident in taking the test. I used all of the techniques you showed us in class on the test in October. Overall I rate this class a 10!"
