When it comes to high pressure, high stakes tests like the SAT and ACT…
It’s not always what you know, or how talented you are, that makes the difference.
You have to be able to get yourself to do what you know.
To do your best when you practice…
And when you step into that classroom and take the test for real.
Think about it for a minute. I’m sure you know some kids who took the SAT and did way better than you’d think, and some who did much worse. You may have even been one of them.
What do you think makes the difference?
The kid who did way better was able to access all of his smarts and knowledge on test day.
She also probably made the most of her preparation and study; she learned more stuff in less time.
If you’re the kind of person who can walk into a big test without a lot of studying and knock it out of the park, you probably don’t need a lot of help getting ready for the SAT.
But if you know that a better score is in reach and just can’t figure out how to get there…
Or you got your PSAT score and thought, “How in the world did THAT happen? There’s no WAY I should’ve gotten that low…”
This could be the most important information you’ve seen this year.
If you’re one of the many people who scored lower that you thought you should, It can be VERY frustrating.
You know the feeling. You know you could do better. And you should.
You know that you know the material. Maybe you’ve even done the practice tests, and when you time yourself it just doesn’t work out the way you want it to.
You can’t stop making the same mistakes. Getting questions wrong when you know how to get them right. You can’t quite get over the hump.
It’s the frustration, that study and test anxiety, that’s holding you back.
It’s not your fault, though. Nobody ever taught you how to deal with it. They don’t teach that kind of thing at school, and they sure don’t teach it at any of the big test prep companies.
So you second guess yourself. You procrastinate. You know you have to study more, but the TV, the internet, the phone calls and texts from your friends are so darn seductive.
And the more you put it off the more your anxiety builds, which makes it even harder to study, and almost impossible do your best on the actual test and get the score you know you deserve.
That’s why knowing the material is not enough.
That’s why you have to be prepared mentally and emotionally, if you want to do your best.
That’s how you get the highest SAT or ACT score you can possible get.
It’s how you get into the college of your choice, and open the door to your future career. It’s how you get scholarship money.
And it’s how you keep yourself out of a college that’s not right for you in a city you don’t want to live in.
The big SAT prep companies only focus on the material and a few test taking tricks and techniques.
They don’t give you the mental edge you need to be able to do your best. They don’t teach you the inner game.
They don’t show you how to overcome your study and test anxiety so you can get yourself to do what you know. It hasn’t even crossed their minds.
If you know you could do better and want some help preparing for the high stakes and high pressure of the SAT or ACT…
If you want some help so you can perform at your absolute peak on test day, you owe it to yourself to contact me.
I’ve been kids reach their goals for 10 years now. That’s why I created SAT Success Secrets.
It’s premier, private tutoring that not only teaches you what you need to know to get a great score, but also shows you how to achieve it.
Here’s the secret…
Almost every student is capable of raising his SAT score 300 points.
Including you.
Even if you’re already a top scorer you can raise it another 150.
You’re a great tutor, you have an intuitive feel for motivating and bringing out the best in young people. -Rick and Mary Beth L.
The students we refer to Jeff not only do well on the SAT and ACT, but also for the first time feel confident about taking these tests, and about their school work in general, and feel like everything is going to be OK. And that’s particularly true for our students with learning differences. -Kris Ragland, Assoc. Director of College Counseling, Campbell Hall High School
Although a good student, my son was never pleased with his standardized testing scores and feared that the SAT would jeopardize his chances of being accepted to a top university… Working with Jeff resulted in my son’s achieving an over 500 point improvement from his first PSAT score… but more importantly to achieve the self-confidence needed to overcome his fears. -Lela N.
I wanted you to know that your tutoring made all the difference in the world when it came to how she prepared for this important moment in her life… The confidence factor alone is immeasurable… Your skilled tutoring helped Casey keep the right frame of mind, and went a long way to prepare her mentally and emotionally, not just academically… With our family’s thanks and best regards. -Vicki S.
The competition is fierce when it comes to getting into the college you really have your heart set on. There’s a lot of pressure to succeed. Good grades are not enough, and you need that extra edge.
Imagine the edge an extra 150 points gives you. Or 300 points. Or even more.
You can get it for yourself. Reach your potential. Achieve the success you deserve.
On the SAT, the college admissions process, and beyond.

P.S. I get emails all the time from parents whose kids have have dramatically improved their SAT score, gotten into the college of their choice, and feel great about the experience (sometimes I get emails from students, too!), and I want to help you, too.

I had fun while learning to master the techniques of the SAT trade, so I didn’t suffer through SAT prep like my friends did with other tutors. I owe my nearly perfect score to Jeff, and can honestly say that I enjoyed the process. -Shayna K
Matthew is having a blast at UCSD. You are clearly very talented. -Joan W.
A little update: Evan has his undergraduate degree in Architecture, he just left today for Buenos Aires to work for a year for an architectural firm then he’ll go back to London for 2 more years to finish up his graduate degree. So you definitely helped him in his life! -Toni S.
You were terrific and Trevor enjoyed your sessions. You influenced his self confidence positively to be successful at test taking. Good news! -Maureen E.
Dylan was reluctant to get a tutor because he has tried it before and didn’t feel like he got much out of it. This time was definitely different. You have given him a lot of confidence about this test and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate that. Thanks so much for all your help. -Mimi D
Thank you for the excellent preparation you have given Max. I’m really pleased with the results. I know Max enjoyed working with you. -Cindy K.
I just wanted to say thanks so much for everything, and tell you what a lovely time I had talking to you; I’m going to miss your conversation. I hope we meet again some time in the future, you were a blast-of-a-tutor and a truly swell guy. Until then, best wishes from my mom and I - Calla M.
All of my scores went up and I have a 2050. Anyways, thanks for helping me out so much. Hopefully I’ll talk to you soon. - Becca L.
