Full Class

SAT / PSAT Prep Classes

Decode the digital SAT with our full-course prep classes and get better scores without all the pressure.

SAT Scores up at least 100 points - guaranteed, with no fine print.

What's included

The class is our full SAT and PSAT curriculum, delivered one-on-one with personal attention for every student.

Seven sessions of instruction. Not seven blocks of supervised practice. Our instructors teach strategies, walk students through curriculum and test material, and target places students can see the biggest returns on their time. We limit class sizes so students get personal attention.
Practice tests. A baseline before the class begins if you don't have one, and another during the program to measure progress. More are available if you want them.
A focused homework plan. Quality prep that respects student time, not rote repetition designed to fill hours.
Our own curriculum. Not a workbook licensed from another company or College Board. Every lesson, drill, and explanation in the binder was written by our instructors based on what we've seen actually increase scores over twenty years of teaching the SAT and PSAT.
The full MTAT guarantee: SAT scores up at least 100 points, with no fine print. One of the few prep program guarantees that doesn't bury the conditions in an asterisk.
Lifetime perks. Free weekend tutorials, unlimited refresher sessions, and discounted private tutoring for any future one-on-one help. Take the PSAT class, and get the SAT class - free.

We recommend registering for a class date that leads up to a specific test you plan to take. Having trouble deciding? Give us a call at (214) 295-8265, and we'll figure out what makes sense for you.

Before you decide

Do you need a class?

Maybe not.

We recommend our group classes as a starting place for most families, but there are plenty of occasions that we suggest holding off, either for now, or on prep entirely.

The student isn't in at least the spring semester of their sophomore year. And we actually recommend even later, unless you've got a specific reason to take the SAT early. The research is clear: students don't need hundreds of hours of prep, and prep works best when it leads up to a specific test date.
Scores are already high. If you're in the 1450+ score range, you probably don't need a full class, and your time would be better spent working with one of our instructors one-on-one covering the few problems you're missing. It's less expensive and more efficient. If you're at a 1550+, you don't need prep at all. You've checked the standardized test box, and your time should be spent building the other parts of your application.
You're not sure which test is the right one. Most students take the PSAT at school, but they don't have a baseline ACT score. If that's you, take a free practice ACT first. There's no reason to take both prep classes. Focus on the test you're already better at.

Won't we be behind?

Nope. Seriously.

We're a test prep company: if we genuinely thought that students need more test prep or an early start, we'd sell it to you. It doesn't, and so we don't. Here's the timeline we recommend.

There's a lot of misinformation and FOMO marketing out there in the test prep industry, and we put together a long guide about the research and red flags to watch for. The short version, though, is that students typically see swiftly diminishing returns with test prep, and prep is most effective when it leads directly into a real, official test. That's why our classes are built around students registered for a specific test date.

The Instructors

It's right there in our name.

Most prep companies hire on test scores. It's not enough.

We hire high-scorers too, as a starting bar. A great test-taker isn't automatically a great teacher, though, so we also hire for communication, patience, and the ability to actually explain a problem clearly. And it's not enough to just have been a former student of ours or to have attended a great college. Every instructor goes through weeks of training and mock classes before they ever teach a paying student, whether they attended Harvard, another one of the Ivies, or a top public flagship. It matters.

Real results

What sort of increase can we expect?

It depends on the student. But we've served families across DFW since 2007, and in that time, our students' score gains have run roughly 50% higher than the industry-typical score increase. We've taught thousands of students. We've had dozens earn perfect scores. Our former students have gone on to Stanford, Yale, and the public Ivies, among others.

We guarantee a 100-point increase or better on the SAT/PSAT, but many of our students see significantly higher increases. Have questions? Reach out - we'd be happy to answer them.

The methodology behind our numbers matters more than the numbers themselves.

We measure improvement against the student's actual official baseline score, not against a diagnostic we engineered to be harder than the real test. Early or deflated baselines produce inflated gains, and the industry has used this trick for decades to manufacture impressive-looking results. Our increases show up where it matters: on college applications.

No Predatory Prep

Here's what we don't do.

Phony waitlists, "limited" slots, or other FOMO marketing. Parents need the best prep for their student, not a used car sales pitch.
Long term contracts. If a prep company was effective, they wouldn't need you to pre-commit before you see results.
A too-early start. Early prep makes prep increases look larger, but it doesn't actually change the final result.

Hundreds of hours of unneeded prep. If we thought more was more, we'd offer it. It doesn't, and it wastes time better spent elsewhere.
Inflated score gains. We measure against a real, official test. No way-too-early or too-difficult "diagnostic" tests.
Fine print guarantees. If you don't go up, you don't pay.
