The Excel Progran was more fun than I expected. The program helped improve my score by 200. My favorite teacher was Jared who s in the English Department. He interacted with many of the students and actually taught us a lot. Overall the excel is very helpful plus you get candy, pizza, and prizes.

Loved their SAT preparation program - not only was it extremely focused and result-oriented, but it was also extremely entertaining. In fact, several teachers were funny enough to be called comedians. Definitely never a dull moment in their program. Helped me get to a 1590

During the Test Correction classes, Saumya was very helpful and motivating. Even when our class was demotivated, she gave us a speech and encouraged us to keep working hard. Even though I took the 4 hour class which may seem exhausting, Saumya made the class fun and helped us get through the class while also teaching us lot.

Taking the excel SAT summer intensive was really helpful towards my goals and strategies for taking the SAT. I gained more confidence in my ability to earn a higher score every practice exam and I recommend the course to anyone considering taking the SAT.

I learned a lot from Andrew. He was not a boring teacher who would make you look at your books for 4 hours. He cracked jokes, made the class interesting, and was truly an amazing person himself.

Fun.

I took this class when I was in high school and my score went up approximately 300-400 points. It was really helpful and I recommend starting SAT perpetration ASAP. As soon as you finish geometry in high school (which is usually 9th or 10th grade) you're ready to take Excel's prep course over the summer then take the SAT in fall. The core classroom course is a great option and all the materials are included in the course price, along with 6 months of additional practice after the course ends. I would highly recommend this course.

Excel Test Prep is the best SAT prep school for quick results. They have great teachers who manage to mix in fun and learning very well. They have great effective techniques to help you improve your score. Ps if u get Jared or Andrew, you're set.

Jared, Andrew, and Dokhujay definitely made arch class that they taught fun and exciting, but be wary of Divya and don't get on her bad side. This class definitely outlined an amazing set of tips and tricks to tackle the SAT. Oh yeah, did I mention that they give candy and/or pizza EVERY class...

I'm just going to say that I had a great time learning here. I was able to up my score by at least 100 points and to be totally honest, it was obviously because of the teachers. The reason I put five stars was because they lived up to what they said. The teaching is great, meaning the teachers are great.

The Excel program is very effective and a really fun environment to be in. I took it in the San Mateo location and really enjoyed my time. The teachers are awesome and helpful and they give candy each class! 10/10 would recommend!

I was quite nervous coming in the first day, by the teachers eased the tension and made sure we understood the lessons in an interesting way. I would not be prepared whatsoever for the SAT exam without Excel. The classes even helped prepare me for the next school year.

Adam was great and he would make the course more interesting. I also learned many new aspects in math and reading. This course taught me many new tips that will help me get a higher score on the SAT.

Excel was a really great experience. My score improved by over 200 points after the class. I also missed 3 classes but excel was very flexible and I got makeups for all of them. Overall very good.

Excel test prep is a great way to gain structured, effective preparation for the SAT. The instructors are qualified but relaxed and classes were generally engaging. They covered lots of interesting content and tips, much of which I may not necessarily have devised on my own for increasing accuracy and efficiency on the SAT. I was fortunate to score very highly on the SAT and excel test prep was essential in improving my critical reading performance in particular; the opportunity to take practice exams as part of exam club was also very helpful.

I think Excel Test Prep has mastered the art of teaching test prep courses. I learned more from them than from my one on one tutor! My score improved from 1700-2200! In less than a month of classes.

I am extremely disappointed with Excel Test Prep. My son did SAT preparation test and attempted SAT & ACT papers. Google doesn't allow zero star so I have to select 1 star. I have spent lot of money but here is summary :
- Their computerized system of corrections doesn't work so the final correction will say lot of omits. This way your score in the internal tests is always lower. You won't have clear picture on weak areas and where student need to work
- If you call these folks, they will say that probably student left it by mistake and will hush it up.

I heard this explanation couple of times and had argument with my son. Finally, he took pictures of final answer sheet. To my surprise, they had more then 25 omits in complete test paper.When I called the customer service and complained, Their first response was that the student has omitted it. I told them I have picture of answer sheet and corrections doesn't look right. The customer rep got more defensive and told me that my son is not supposed to take picture and this can result in banning him from the center.

This happened consistently with my son for three times. He was doing test fine using books but will always get lower score in excel test prep because of omissions. The customer service is very unresponsive.

I am looking for another center if anybody has good experience, please let me know.

Excel test prep really helped me improve my SAT score and gave me tips on each of the sections in the exam. They also have a wide variety of practice tests for tests such as the SAT and AP exams and they also supply us with Collegeboard material which is very helpful. They also provide us with snacks, candies, and pizza which is awesome. BANANAS!!!!

During my Summer Intense Course, Raman and Saumya were amazing teachers and made the exam sessions very fun and engaged the class thoughout the error tracking. Their personalities always influenced the class in a positive way and I loved being with them. Thank you!!

Brilliant teachers who really help you "excel!" I took the ACT course here and also bought exam club -- two decisions I am so thankful for. The staff was kind and always provided me with timely essay feedback. The website is also super helpful for students, as it is well designed and super user friendly. I would recommend Excel Test Prep to everyone seeking a high test score.

Excel test prep was good for some stuff like English. But overall I don't think I learned much otherwise. They fed us a lot of candy and pizza and I do think my score improved but maybe it's because they made the tests easier each time. Also I feel like the essay writing was okay. They made way too much money off of throwing candy at people. If you were motivated enough Khan academy would be a good enough resource. Also the candy choice was good for the first day but then they gave us some disgusting stuff.

Raman and Saumya were great teachers that helped us improve our scores by many points. They gave us helpful tips on college and were helpful in the exam review. Thanks to them, I thouroughly enjoyed my time at Excel and learned many useful tips for the SAT.

Jared is a really fun and helpful as a teacher. One advice for students is to always ask questions whether it's during or after class. It's more beneficial to get help for questions you don't understand.
