Of course, SAT prep and ACT prep is not cheap. However, the return on investment is incredible.
For example, a Prep Expert student recently received $1.4 million in college scholarships after improving his SAT score through our SAT prep course – a 200,000% return on investment.
Even if your child receives just one college scholarship due to his or her SAT/ACT score, the money is made back. Not to mention, we have a score improvement money-back guarantee!
