“Outstanding course overall. It was very informative, well-explained, and engaging.”
“The instructor was very good. (I don’t remember his name, but I believe it started with a J.) He kept a good pace and made it interactive and fun. I have taken SAT prep classes in the past and there is no doubt that this was the best one. The pace and level of detail he went into was tremendous. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone.”
“The teacher was very engaging—I learned so much today. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Great tips on avoiding incorrect answers!”
“The instructor was very interesting and easy to listen to. He made the SAT seem less daunting and more doable.”
“I appreciated the instructor saying good job to specific people during the Boot Camp. It made the course feel more personal. Also, although SAT prep is obviously boring, and I would rather be watching football, the instructor kept the course interesting, keeping me engaged and helping me learn throughout the entire class.”
“This was so convenient and helpful. Thank you so much for providing really good examples.”
“Had a great time!”
“Thank you! I really think this will help me on the SATs!”
“The math part was really helpful for me. I understand the test a lot better than before.”
“Very helpful and engaging. I like how you answered students’ specific questions.”
“It was a great experience. Thank you very much!”
“The instructor was pretty cool.”
“This was my first SAT prep course so I don’t have much else to compare it to, but it was a great experience and I feel a lot more prepared now. The instructor was interesting so that was nice—it made the course less boring (not that it was boring, I just don’t want to use the word interesting again because that’s repetitive). Thank you for the tips and tricks. And to whoever is reading these survey responses, I hope you have a nice day. :-)”
“I really enjoyed the course and definitely know it’ll help me get a higher score on the SAT.”
“Thank you very much, I feel a lot more confident and have learned more tricks to help me on the test.”
“I just want to let you know how honored I am to have gotten the chance to work with you. You have been such an incredible guide and mentor throughout this whole process, and I am forever grateful.”
“I’ve taken like 10 million SAT prep courses but yours was actually great.”
“We chose your program based on the recommendation of my son’s college counselor, and I’m very pleased with the progress he’s making. The one-on-one tutoring is helping him build skills naturally, over time, without having to sacrifice his school work or his commitment to soccer. Thank you for being dedicated, flexible, and supportive.”
“I chose your program for my daughters because I wanted a program that was comprehensive and results-oriented without being… how shall I say this… boring! I love that you use humor to keep students engaged and that you break down strategies into easy-to-remember steps.”
“We are a highly academic school, where students feel tremendous pressure to achieve. Your boot camps help our students earn great scores without adding any more stress to their lives, which is amazing.”
“Thank you for motivating my son to do his best and helping my daughter gain admission into DUKE’s TIPS program.”
“So many scores up, so many happy students and parents. Thank you!”
“My son tuned into your class KICKING AND SCREAMING. At the end of the first session, he begrudgingly told me that it was a good course and that he had a surprisingly good time. Kudos to whoever the teacher was. He said he was informative and funny and that he made hard concepts easy to understand. Thank you!”
“I’m really enjoying your classes and find that they are already so helpful, even though we have only had a few so far! They are somehow making this whole process less stressful and even fun, which I didn’t think was possible! Thank you again so much for doing your best to accommodate me, and for being a wonderful teacher!”
“Super helpful. This course was just awesome. The instructor was funny and kept everything interesting. He clearly knows what he is talking about, and produces helpful tips and strategies for students. Interaction with students was great, and I felt acknowledged and heard.”
“I really enjoyed this experience (surprisingly) and learned a lot. I’m also very appreciative of all the extra resources you guys provide after each lesson. It proves you guys actually care about the students and want to help us succeed rather than doing these courses just for the money. :)”
“I appreciate how all of my questions were very thoroughly answered.”
“The instructor was very good (I don’t remember his name but I believe it started with a ‘J’). He kept a good pace, as well as made it interactive and fun. The time flew by. I strongly recommend this instructor to anyone who is interested in this course.”
“Occasionally, for a few of the easier questions, the explanation was slightly excessive. Otherwise, it was entertaining and time passed by quite quickly. I am definitely confident in the usefulness of these tips and look forward to applying them and raising my score.”
“This was amazing, really helpful and eased some stress.”
“I like how it was very interactive and that many of the examples and tricks were easy to grasp. I took a different prep course, and it wasn’t nearly as informative or understandable. I actually feel more prepared now. Thank you!!”
“I had a great time taking this lesson today. I felt that it was very helpful, and I learned a lot of new things, especially with the instructor being very familiar with the structure of the SAT. I am excited for the lessons in the next few weeks. Thank you very much!”
“Today was very engaging–I learned a lot! The teacher was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!”
“The instructor was super encouraging and entertaining and did a great job of relating to us and allowing us to give feedback. Overall, really loved him!”
“This course has made me so much more confident. I found the lessons on SAT Reading to be really helpful when it comes to staying focused on the main ideas of the passages.”
“Ummm, YES, you have my and my Mom’s permission to use my name! I got a 1600 because of you!!”
“I thought that the instructor was very interesting and easy to listen to. We went over a lot of information but he made the SAT seem less daunting and more doable.”
“I appreciated the instructor saying good job to specific people throughout the course. It made the instructor seem more personal and not just someone talking over the web.”
“Overall, a lot less boring than other SAT prep. Good pop culture and current-day references.”
“This was so convenient and helpful! Thank you so much for providing really good examples.”
“You seem like a cool dude. You know your stuff. Thanks for teaching.”
“I learned a lot of stuff that I feel would be very beneficial on the SAT and ACT. Thank you!”
“The instructor was very knowledgeable and kept it interesting. The pacing was really good, too, and there was ample time for answering each question.”
“Very engaging and interesting. I wasn’t bored for a second.”
“I really appreciated the speaker’s humor. It made everything much more interesting and memorable. Furthermore, the quotes added a more personal and understandable perspective on the points being made. I had a lot of resources previous to this, but nothing nearly as helpful.”
“The course was very beneficial. I learned great strategies that I hope to review at least weekly as I get ready for the exam. Thanks for keeping it interesting and interactive – our classes were actually fun. Also, I felt like I could ask questions without fear. I will share this experience with my friends who are thinking about taking the SAT. Thank you for taking the time to help others raise their test scores.”
“Great tips on how to avoid incorrect answers!”
“I found your course very helpful for learning how to avoid ‘decoy’ answers. Thank you!”
“I am the grandparent of a student that took the study program at my house. (I connected through his mother’s email link.) I listened. I will recommend for sure.”
“This was my first SAT prep course so I don’t have much else to compare it to but it was a good experience and I feel a lot more prepared now. The instructor was interesting so that was nice, it made the webinar less boring (not that it was boring, I just don’t want to use interesting again because that’s repetitive). Overall, it was really good. Thank you for the tips and tricks.”
“The course was interesting and opened my mind to other ways of thinking about the reading passages and questions. Really helpful.”
“Kept me interested with so many great examples. Thank you!”
“I liked the student-teacher interaction, well-timed breaks, and injection of comedy into the coursework.”
“I really thought that the outside examples aided me in understanding the concepts he was trying to explain. I would certainly recommend this to anyone planning on taking the SAT.”
“I can’t praise the instructor enough. Helpful and energetic with a passion for his work. Just an overall huge help.”
“Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful and informative.”
“SUPER GREAT and INTERACTIVE.”
“I really liked the teacher and how he was authentic and relatable and included sample questions and excerpts. I really do feel much more confident.”
“790 in Reading and Writing on the May SAT! Thank you!
“Thank you for helping me earn a 1550 on the SAT! I was a bit nervous the day of, but as I was going through the test, I felt very prepared. The course taught me how to read and analyze passages as well as the questions, which really helped me narrow down the choices and choose the correct answer each time.”
“I was able to raise my SAT score from a 1370 to a 1540. That’s a 170-point increase, something that may seem daunting but becomes easier with great guidance.”
“Up from 620 to 760—thank you, this course was amazing!”
“Before, I could never figure out how to tell right answers from the wrong ones. I could usually get Reading question down to two choices, but then I would sit there, unsure which one to pick. I used to lose so much time in SAT Reading, going back-and-forth between answer choices. Now I know how to spot when an answer seems to be right but is really a ‘trap.’ Thank you. I feel much more confident for October.”
“800!!!!!!!!”
“ACT Science was so hard for me before the class. I used to run out of time from spending so much time trying to figure out the confusing tables and charts. Now I know how to break down all the info and what the questions are really asking. Also, I liked how you explained how to do the 10 hardest math problems. I’m not nervous about the test any more.”
“Andrew spent last summer taking an ACT course and said he learned a thousand times more in one weekend with you than in two months of that course. I was worried he wouldn’t be able to focus for an online class, but he never complained and even laughed a few times. Kudos to whoever the teacher was. You kept him fully engaged.”
“I got a 33 in Math and a 35 in Reading. Thank you!”
“I feel like I finally understand math for the first time in my life. Thank you for being so patient with me and for the extra advice on Friday. I was still kind of nervous when I took the test, but I used all of the strategies we went over, and I didn’t feel like anything was a surprise. I actually finished the no-calculator section a few minutes early, which is amazing considering I used to run out of time. Thank you so much again. I’m really proud of my 690, especially considering I got a 550 the first time.”
“It seems so easy now – I can’t believe I used to get confused by these questions. You guys did an awesome job explaining everything, especially word problems and trig. And it wasn’t boring!”
“I got a 750!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
We realize that many students and parents are unsure whom to trust when it comes to SAT preparation. A local tutor? A big national company? Maybe just an online program and a book of practice tests? How do you know whom to trust when everyone claims to be the best?
At The Playbook, we don’t believe we have some special patent on SAT prep. There are many reputable providers out there, as there are in every field. Ultimately, we believe there are four important factors that determine whether students do well. To us, the four factors that determine whether a student will maximize his or her potential are:
To us, everything beyond these four factors is simply marketing and irrelevant to a student’s success.
Perhaps the best assurance we can provide you is that we work mainly through word-of-mouth. We’re a national company, with resources of a major prep firm, but we don’t treat students as numbers or attract students with pay-per-click Google ads. Students turn to us because of our track record and positive word-of-mouth.
We calculate score improvement data based on students’ starting scores from official exams (shared with us) and students’ official SAT scores after they have completed our 16-Hour SAT Prep Course (also shared with us). We then segment that data according to starting score ranges, because a student starting at, say, a 1450 can’t improve more than 150 points.
Students whose starting scores range from 1000 to 1150, inclusive, improve an average of 270 points.
Students whose starting scores range from 1160 to 1300, inclusive, improve an average of 200 points.
Students whose starting scores range from 1310 to 1450, inclusive, improve an average of 140 points.
And students whose starting scores range from 1450 to 1500, inclusive, improve an average of 90 points.
Yes, although private instruction is by no means necessary, many students do supplement this program with one-on-one tutoring. Please contact us if you are interested in discussing private tutoring options in addition to this course.
