“790 in Reading and Writing on the May SAT! Thank you!

Aaradhya P.

West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South

Princeton Junction, NJ

“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.”

Justine Lao

The Mary Louis Academy

Jamaica Estates, NY

“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.”

Nicholas C.

Somers High School

Somers, NY

“Up from 620 to 760—thank you, this course was amazing!”

Jennie Park

Whitney Young Magnet High School

Chicago, IL

“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.”

Arushi Varadkar

J. P. Stevens High School

Edison, NJ

“800!!!!!!!!”

Michael Leung

Lowell High School

San Francisco, CA

“Thank you so much. I had no idea what to do for my Common App or supplements and kept writing drafts that I wasn’t happy with. You helped me understand what admissions officers look for when they read students’ personal statements and how I had a unique story to tell. I’m positive my essays helped me get into Brown, and I feel much more confident in my writing ability now than I did before. Thank you!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does your Boot Camp differ from other prep courses or classes?

We may lose our business license for admitting this, but we don’t believe we have a patent on SAT prep. We’re quite proud of our track record and approach, but as with all fields, there are several reputable programs and providers. That said, there are a few compelling reasons that make our SAT Boot Camp uniquely poised to help students succeed. First, we are the only prep company whose instructors take the actual SAT multiple times per year to deepen our expertise. In addition, we hire actual SAT writers—the people who write the verbal and math questions that appear on every test—to develop curriculum for us and share little-known exam secrets, including the way the SAT’s notorious trap answers are constructed. And finally: we’re not boring! We realize that most students would rather clean their room or watch C-SPAN than take an SAT prep course, so we strive to make our Boot Camp as engaging and entertaining as possible. Most students emerge from our course feeling pleasantly surprised. Check out our Nice Things Actual Teenagers Have Said About Us testimonials section to see how high school students feel about our program!

Can students ask questions and participate?

Absolutely! We strongly encourage participation and create a welcoming, supportive class environment from the outset. Students simply type their questions and send them to us via a chat box. All questions are private, so students can feel secure asking anything they would like without having to feel in any way self-conscious.

Do you teach content or strategies or both?

Both. For example, when we cover tricky SAT algebra problems, we make sure students understand the math concepts underlying those problems, and then we teach them shortcuts and strategies, including tips for avoiding sneaky trap answers.

Is the Boot Camp geared toward any particular type of student?

We have a wide range of students who participate in our SAT Boot Camp, from students looking for an on-ramp to the prep process to students looking for that final edge right before the big test.

What about scores—what's the average improvement for students who take your Boot Camp?

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 Boot Camp (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 240 points.

Students whose starting scores range from 1160 to 1300, inclusive, improve an average of 170 points.

Students whose starting scores range from 1310 to 1450, inclusive, improve an average of 130 points.

And students whose starting scores range from 1450 to 1550, inclusive, improve an average of 80 points.

Is your Boot Camp intended for sophomores, juniors, or seniors? Do any 9th graders take the course?

The majority of students who participate in our SAT Boot Camp intend to take the SAT or PSAT sometime within the next year, if not the next few months. Although the majority of our participants are in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, we do have a substantial number of 9th graders who participate, primarily students looking for an on-ramp to the overall test prep process and highly- academic students who will likely take the SAT well before junior year.

What are your instructors' qualifications?

We’re not a mill with hundreds of instructors of varying abilities and track records. We don’t charge a premium for gifted, experienced instructors because all of our instructors are subject matter experts with an abiding passion for teaching. The vast majority of our instructors have graduated from the sort of colleges people proudly post on the rear window of their cars: Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Stanford, Columbia, MIT—and many more. However—and this is a really important however—we don’t view sterling academic credentials as equivalent to teaching ability. We interview and decline to hire plenty of brilliant people who can’t seem to explain even the simplest of concepts. Therefore, the number one trait we seek in instructors is the ability to teach: that unique combination of communication skills, emotional intelligence, and empathy that separates mere tutors from teachers who inspire students to fulfill their potential.

What aspects of the SAT do you cover during the Boot Camp? Do you teach the whole test?

We cover every square inch of the SAT, from strategies for tackling lengthy, yawn-inducing reading passages to shortcuts for math problems that stump the vast majority of test-takers.

What if my student can only attend one day or has to miss a portion of the Boot Camp?

We don’t prorate the tuition for our Boot Camps. However, even if your student only attends one of the two days, he or she will still benefit, in large part because students can always access the live recordings of the entire course after the Boot Camp has ended.
