Wondering how to get the last few points that could get you into your dream school? PrepScholar has innovative and exclusive features that can be your best friends come test day.

 

Does PrepScholar Work for High Scorers?

Yes! PrepScholar is especially valuable for high scorers because it focuses on advanced, targeted improvement rather than surface-level review.

The program begins with a diagnostic test that creates a personalized study plan, ensuring strong students skip skills they already know and move directly into advanced lessons and realistic practice questions that match the difficulty of the actual SAT or ACT.

In addition, specialized strategy lessons teach high scorers how to reduce careless mistakes, manage time effectively, and solve the toughest questions consistently—skills that are essential for raising already high scores.

With guidance from tutors who are themselves 99th-percentile scorers, PrepScholar is designed to help top students refine their approach and push their scores to the highest possible level

 

3 PrepScholar Features That Are Perfect for Students Aiming for a High Score

Because it was built by top scorers, PrepScholar is specifically designed to work for students who are looking to get as close to perfect as possible.

 

Personalized Study Plans

Nothing is more frustrating for students than going through the motions of “learning” something they already know. The big classroom SAT and ACT prep courses, however, lump 100% of students into whatever groups sign up for that time and place, and “teach” them 100% of the same material in every single class. This is a recipe for disaster (and boredom!) for top scorers who don’t need to spend time learning the formula for the area of a triangle.

So PrepScholar tests you at the start of the course. Then, based on your performance on questions that test each individual skill, we give you a lesson at the correct level for your score—if you answer almost every question correctly, you’re going to get all Advanced Lessons and Advanced or higher level questions. If you breeze through easier questions, you shouldn't spend precious study time practicing them. 

Furthermore, our practice questions are carefully designed by SAT and ACT experts to match the difficulty of real SAT and ACT questions so you won't be taken by surprise on test day.

 

Strategies That Make the Difference

Top-quality test content and skill analysis is only part of the package, however. Some of PrepScholar’s most innovative lessons are Strategy Lessons, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of understanding and mastering the SAT and ACT. 

The bottom line is that jumping from 1400 to 1550 (or 30 to 34) is different than jumping from 1200 to 1350 (or 22 to 26), and we give you the tools to make the jump you need. Lower scoring students need to skip certain difficult questions, for example, and top scorers need to learn how to get those questions right every time. This is what our strategy lessons are designed to do.

Specifically, we show you how to reduce careless mistakes, how to allocate your time precisely so you can answer every question with certainty, and how to approach the toughest questions in multiple ways.

 

99th Percentile Scoring Tutors

As a cohort of perfect and 99th percentile scorers, we intimately understand the problems at the top. We have vast experience with all types of SAT and ACT prep, including traditional classroom prep, and have worked hard to avoid other companies' mistakes. We’ve watched top scorers in classrooms get bored and miss the information that could actually help them. We also know the frustrations of irrelevant or unnecessary work, and eliminate it from your personalized course.

If you're looking for more guidance, our live classes and 1-on-1 tutoring are all lead by 99th percentile scorers. Our Advanced SAT Topics class is explicitly designed for students who are already scoring 1400+ but want to absolutely maximize their scores.
