The College Prep Difference

All test prep programs are not the same. We are a boutique college prep company that specializes in college entrance exams. Here’s how our programs are different:

• Exclusive focus on the ACT, SAT & PSAT

  We don’t offer classes for every exam under the sun. We specialize so you can get focused, up to date, concentrated help for the test you need.

• Expert instruction

  Our classes are taught by Megan Dorsey, a nationally recognized test prep expert. We are NOT giving you a college kid trained to teach from a workbook or a school teacher looking to pick up extra cash by tutoring. We know the exams, how to improve scores, and how to effectively teach teens.

• A program designed by a national expert

  All course materials were developed and revised by College Prep’s founder, Megan Dorsey, a nationally recognized expert in the field of test preparation.  Megan combines over 25 years of test prep experience and graduate work in testing, psychology, and education to offer a program that delivers results.

• Class structure that mirrors the test

  You won’t find classes divided by subject here. Each prep class or tutoring session combines reading, writing, math, (science for ACT), and test taking strategies. The ACT & SAT demand students switch from one subject to another in a matter of seconds, so we do the same.

• Intentional time for practice and mastery

  We understand learning theory and brain science (and everyday experience with students) and we know that learning the material is not enough. Students must have time to absorb, practice, and master the content and strategies before taking the ACT or SAT. This is why even our quick cram classes allow for a couple of weeks of practice prior to the actual exam.

• Exclusive use of official test materials

  The ACT & SAT / PSAT demand attention to the slightest details. Companies that use mock exams written by their corporate publishing department are giving you the testing equivalent of a knock-off handbag. We rely on official tests so our students practice with authentic materials before taking the real exam.
