I highly recommend Pittsburgh Prep for students looking to improve SAT scores. My daughter’s SAT scores went up by 250 points moving her from the bottom 40% to the top 40% and substantially improving the odds of getting into her college of choice; it was also a tremendous boost to her self-esteem. The kids in the class bonded and studied together which was a positive motivating factor. Pittsburgh Prep has a solid methodology that helps students move the bar.

What Our Students & Parents Have To Say

I thought I'd let you know that I got into 4 medical programs and several other undergrads with half rides! I ultimately decided on Purchase BS/MD program, as they provided me academic scholarship and a global scholars study abroad scholarship. Lots of this credit goes to Pittsburgh Prep! Thank you so much for everything!!!

Sawyer will be in his junior year at Georgia Tech studying mechanical engineering in the fall. Mason will be starting the mechanical engineering PhD program at CMU this fall. He had competing offers from Georgia Tech, Cornell, and the University of Washington at Seattle. A lot of their success can be attributed to Pittsburgh Prep ! Thanks very much.

We are pleased with Louise's results. She scored a 1200 on her June SAT with a 610 in reading and a 590 in math. This represents a 100 point gain in her math, compared to the PSAT in 11th grade, and we know that is a result of your help and Josh's. This gain also balanced out her scores. Her reading improved by 20 points. The composite score is smack dab in the middle of the range for her first choice school so we are feeling optimistic about her being accepted. Additionally, her three essay scores will distinguish her. They were a 7, 6, and 7 based on an 8 point scale.
