| We
were looking for a comprehensive SAT prep program
that would prepare our students, at all levels,
to maximize their performance on the test. PowerScore
has been a very effective tool for our students
and our school. With both the full-length and weekend
course options, our students can find a testing
option that is just right for them. The instructors
are knowledgeable, organized, and well-versed in
what the SAT is all about, and they convey this
information to the students using a creative, interesting
approach. On the administrative side, PowerScore
has been a joy to work with in all aspects! I highly
recommend them! Karen

The
inside story on our amazing courses
The following is a selection of just a few of the comments
students have made about the PowerScore SAT Course:
“Jon
is really great and so thorough in his explanations that I immediately
understand everything that I didn't quite understand the first
time I took the SAT. He really does address everyone's concerns
and is an absolutely amazing instructor.” Rachel
M.
SAT
Live Online Course Student
“I was so overjoyed to hear of my daughter's enthusiasm
for what she has learned in this weekend course. She stated
she learned more math in one day than she has in three months.
Adam (the instructor) had a way of interacting with her where
learning connected.
I signed her up for this course based on blind internet surfing
-- I am now a walking advertisement for it!”
Naomi Woerner

SAT Weekend Course Parent
“The
instructor made class fun and I looked forward to going to classes.
Small class size made a more comfortable learning atmosphere.
The online grading system for practice tests was easy to use
and it provided quick scoring. Also, the score report was extremely
helpful. Compared to the first time I took the actual SAT test
(without prior courses), this time I was less exhausted and
felt more confident.”
Alison H.
Los Angeles, CA
"The PowerScore SAT class was excellent!
I've been to two other SAT classes but nothing compares to PowerScore.
The course explained everythinggg!! It made even the toughest
of questions easy. My instructor was sooooo cool. He was young
and nice and made my class great. Having a young and hip teacher
definitely made the class fun and not tedious and boring like
my other SAT courses. The small class size was also to my benefit.
The instructor was able to see our weaknesses and work with
us to boost them. He was excellent!! I've been very stressed
out about taking the SAT, but now I honestly am looking forward
to it. I feel like I have an advantage over the other students.
I have the PowerScore secrets!"
Chrissy M.
New York, NY
“Although my daughter was initially hesitant
about attending a review course without knowing any other students
in attendance, the course proved to be a positive experience
in all regards. Not only did my daughter enjoy sharing lunch
with other students that she met, the instructor did a good
job of making everyone feel welcome. My daughter's Verbal score
alone went up 100 points on her subsequent SAT test. Such positive
results have increased her drive and determination…”
Joy Cannon
Atlanta, GA
SAT Weekend Course Parent
“The PowerScore Weekend course was very
helpful. I feel like I can tackle any question that comes my
way. The instructor was amazing! SAT material is usually so
dull but the instructor made everything interesting and upbeat.
I'm actually looking forward to taking the test! I am so happy
that I chose PowerScore.”
Priscilla Z.
Miami, FL
“The class really helped a ton. From the moment I got
to the course I began learning new concepts and tricks. The
first time I took the SAT I got a 770 on the math, so I didn't
think I'd learn or improve a whole lot in that area, but I learned
so much even for the math section. I would highly recommend
this course to any fellow students. It wasn't even hard to pay
attention, slightly entertaining, and full of learning.”
Nate E.
Los Angeles, CA
“The SAT Weekend Course not only enhanced
my understanding of what would be tested on the SAT, but also
provided a variety of techniques that are not abstract, but
realistic and helpful. Overall, the course taught me how to
look at a complex problem and, instead of being instantly frightened,
approach it with a calm mind and knowledge that I could solve
it.”
April C.
Austin, TX
“The PowerScore SAT weekend is a great
value for high school students preparing for the landmark test.
The instructor was patient and personable and effective in putting
me in the 2400 mindset!”
Kelly R.
Philadelphia, PA
“I believe that this class has helped me so much, making
me understand what and how to study, and showing me new techniques
to help. The instructor was not only really helpful and smart;
he made the learning environment fun, and made it real easy
to learn interacting with each and every one of the students.
I would highly recommend this program and I highly enjoyed the
class myself.”
Taylor F.
San Francisco, CA
“I
just wanted to thank you. My son, Kellen, took the weekend course
in September and we just got his SAT scores: Reading 800, Math
750 and Writing 720. We're happy! (And he liked his instructor
a lot)”
Diane Sherlock
Pasadena, CA
SAT Weekend Course Parent
“I loved the PowerScore Weekend Course!
I would recommend the course to everyone, especially seniors
who need to cram in one more SAT. I had no idea that I knew
so little about the SAT, but now I'm glad that I know everything
there is to know. Even if the class would have not boosted my
score, I would pay to take the course again just for confidence
that it gave me taking my next SAT!”
Danielle S.
Atlanta, GA
“I feel that I have learned more from this
weekend course than I have from a once-a-week class (through
my school) that I have taken for the past year.”
Brett Z.
Boca Raton, FL
“Not only does the course broaden your
knowledge of the SAT test but the materials you are provided
allow you to continue to learn right up until the day before
your test. The instructors are extremely helpful and knowledgeable
in all areas of the SAT.”
Rachel D.
Austin, TX
“The weekend course was very helpful in
a few ways. First of all, I'm not as stressed as I was before
about taking the SATs, I now understand that the SAT questions
are deceiving, and the whole thing is just a game to beat. I
learned a lot of the secrets of the SAT when it comes to selecting
the correct answer. This was probably the most helpful thing.
The teacher was very open to questions during the course, and
I feel I got my money's worth. I feel so much more confident
about HOW to take the SAT now.”
Simona D.
Boston, MA
“I thought the class was going to be boring,
but I actually enjoyed and I’m thankful my parents signed
me up for the course. It’s a really great way to review
everything in a fast effective manner.”
Calvin S.
San Diego, CA
“I liked the class because it effectively
covered all the possible material without being long or boring.
The PowerScore workbook is very well written with awesome tips,
examples and practice problems.”
Alyson F.
Los Angeles, CA
“I feel especially more confident in taking
the writing portion of the upcoming SAT, because the class showed
how much different this particular essay is compared to other
essays we are expected to write in high school.”
Cecilia B.
San Diego, CA
“This
is course is excellent for understanding the ins and outs of
the SAT. It helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses
as well exposing me to the structure of the test.”
Jeremiah D.
Houston, TX
“This
course was a great experience…it was still very helpful
and better than my high school SAT Prep Course! I learned more
effective strategies that made hard questions seem easy. My
instructor was great and I give much thanks.”
Wayne W.
Rockville, MD
“…I learned many new tricks and tips in each section
of the SAT to help me understand and figure out problems or
questions fairly easy. I also felt that since our instructor
was young and easy going, he understood how stressful the SATs
are to us instead of those older instructors that would just
hassle us. Great job!”
Grace J.
Philadelphia, PA
“Before coming to the class and meeting
my instructor I had doubts about being there. I figured it would
be just another class, but instead it was an amazing experience
that helped me achieve a higher score on the SAT.”
Brian S.r
Fairfax, VA
“The course definitely familiarized me
with the SAT, and I felt a million times more confident going
into the SAT with Powerscore's training than I did going into
previous SAT tests that I had not prepared for. Thanks!”
Karina S.
New York, NY
“I thought that the class was very interesting,
and that my instructor gave me a better understanding and feeling
of confidence with this material. I feel like I will benefit
greatly from this PowerScore class, and I have already recommended
it to other friends of mine. Thank you!”
Lauren S.
Rancho Cucamonga, CA
“I noticed the SAT was significantly easier to understand
after taking this course. The instructor gave great strategies
for tackling the essay, and I even learned some geometry that
I didn't learn in my geometry class last year.”
Aleksandr W.
Washington, DC
“The
course was invaluable because of the helpful strategies that
were given for taking the test. The essay section will make
writing the essay on test day so much easier and less stressful.
The small class size made it easy to ask questions and have
discussion. Well done!”
Tammi
S.
Orlando, FL
“I
am very impressed with the instructor. I assumed the class would
be boring and uneventful; however I don't at all mind attending
the 3 hour lessons despite the 40 minute drive. I feel I am
learning a great amount, and I also enjoy myself which is more
than I had hoped for in an SAT class.”
Erin
S.
Miami, FL
“The
instructor Adam really helped me to better understand the concepts
that are going to be on the SAT. It was well worth the time!”

of a weekly course.”
Chris C.

pick up my book and study!”
Terra N.

prepare me. The instructor was very helpful; he explained the
meanings of the questions and was open to any questions that
we had…Thank you so much for the help that you have given
me. I truly appreciate it.”
Lauren B.
San Diego, CA
“I took a PSAT course with a different
review company program and I did not feel it helped me at all.
That is why I thought for the SAT I would try your review. I
now feel confident and prepared to score much better than when
I took it the first time. The strategy and tactics Craig taught
us made so much sense in understanding the SAT. Class size was
very small and individual questions were encouraged.”
Mary P.
Cleveland, OH
“This class was amazing. It broke things
down in ways I would have never thought of. The instructor was
extremely good at teaching the subject matter and he knew how
to make things clear and easy.”
Lauren A.
Chicago, IL
“The course helped me understand what was
to be tested on the SATs and what to be aware or careful of.
The weekend practice tests helped significantly, as, through
these practice tests, I found out my strengths and my weaknesses.”
Christine S.
Atlanta, GA
“This class was amazing; I came into the
class very skeptical of whether or not the instructor could
teach me anything I did not know already. But I am glad I was
proven wrong. This well structured class enabled me to increase
my score by 360 points.”
Melissa H.
San Diego, CA
"My child's scores increased drastically
after taking the PowerScore Course. I don't know how any parent
can afford NOT to have their child take the course."
Toni Woods
Hilton Head Island, SC

“Adam was really cool. He explained things
extra times for those who needed more help and before he moved
on he made sure we all understood. The tips and knowledge he
gave were very helpful.”
Ryan S.
San Francisco, CA
“My
daughter needed to increase her score by 130 points to qualify
for Presidential Scholarships. She has a 4.0 GPA and is in the
top 4% of her class…She took the PowerScore course and
improved her score to 1470!! We are thrilled. We now feel that

was expecting to come to the class and be drilled, but my instructor
made the class more exciting through rewards and one on one
communication. I was upset that I had to go to school over the
weekend, but Dave helped make the course relaxed and not boring
like school.”
Joseph P.

able to learn a lot!”

enjoyed the PowerScore SAT course. I was a little bit concerned
at first that the course would be boring. I was surprised that
