The Most Competently & Proficiently Taught SAT & ACT Courses in the Bay Area. Period.
Done RIGHT To The Last Detail: - NO WASTED TIME = Every Lesson adjusted in real-time, even Group Courses. - Clear, Simple, Direct, and RIGHT explanations & solutions. - 2300 test questions memorized = 12 - 15 times faster than reading the problem, then trying to solve & explain on the spot - Entire 30-hour course memorized: skip forward or backward to any point in the course instantly. - Overhead projector = 8 - 11 times faster than a whiteboard - Two-sided printing = saves paper, ink, and extra weight to carry around in backpack. - Folders = lighter and fit better in backpacks than large binders. - Direct and the point = We don't waste hours and hours talking about strategies, tips, and tricks.
SAT Courses Complete training for the SAT requires 60 - 90 hours of total study time, done properly. Over 9 weeks, that means 6 - 8 hours of lessons + homework each week.
>> Group Course ( 5 - 15 students )
* 20 - 30 hours
class time << Efficiency and directness means no wasted time and
faster classes. * Never locked in: Group Courses have an "A LA CARTE" option.
Other companies have huge, slow moving classes with 20, 30, or even 40 kids and follow a rigid UNCHANGEABLE course outline. Already know the math? Too bad - it's the math lesson for 3 hours.

Group vs Private Course? Private Course is better for these students: ( Group Courses are much cheaper, however ) 1) short attention span / easily distracted / ADD / dyslexia / learning disability 2) lack of motivation / likely to not do homework 3) VERY busy, and likely to miss classes 4) afraid to ask questions in a group setting 5) scoring VERY low ( lower than 1400) or very high ( higher than 1950 )
* For Students who have the discipline and motivation to study on their own.
ACT Courses Compete training for the ACT requires 35 - 60 hours of total study time, done properly. Over 8 weeks, that means 5 - 7 hours of lessons + homework each week.

At Solutions we value results, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. By eliminating expenses, ALL OF OUR EFFORTS GO TO ONE THING: delivering unparalleled SAT & ACT courses. Thus, we provide a better service at a lower price.
Sure, you can pay Kaplan $7400 for their Premium Master Tutoring, and you would STILL NOT GET ANYTHING CLOSE to what we offer.
What about a "Score Guarantee"? Don't fall for the "Score Guarantees" of those other companies. It is IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee a score increase any more than it is possible to guarantee a student's admission into a specific university.
"Score Guarantees" of other companies only mean
retaking the same
course that didn't work in the first place "for free", which doesn't
cost them a thing.
After you've sat through their course twice, MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS
WILL HAVE PASSED. BY THEN IT'S TOO LATE!!!! We do however, guarantee this: This will be the most comprehensive and correctly done SAT or ACT training a student will come across. Period.
Based on our actual score increase results, we can say with high certainty that if a Student follows our methods and does 100% ALL the work assigned, SAT score increases are likely to be 200 points or more.

Princeton Review's Guarantee
