I just got my January SAT scores back, and they jumped 280 points! My December SAT scores were 1800 (680 in Math, 550 in Writing and 570 in Critical Reading). In January, I got a 2080 with 710 in Math, 720 in Writing, and 650 for Critical Reading. Thanks for all the help.
My daughter feels uncomfortable bragging about her scores, but I am so delighted! We accomplished what we set out to do – her reading went up 140 points from the PSAT; her math went up 50 points and her writing went up 30. I am THRILLED with her scores and really THANK YOU, Rick so very, very much.
My daughter did so well with Jesse (an 800 on her Math Level 2!!!). He has done an amazing job building her confidence. I can’t say enough. In fact, my daughter said the saddest part about being done is that eventually she will have to give Jesse up. She is taking AP Multivariable Calc next year just to keep him!
I’d like to thank you again for teaching our class. It sounds impossible to effectively teach a class of exhausted high school students running on empty from a full school day and sports, but your class was very enjoyable and you kept us all awake! Thank you for giving me the tools to excel on the AP test.
I can’t say enough good things about my son’s tutoring experience with Carnegie Prep. His test scores went up significantly, but what I think is even more important, he went from feeling insecure and overwhelmed to having a level of confidence that has spread to his current studies as well. The pairing of Kate for English and Mike for math is a combo not to be beat. Their “you can do this” approach instills confidence and brings back pleasure to the learning process.
Hi Dan! I got a 5 on the AP Physics Exam, which I am very happy with (especially considering where I began!) Thank you again for not only the excellent course, but also the extra help and encouragement I needed to keep with the test despite its initial difficulty.
Tim makes the course interesting and therefore easy to remember. He’s also very active in finding a way to help his students, meeting with them one-on-one or changing his teaching style/notes format to his students’ preference. He is a truly excellent teacher, and I felt very well prepared for the AP Environmental Science exam.
My son’s composite ACT score improved 5 points from his pre-ACT to his 2nd ACT test. Lynn Carnegie is fantastic and really listens to what her clients need. My son first took the ACT Blast, and Lynn helped match him with great tutors along the way to hone in on his areas of weakness without sacrificing areas of strength.
Jerry, your mothers direction and support from day one with subject test strategy, pairing my son with Caroline for ACT prep and essay editing, you coming out of retirement to share your wisdom, providing a few other amazing tutors for the little extra push, and suggesting we find an outside counselor that’s a fit were all individual acts that amounted to something big!!!!
Hi Marshall,
C. got a lot out of the class and really enjoyed having you as her teacher. She says you are “funny, awesome, a great teacher”! Just thought you should know. Thank you for all your effort.
Thank you thank you! My daughter so loved the ACT Blast with Peter and Marshall! She said that she understands now how kids who take a course have such an advantage over those that do not. The strategies she learned she could not get from a book or through practice on her own.
A big thank you to the team, and in particular to Amelia and Peter. My son just got back his SAT results – a 2290 (730 Reading, 770 Math and 790 Writing). The communication, professionalism and availability of your team gave my son the skills and confidence he needed. There is no doubt I will use your classes with my other children!
Anya is a wonderful verbal SAT tutor. She tutored both my son and daughter. They only took the SAT once, scoring from 750 to 800. My children have different personalities, strengths, and learning/study styles. Anya easily adapted to these and made the time productive. Both my kids respected her and wanted to excel for her.
I wanted to express my gratitude for Anya. She was a critical part of my acceptance into Wharton. Every week she would help me with my various college essays. She is so understanding and patient and incredibly intelligent. Without her help, neither me nor my brothers would be where we are today.
S. took the March SAT course. Her scores were solid but she wanted to do better (she got 800 in Writing, 760 in Math, and 680 in Reading). She had decided to take the ACT in April and didn’t study AT ALL. Miraculously, she got a 35! She was shocked. She thinks the SAT course she took definitely prepped her well for this ACT.
