Great Course

The instructor (Miguel) was very thorough with his explanations and made sure to frequently check in regarding how we were taking in the information being given. He explained everything very clearly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a good score on the SAT.

PrepScholar is a game-changer. The SAT prep is personalized, easy to follow, and actually works—my students loved the structure, and I loved seeing their confidence grow. The 160+ point improvement guarantee and Admissions Bootcamp make it more than just test prep—it’s full college readiness. Totally worth it.

Tutoring and Course

My highlight of this experience was the tutoring. Grasse does a great job of helping me understand what I don't know. Although on this short occasion, I find myself with a bunch of writing everywhere, which confuses me. Although the prep scholar course, it would be nice to have a recommended schedule. It's hard for me personally to stay consistent.

I learned a lot of super niche tips for the SAT that I would not have known otherwise. For example, the Desmos calculator is a huge life saver. I didn't realize before that I could get so many answers if I just knew how to properly use it.

Great website structure

PrepScholar's customized lessons and dashboard were super helpful for keeping me on track and making studying feel more organized. While the classes covered material I was already familiar with, the structure still helped me stay consistent and focused.

Seamless and Painless!

Seamless and a Brand that's easy to promote! When PrepScholar asked me to review their admissions counseling package it was a no-brainer! There process is straightforward, to the point, and without fluff. Their admissions have attended the top colleges so you're getting your support straight from the source! They were a pleasure to work with and families that entrust them to support them through the college admissions process will not be disappointed.

Very good class

Overall, the SAT course was good and helped me feel more prepared for the exam. The tutor was knowledgeable and explained the material clearly. However, I do think the sessions could have gone into a bit more depth, especially on some of the more challenging topics. A little more detailed explanation and practice would have made a big difference. Still, it was a helpful experience overall.

Great!

I really enjoyed the class because I felt like it was very individualized and we were given a lot of space to ask questions or get clarification.

This place SUCKS

This place SUCKS! we logged in and paid our money and then we find out that I accidentally signed her up for the paper version of the SAT verses the digital. Well…when you go to switch over they have you start the process all over again. Calls to the “support” number get you an automated message that there is no “Support” via phone, only email. Tired other “options” on the voice prompts for phone calls and get the same stuff, email us. Went to Paypal for a refund. Don’t use this place.

Hi Jeff, thanks for your feedback, and we're genuinely sorry for the confusion and frustration you experienced. To clarify, your daughter wasn’t signed up for the wrong version—our SAT prep accounts include access to both the Digital and Paper SAT versions. Up until recently, some students still needed to retrieve information from their Paper SAT account, so we made both available under the same login.

It looks like your daughter logged into the Paper SAT interface initially, and our support team quickly emailed to clarify and ensure she used the Digital SAT version instead. Unfortunately, it seems that email may have been missed, and shortly after, we received your request to cancel.

Per our 5-day risk-free trial guarantee, we immediately canceled the trial and processed your refund in full.

We understand the frustration of not having a phone support option. We’ve found that email allows us to offer 24/7 coverage and respond more efficiently to more families—our team replies within 1–2 hours on average, and always within 24 hours, including weekends and late nights.
We appreciate you giving us a try and wish your daughter all the best on her SAT journey.

Paul is a great tutor

Paul is a great tutor. He's a great teacher and was even able to help me with other subjects. He's helped me get 4 5s directly and a 5th indirectly. I really appreciated all of the help he gave me in preparation specifically for AP Physics 1, where he helped me learn a whole new way of looking at the course which helped me get a 5 on the exam.
