The Ivy League's Best-Kept Secret

'Thanks a Million'
“I have been admitted to Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, UPenn, Duke, Vanderbilt, Emory, UNC-Chapel Hill & Carnegie Mellon, most with merit scholarships….”
—A.T. West, SAT Prep grad

Here’s Why: 2005 Results:

  • Our average gain=184! (Reading 71; Math 63; Writing 50)
  • Incoming average=1748
  • Average afterwards=1932
  • ’05 national average=1542
  • Our average grad’s edge=+390

Rest of our Case

  • We’re small, quiet, non-profit, since 1975.
  • Veteran teachers fan grit, confidence & mastery.
  • There’s only 1 test-taking trick. The rest? Sweat, work & drilling.
  • 4-hour SAT requires lots of physical-mental stamina. Whoever shows up with sloppy habits, poor test morale & dull fundamental skills will get clobbered.
  • We specialize in helping high-scoring boys get better, near equal scores in 3 areas for less time & money.
  • ISO young men willing to work, confront weaknesses, revisit mistakes & follow simple instructions.
  • A full refund to qualifiers who don’t net 180 points (get details).
  • Ask around: guidance counselors, headmasters, satisfied parents…Check out Checkbook Magazine article link. In “Highlights” box (p. 17) we’re nearly tops.
  • Read what lies behind disappointing scores
