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!

There is no preparation questions for English reading and writing portion of Digital SAT. Mathematics portion was OK I was influenced by prepscholar claim for best SAT prep material but its not.

Hi Rawan, just like every other U.S.-based SAT prep company, PrepScholar currently doesn't offer Digital SAT Prep as it will not be offered in the U.S. until March of 2024. We understand the Digital SAT will begin being offered to international students on March 11th of this year, so we're working hard to roll out our Digital SAT Prep by early summer of 2023. Every student who signs up for our current SAT prep will also receive access to the Digital SAT prep portion when it becomes available. Our Digital SAT Prep will reflect all format changes that come with the new digital test, and unlike other prep services, we'll also offer new prep content that more accurately reflects the content tested on the Digital SAT.

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.

Hi there, we're sorry that you didn't have a great experience with our program. PrepScholar's Complete Prep program is a self-paced course, so you actually get to set your own studying schedule each week. What the program does is lay out a recommended study plan based on your diagnostic test results and ongoing progress so you can start at the right difficulty level and focus on your test weaknesses. Regarding the content, the program assigned you both math and English lessons because it determined that you had room for improvement in both sections. It's perfectly okay if you're unable to complete the recommended lessons in a given week as long as you complete the desired studying hours that you set at the beginning of the week. The following week, the program's dashboard will update and include any recommended lessons that carried over from the previous week. We apologize if there was a misunderstanding or if it was unclear how the program works. We'll take your feedback into account to lay things out more clearly. Nevertheless, we are happy to hear that your score improved.

The videos help.

The format of the course was better suited for my student to learn how to approach the test, understand and apply the material, and get more test questions correct. My son scored 7 points higher on his ACT composite score than with other test prep that used video content and practice lessons that he reported were more tedious and less engaging for him. He put the time in, and got real results. We are happy we picked PrepScholar and would do it again in a heartbeat!

This is a great program for self-motivated students. My daughter used it a few years ago, and my son is using it now. Their customer service reps are responsive and the weekly feedback allows parents to monitor their child's planned schedules and progress. However, it is not always accurate or personalized even though it is written to come across that way. E.g. the time a student studies is skewed since it seems to not count the time kids spend watching the videos; my son received a message saying it's time to complete a full prep test, which he had done the week prior. He responded with that info but received another prompt the following week. We also paid for the advanced monitoring, which has not given us any additional info or support. I regret adding on that service; it is definitely not worth the extra cost. Overall, the lessons and program is great; the weekly updates/support are just OK.

One of the only programs where I felt I was actually making improvements. I wish there were more/better videos for some of the more difficult concepts.

My child has the good suggestions.
