PrepScholar review PrepScholar has been really helpful with helping me get ahead on applying for college and stand out as an applicant. I have learned lots about what I can do to get ahead and my counselor, Dominique, has been especially helpful as a supportive. She is much more helpful and knowledgeable than the counselors at my school. Without her and the company I wouldn’t be where I am today and be able to get so much help and guidance.

Great 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!

Meh. 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.

Waste 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.

Success story-5 point increase! Great company-it was extremely helpful to have the structure and targeted lessons for my son to help with pacing and focusing on his areas of need. Prep scholar gave detailed progress reports and kept in contact with my son. I am so happy to say that he increased his total score by 5 points and increased in all areas. We plan to use this program for my daughter-I highly recommend Prep Scholar!
