It’s harder than ever to stand out when applying to college.

Last year saw more applications to college than any year prior. USC received more than 60,000 applications for 9,535 spots. Harvard’s acceptance rate fell to 3.4%. Each year, these numbers continue to drop.

With ChatGPT, will colleges continue to trust that students actually wrote their essays?

But there is one piece of the admissions puzzle that will help you stand out that you have complete control over — your ACT or SAT score.

Some stats you may find surprising:

* More than 90% of colleges still accept the ACT and SAT, and unless a college is test blind they prefer students with scores.

* Students are admitted to USC 40% more often when they submit an ACT or SAT score, and nearly twice as often at Notre Dame

* ACT and SAT scores can be the key to winning scholarships of $100,000 or more

 

The ACT and SAT don’t measure intelligence.

We work with students of all levels, from those shooting for perfect scores to those who think they “aren’t good at testing,” to everyone in between.

Every student can raise their ACT and SAT scores.

These exams don’t measure raw intelligence. They reward the hard work of students who prepare for them.

Our unique teaching framework has been demonstrated to improve grades in high school, raise AP scores, and help students perform in college.

Enroll your child in a Test Prep Gurus' 1-on-1 program to raise their ACT or SAT score and gain admittance to the college of their dreams.

Bet On Yourself.

There is an initial financial commitment that comes with working with an expert test preparation firm. This is because your student won’t just work with his or her tutors. Behind the scenes, an entire team of educational professionals will work around the clock to inspire your student to achieve his or her goals.

You might also be interested to know that an investment in test prep can save you money. Roughly half of all scholarships are tied to your GPA and an ACT or SAT score. Many of our students win scholarships worth $10,000 - $150,000.

A strong ACT or SAT score can also lead to more favorable financial aid terms. These technically aren’t scholarships, but the result is the same — your family saves money.

Committing to an ACT or SAT prep program isn’t a decision about “cost.” Just like college, it’s an investment in your child’s future.
