Congratulations!"

Two-point increase in ACT score worth $37,500

"Marissa, 17, a senior, scored 29 on her first ACT college entrance exam and earned a one-year tuition scholarship. She enrolled in a six-week Sylvan Learning ACT course for under $800. Marissa took the test again and scored a 31. What was her reaction? "She jumped up and started crying. She was emotionally drained. It was such a relief." She earned a four-year scholarship worth $50,000, an additional $37,500."

Jump to I-A from I-AA Program with 200 Point Increase

"I cannot thank you enough for helping raise Vinny's SAT score by 200 points. As you know, he is a swimmer who has an Olympic trial cut and will receive a swim scholarship. However, this new score has opened doors for him to more colleges than what he would have been able to do with his swimming alone. Now I-A schools write him. You have definitely had a huge impact on his bright future! The tuition for the SAT course at Sylvan was well worth every penny. Thank you so very much for your willingness to work with Vinny and his hectic schedule. Words are not enough to express our gratitude. Keep doing what you're doing, because you truely are creating bright futures for our young people."

He scored 217 on the PSAT, which will qualify him for National Merit Semi-Finalist. His SAT score of 1530/1600 led to an invitation to the University of Florida Honors Program.

Sashin Chokshi, one of our National Merit Finalists, enrolls at University of Chicago

"September 2008 - Sashin's own words: "Immediately after I began--at age 4--I was engrossed in both math and reading
programs. By Kindergarten, I was reading chapter books, reciting multiplication tables and asking an infinite number of questions. In sixth grade, I was factoring and applying the quadratic formula, transforming my trip to the Bahamas into an expository essay filled with details, and an argument with my mom became the thesis of my five paragraph persuasive essay. Yet, perhaps the most influential education that I received was SAT Prep. I started to prepare for the Duke TIP in sixth grade. My first SAT practice test was 900 and my SAT for Duke TIP won national recognition with 1260, a 360 point jump. I am now a National Merit Finalist and my "clincher SAT" was 2310. I had a Sylvan math tutor for Algebra through Calculus and always received an A. I have been accepted at 10 top universities and I plan to attend University of Chicago. Thank you Sylvan!"
