Test Prep for Success opened doors for me. Heather helped me differentiate myself from other high school seniors applying to the same schools as me. I was only at test prep for about a month and raised my ACT score by 7 points! Heather makes sure each student has all the tools they need to succeed, as long as they are willing to put in the work. Going to Test Prep for Success was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Working with Ms. Krey definitely raised my SAT score, which was helpful because Georgetown still required SAT scores to be sent this year.

TP4S helped me prepare for the SAT and develop better study habits. The one on one attention really helped me understand the materials better. Getting feedback from practice SATs helped me to see where I made mistakes and understand the testing material better.

I liked the involvement and how they would explain how the questions were right because of something and wrong because of something else.

Anna was great! She was patient and kind while working with my daughter. She helped her tremendously with her SAT knowledge. My daughter increased her score by 100 points with the help from Anna. I would highly recommend anyone looking to improve their SAT scores to use her services.
