Customized Instruction

At the beginning of each course, students take a diagnostic test to discern their ability level. This unique prep program caters to the needs of each student. Students then receive step-by-step instructions, so they know exactly what to study and can easily review their mistakes. They also receive weekly reports to track their progress. Those needing additional assistance can add one-on-one tutoring to their course. 

One-on-one tutoring is offered in four tiers, each pairing PrepScholar’s Complete Prep program with a set amount of individual instruction: 4, 10, 18, or 32 hours of one-on-one tutoring. All tutoring packages include access to the online program.

Programs and Services

PrepScholar has expanded well beyond a single test. In addition to SAT and ACT preparation, the company offers college admissions counseling, AP tutoring, and academic tutoring — giving students a single provider for test prep, subject help, and the college application process.

Live Classes and One-on-One Tutoring

Alongside its self-paced online courses, PrepScholar offers live, instructor-led SAT and ACT classes as well as live one-on-one tutoring for students who want real-time instruction. Live tutoring sessions are conducted online over Google Meet, so students can work with a tutor from anywhere.

Money-Back Guarantee

Both the ACT and SAT courses offer a five-day risk-free trial. Dissatisfied customers can request a refund; it is important to note that any used portion of tutoring packages cannot be refunded. Tutoring services do have a one-hour guarantee. Once a customer has tried tutoring for an hour, he or she can cancel and receive a full refund.

In addition, PrepScholar offers a score-improvement money-back guarantee. It guarantees SAT scores will increase by 160+ points on the 1600-point scale and ACT scores will increase by 4+ points. The guarantee has certain requirements, such as completing the course and having taken an official SAT, ACT, or PSAT before starting the program. Students only need to submit that prior score if they later claim a refund under the guarantee.

Customer Support

PrepScholar advertises free technical support. Customers can contact a purchase question hotline or email the company. They also offer a helpful FAQs page and have a clear, easy-to-use website.

Premium Tutoring Prices

PrepScholar’s self-paced online courses are competitively priced for the test-prep industry, but its one-on-one tutoring packages are more expensive than many competitors. Tutoring packages include the online course and range from $995 to $4,795, depending on the number of tutoring hours.

Guarantee Requirements

PrepScholar’s score-improvement money-back guarantee is subject to conditions. To be eligible, students must complete the course and must have taken an official SAT, ACT, or PSAT before starting the program. Customers should review the full guarantee requirements to be sure they qualify.
