What’s the Difference Between the PSAT and the SAT?
If you’re planning to go to college, you’ve probably heard of College Board, and you’ve probably heard of the standardized exams . . .

We have two clear, simple options that can be tailored for your unique needs. Both programs feature live tutoring with a 99th percentile tutor, tons of online resources and incredible bang for your budget.

Whatever questions you have, we'd love to answer them.
Your students log in for live sessions and have unlimited access to powerful resources
Our live online program for schools gives your students access to the same sort of course our private students take but for a significantly reduced cost. We'll build the course around your specific needs, but most schools will do 12-15 hours of instruction and have class sizes of fifteen or fewer. We can run multiple groups to acccomodate a large number of students and work around busy schedules.
Your students will each receive a copy of Solved, our curriculum book, and will have unlimited access to our Video Vault, which features 60+ HD test prep videos.
We use a combination of effective technology and an interactive teaching style to make online sessions highly effective. Take a look:
Ten hours of in-person prep done over a three day weekend
Looking for in-person prep instead? We'll come to your place over a three day weekend (Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon) and work around your schedule. We can get a lot done in this time, and your students will learn both core concepts and test taking strategies.
When it comes to hiring, our goal is to be the single most selective test prep company in existence. We start by having the most selective test score requirement in the industry: to work at Test Geek, you need a top 1% test score. That's good, but that's not enough. Plenty of people are great at the SAT or ACT but are terrible teachers. That's why we put all of our candidates through a selective teaching audition, resulting in a hiring process with a success rate of less than 3%.
We love working with schools! We've learned what works well and what doesn't, and below we've answered some of the most common questions we get.
There are a lot of good options, but one popular approach is to host a weekend-intensive program sometime during the month before a big test date. If your school is only planning to host one course, building it around a spring test date for juniors is probably the best bet. If you can swing two prep programs during the year, one in the fall (for both last-ditch seniors and early juniors) as well as the spring is a good setup.
Most students prefer to have the sessions held in their house. In some cases, the student's house might not be possible. In those cases, public libraries work well. We prefer to not have sessions in coffee shops. Whenever you first speak with your instructor, you can discuss with him or her what you prefer. Whenever possible, we try to accomodate your house as the session location if that is your preference. In certain cases, geography may make that difficult, but we will always advise you of that upfront.
Of course. Charter schools often have greater budget flexibility, but funds can still be limited. We have worked with a lot of charter schools, and we will bend over backwards to try to make things work.
Yes! We don't change pricing based on who is writing the check. The school doesn't need to find money in the budget to go this route.
Never. We recognize the unique nature of providing services to students enrolled in your school, so we never use these programs as an opportunity to upsell. We are here strictly to provide quality prep to the students, and our goal is to get them the score they need in the program we are offering. We also do not contact the students for any purposes outside of the program we are providing, and we do not share any of their information.
We can let you know what the minimum number of students needed will be, and we can then move forward as if the program will run. If it turns out that there is not enough interest, we will return any payments you or your students have made. There's no risk to you or your students in trying to make it work.
Not at all. We've worked with wealthy schools in expensive suburbs as well as very diverse schools in low-income communities. Our goal is to provide a program that is effective for your students, no matter what their average scores and socioeconomic background are.
