GBWaste of money Gave me way too much work over a short period of time so I got really burnt out and couldn't take practice tests at all. Doing practice in sections other than math really didnt help with time management, in fact probably made it worse. I did improve from my first practice test until my actual test, but i attribute none of that improvement to PrepScholar. The only thing it helped with was reviewing geometry equations.

GBMeh. Not impressed We tried PrepScholar with both of our kids. With my first, she said the program kept telling her that she needed to do practice tests. She kept taking practice tests.. and that was it. I asked for help from PrepScholar but only got an email saying that it's a great program, and she needs to keep working. She could work for hours and get no credit. It's easy to not pay a money-back guarantee when you control the conditions and can make fulfilling those conditions impossible. By studying free videos on the internet, she was able to get more help and improved her score by about 40 points. With my second, I'm more involved. I thought this would help me understand the program more as I'm walking through it with him. Maybe my first just.. didn't use the program properly. He hasn't been given any practice SATs yet, but he could spend an hour on a lesson and be given credit for 0.6 hours. At this point, we don't care about refunds, just help with the SAT please. Control over your learning and the settings is weird. I can't figure out how to change things like 'goal number of hours to study a week.' All in all, as an educator and a programmer, I'm not impressed. The price is too high for the level of instruction that I'm seeing. tldr; Meh. Try it if you want but know that you won't get your money back. If you throw $400 at it, spend it like you are lending it to that cousin you know will never pay you back.. just let it go.

GBGreat Guidance! My son worked on his essay with Claire Gerety-Mott. Claire guided him so well that he ended up writing an excellent essay, which we believe helped him get into 10 universities. We are very happy with PrepScholar and would highly recommend Claire!

FR1380 - 1500 When I started out, I was at a 1380, but through prepscholar I was able to bring that up to a 1500. However, I was doing better on practice tests, so I hope to improve even more when I resit in June. Prepscholar taught me things I never would've discovered on my own, and their practice material is rock solid. I think it's also a good way to prepare for the digital SAT alongside the on paper SAT, as their question style is one big passage to 1-2 questions.

GBExcellent Resource- 200 point improvement The SAT PrepScholar program did a great job preparing our son for the PSAT. It highlighted areas of weakness, taught how to identify the unique details of those questions, and gave many focused practice problems. PrepScholar helped improve his score 200 points from sophomore to junior year.
