Mr. Byrom was very fun to work with and the way he teaches by asking leading questions and guiding me only where I needed it was very helpful.

They do a great job teaching the non-math parts of the SAT. However, when it comes to the math lessons they struggle to fully teach the required knowledge. Interestingly though, their after-lesson quizzes will quiz some of this harder material. It is somewhat annoying to have to teach yourself in these moments though when you spend 500 dollars on a course.

Prep Scholar is a good way to increase your SAT score and has proven to be effective in my case. One of the hardest parts of studying is finding enough good material, which takes up a significant amount of time once you've gone through the SAT prep material offered by Khan Academy. One thing Prep Scholar could do better in the future is by giving their students a bit more material, especially for the written section, since after studying for a while I got previously asked questions. Another con is that Prep Scholar doesn't offer any practice tests. The practice tests that are offered are the same ones offered by Khan Academy. In conclusion Prep Scholar is a very easy-to-use software to help you boost your sat score in a short period. In my case, my SAT score went up by about 130 points.

She explained well and showed her work but she went a little fast

Good to have specific guidance on question types that have shown up in the past. I compared with a couple of other possible test-prep sites, and PrepScholar was the best after doing the "free trial" for them all. Major issue: Program sold as covering PSAT, but in fact it just gives us the SAT program. Seems like false advertising. Still, we are using it, for lack of better alternatives. Second major issue is that the PSAT is changing format/content/time for Fall 2023, and as far as I can tell PrepScholar has not done any adjustment for this. A separate comment is that SAT prep seems more effectively for math than for reading. I think that this is more the nature of the subject than anything about PrepScholar. I hope this helps you help us for the Fall PSAT.

My experience with PrepScholar was excellent! The lessons were thorough and helped me excel in my SAT prep! I had an increase of 100 points, and the practice tests were very beneficial in preparing me for the timing and overall reality of the test. The biweekly live lesson sessions helped me clarify any questions I had, and my instructor was excellent!

They go very in depth on each specific topic that would be asked on the SAT. Both in Math and Reading and Writing. They also have very good article on tips and tricks to use for a high score! One thing that could improve my experience is limiting the repetitive questions on quizzes. At some points the questions were basically the same over and over and I felt like I wasn't getting better at the material.

This is a great program for self-motivated students. My daughter used it a few years ago, and my son is using it now. Their customer service reps are responsive and the weekly feedback allows parents to monitor their child's planned schedules and progress. However, it is not always accurate or personalized even though it is written to come across that way. E.g. the time a student studies is skewed since it seems to not count the time kids spend watching the videos; my son received a message saying it's time to complete a full prep test, which he had done the week prior. He responded with that info but received another prompt the following week. We also paid for the advanced monitoring, which has not given us any additional info or support. I regret adding on that service; it is definitely not worth the extra cost. Overall, the lessons and program is great; the weekly updates/support are just OK.
