This SAT Strategy Works—A Checklist, a Diet Plan, and 170 More Points on the Board

Challenge

Before joining Prep Expert®, Arpan Shah felt stuck with his SAT prep. His practice test scores hovered around 1300, and he knew he needed a serious boost to reach his college goals. But like many students, Arpan worried that test prep would be stressful, boring, and confusing.

“I wanted to do better on the SAT, but it was tough to know where to start. I didn’t want to dread every prep session.”

Solution

That all changed when Arpan enrolled with Prep Expert® and met his instructor, Taylor Trautwein.

“My tutor, Taylor Trautwein, was fantastic. She has a great sense of humor and always made me laugh, which made the sessions really enjoyable.”

Taylor’s unique teaching style turned test prep into something Arpan could look forward to. Her methods included:

• Breaking down tough SAT material into easy-to-understand concepts
• Making every session engaging and fun
• Using real-life test strategies, from planning a study schedule to sharing what you should (and shouldn’t) eat the day before your exam
• Detailing exactly what to bring to test day for a calm, prepared experience

“What really stood out was how Taylor could break down complex material and make it easy to understand… The course itself is incredibly well put together; they plan out everything.”

Results

Fueled by Taylor’s support and a proven course structure, Arpan saw his practice SAT scores skyrocket from 1300 to 1470.

• +170 point score increase: 1300 ➝ 1470
• Improved understanding of SAT material
• Confidence and less stress leading up to test day
• An enjoyable, productive test prep journey

Arpan credits Taylor and Prep Expert® for giving him both the skills and confidence he needed without the boredom or dread he expected from SAT prep.

“Thanks to Taylor and Prep Expert®, my practice scores improved from 1300 to 1470. I highly recommend Prep Expert®, especially if you get the chance to work with Taylor!”

Prep Expert® made the difference for Arpan and it can do the same for any student who wants an effective, even enjoyable SAT prep experience.
