SAT Prep

[Anonymous]

Could someone give me a good SAT prep instructor or center? DS is a junior in the 2011-12 school year and we want him to start SAT preparation ASAP. We live in the Northern Virginia area, so if anyone knows of good SAT prep somewhere in the McLean/Vienna/Oakton/Reston/Fairfax, please let us know. A phone number, name, or website would be helpful. Thanks so much.

Prep Matters (tutors) in McLean and Bethesda was excellent. Google their website to get the details.

We used Sean McKay through Princeton Review. He was fantastic! Our kid only had an 1860 before Sean and he raised them to 2150 so they had the right scores to be recruited for an elite university.

To of my kids used Capital Educators. When DS wasn't happy with his scores, he continued getting test prep at no extra charge.

Prep Matters is supposed to be tops, all my friends use the one in Bethesda. (My son's a freshman, not there yet.)
