At Success Prep, not only do we focus on test-taking tips and strategies, but we also provide instruction on relevant concepts & topics typically presented on the SAT test – concepts that many students have forgotten. If your student cannot remember geometry concepts or how to accurately diagnose sentence errors, then test-taking strategies alone will do very little to improve your student’s SAT score. Our SAT Prep course in Atlanta includes a comprehensive review of 9th to 11th grade math & verbal concepts along with other essential tools for success, such as a review of frequently occurring questions, strategies for responding to particular question types, and instruction on how to compose a high-scoring writing sample!

SAT REVIEWS
______________________________________
“I first learned about Success Prep when I received my PSAT scores and a spokesperson came to my school for an informational meeting. My parents decided to register me for the Online Self Study SAT Prep program with Success Prep, because I am involved in several extra curricular activities and would be unable to do weekend tutoring and also because my PSAT score (208) suggested that I would not need much assistance in raising my score. I was originally apprehensive about the online format because I believed I would get easily distracted, but the format of the Online Self Study program proved to be interactive and engaging. I particularly appreciated the video explanations which came along with every single question.
On the first practice test, I received a score of 1820 (630CR, 520M, 710W) but over the course of approximately two months, I was able to improve my score. On the actual exam I received a score of 2200 (700CR, 700M, 800W) and I attribute a large amount of my success to the program because it taught me the ins and outs of the test.
I only took the SAT once and am incredibly grateful for the program and the support and understanding of the Success Prep team. I strongly recommend the program to anyone who wants to improve their scores. It is a very valuable resource of which I am glad I had a chance to take advantage.”

“Success Prep is the perfect solution for students struggling in school. I have used Success Prep tutoring services on three separate occasions. The first was in 2005 when my son needed additional assistance in his high school Physics class. The second occasion was in 2010 when my daughter needed additional assistance in her high school Physics class. On both occasions I was extremely pleased with their tutoring services.
Success Prep was able to teach this difficult subject in a way that helped both of my children understand the various concepts of Physics. My son’s grade went from a “D” to a “B” and my daughter’s grade went from an “F” to a “B” after Success Prep’s tutoring.
The last occasion I used Success Prep was in April-May, 2011 for SAT preparation for my daughter. Due to the fabulous efforts of Success Prep, my daughter increased her SAT combined score by 350 points! She increased her Critical Reading score by 80 points; Math by 90 points; and Writing by 180 points! Success Prep provided exceptional instruction to my daughter that made her feel comfortable during her tutoring sessions and increased her self confidence tremendously.
I would recommend Success Prep to any parent that wants to provide their child an opportunity to improve in any academic subject area or standardize test arena.”

“Success Prep helped SM increase his score by almost 200 points from the mid 2100s to 2320 (800V, 770M, 750W). Success Prep taught the finer nuances needed to be a good test taker especially in the Writing section. Very committed coaches – we would recommend Success Prep to anyone wanting that extra edge to get to the next level. Thanks!”

“I’m a recent “graduate” of the Success Prep class held at Grady High School, and I just got my SAT results back this past week. I was really happy to see that I managed to score a perfect 800 on the math section! I just wanted to express my thanks to you for helping me get to this point, especially Ms. Yomi (hope I’m spelling that right)! I couldn’t have done it without her help on the math section. If you could pass on my gratitude, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!”

“Success Prep SAT tutoring gave my daughter the confidence she needed to approach the SAT without apprehension or fear. The tutoring reviewed substantive matters, as well as provided guidance on test taking techniques. My daughter believes her score was higher because of the tutoring.”

“Success Prep came highly recommended to our family by a middle school teacher who had hired the tutoring service to assist her son. She spoke highly of their effectiveness and professionalism. We hired the firm to help our daughter who had some gaps in her knowledge of math (due to poor instruction at school). For two weeks the tutor came to our house each day and worked with our daughter. Her SAT scores went up substantially in math, but equally important, she felt that in two weeks she learned the fundamentals of geometry and algebra which she did not get in her classroom instruction.”

“Success Prep proves that all things are possible. Through the outstanding dedication and expertise of the Success Prep tutoring team, my daughter gained confidence in her ability to tackle standardized testing challenges. The testing strategies designed and customized for her specific needs paid off, evidenced by a 500 point increase in her SAT scores. Students who believe they have reached a plateau can count on Success Prep to help them reach a higher level.”

“I would like to thank Success Prep & Carolyn for helping Taylor achieve her goal. Taylor was having difficult time with the reading section of her SAT; she had taken the test 2 twice. Each time her scores in critical reading & writing section were in the 300’s. After 3 sessions with Carolyn, Taylor retook the test. Her scores went up over 250 points. She scored a 500 in critical reading and 500 in the writing. This is amazing.”

” Thanks Success Prep for helping me improve my SAT score, I previously took a Kaplan SAT Prep class and learned very little even after paying over $600. The Success Prep SAT class was less expensive and I learned valuable strategies & concepts that helped increase my score by 310 points.”

“Hi, Olu and Roger. I just thought I would give you some feedback, as Patrick’s scores from the March SAT are now in. He went from a 1780 on the November test to a 2000 on the March test. His math score was the same on both tests (670), which is no surprise as our focus was on improving his reading and writing scores. His reading went from a 520 in November to a 610 in March, and his writing went from a 590 in November to a 720 in March. You should also know that Patrick’s dad reviewed a school paper Patrick had written just a few days ago and thought the tutoring had helped Patrick’s basic writing skills as well. Needless to say, we feel like the tutoring was time and money well spent. Thanks so much! “
Patrick | SAT score – 2000 | Increase of 220 points

“On behalf of Mayor Shirley Franklin (Former Atlanta Mayor) and the Next Step staff, a sincere thank you goes out to Success Prep for an OUTSTANDING SAT Prep Workshop on Saturday. In speaking with the Seniors, the workshop was both informational and fun. We were very pleased with the impact your workshop had on the success of Saturday “Meet with the Mayor”.”
