GBPrep scholar was a huge help for me Prep scholar was a huge help for me. I worked with Dominque and she was an incredible guide throughout the entire college process and keeping me on track to achieve my goals. Thanks to her I will be attending my top school!

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.

GBBetter results than other prep companies The format of the course was better suited for my student to learn how to approach the test, understand and apply the material, and get more test questions correct. My son scored 7 points higher on his ACT composite score than with other test prep that used video content and practice lessons that he reported were more tedious and less engaging for him. He put the time in, and got real results. We are happy we picked PrepScholar and would do it again in a heartbeat!

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.

GBMy Overall Success with the PrepScholar Program I have just received a 1510 on my SAT when my original goal was a 1500. Overall, the PrepScholar Program was very useful because of the text and video lessons, the quizzes, and the tutors. My tutor, Paul Dueck, helped me review my practice tests, taught me concepts I had trouble with, and gave me many other resources to help me succeed in my goals. This program was helpful for me and I couldn't be happier with my progress.
