I take the ACT prep classes, it would depend on which course you decide to take.

Firstly to provide some info, the prep classes provide candy snacks to give the students energy. I'm often wary of stuff, so if you may sometimes notice that the snacks have already passed their expiration date.

Secondly, the exams were unprofessional in a sense. But it's tolerable. Like there's no clocks for students to time themselves. The proctors often don't wait for the students to open their books before starting the time.

Thirdly, schedule changes often happens. I prep myself the day before to find myself confused as to why there's a different subject the said day.

This is my personal opinion, but there's a bench outside the building. Waiting in the lounge is an option, but for those who like it outside is often uncomfortable because of the sunny heat. What is the purpose of the bench, if you can't sit? I'm just saying it would be great to provide a canopy above the bench outside.

The walls are very thin, so when students are doing practice questions, the other room sometimes gets really loud.

But not everything is bad.
The teachers are full of energy, and are willing to explain to the students at which area the students made the mistakes.

I would actually prefer of the teachers would try to make it more fun. Like playing music during break. Like make studying fun by making games during class.

And there's not enough homework to actually study with. I liked how this one teacher made a packet for the students, which was separate from the books they had given.

Excel isn't a good place in all ways. They rip people off and their teaching material is very basic. Things that can be done there can also be done at home. A lot of the tutors and teachers are nice though. I just hate you they rip people off in so many ways.

What makes Excel different and better from other test prep centers is that not only do they focus on strategy, but they provide you with numerous resources to practice. The teachers are great at helping you learn the basic foundation, and also make sure to help you out with speed and accuracy, which I think is the most important part when taking standardized tests. Take full advantage of their exam club. Excel helped me get a 36 on the ACT because I could take as many practice tests as I needed, and my instructors always made sure to talk me through my mistakes. Would highly recommend!

Amazing place for SAT preparation, where all resources and tools needed for a perfect 1600/99th percentile score are provided. Exam Club is one such amazing resource where hundreds of exams are available for realistic timed practice test-taking. Their translation techniques for reading passages are another unique difference maker. Highly recommended!

I completely loved this course. I took the four week SAT prep and I learned so much. I increased my SAT grade by 250 points. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to increase their SAT score. I especially liked the teacher named Andrew. He was a great and funny teacher.

In the Passionate Test Prep, Excel, by the respected owners, the ceo and his or her team convincingly aspires and pushes the team to score higher SAT Scores and that this trend is a severe problem with broad consequences. The owners effectively and steadfastly builds the argument by using a variety of persuasive and argumentative rhetorical techniques including but not limited to specific and convincing exams, repetitive breaks, and a careful choice of candy bribery.

I think the educational aspect of Excel test prep is good. They teach you a lot and make sure you really stay on top of the work. If anything was wrong I would say that the location could be a little better. It is often noisy and the room doesn't provide all the resources that are necessary. However overall excel test prep really helped!

Jared's instruction not only honed my SAT reading skills, but also changed my entire outlook on Life. I wouldn't consider Jared an instructor, rather a philosopher on par with Socrates. I would not be surprised if on my SAT I recieved a passage about Jared. Even if you aren't taking any tests, I HIGHLY reccomend attending Jared's classes.

I really enjoyed my experience with Excel! The classes were very good about giving us practice resources and keeping students engaged with games, prizes, and food. The teachers were always excited and the multitude of exams and practice sessions really helped me not only hone my skills for the exam but also become more confident in my abilities taking the test.

I went to excel test prep this summer and it is by far one of the best sat prep classes I have taken (I took elite last winter break). They provide pizza really often and candy during all classes. However, I think that there should be more English classes that focus more on the writing or reading section of the sat instead of having so much emphasis on math classes that repeat similar information. Overall, I would recommend excel test prep to another student.

To those who take the ACT and the SAT, make sure to take plenty of timed practice tests and previous examinations on the test websites in order to learn what you need to work on. Then study these tough concepts with textbooks from companies such as Kaplan, and tutoring companies such as Excel Test Prep. Only once you are confident in your abilities should you take the test.

This class was a great way to bump up my SAT score, and it also helped me gain skills in reading and writing that I can use in school as well. The teachers are great and humorous and they tailor the learning to the students, so no one is left behind not understanding a topic.

My experience with Excel Test prep has been fairly enjoyable! The teachers are extremely knowledgeable in their subject matter, make the classes fun and engaging, and reveal tips, tricks, methods, and templates that you won't be able to find in any prep book.

I only wish that they placed less emphasis on math. For my personal experience, math was much easier to grasp because the formulas were pretty black and white. I had hoped for more classes on the reading, writing, and essay portions of the SAT as those are more in the gray area.

Overall, though, I am happy with the results as I had a 200 point increase on the SAT, and am definitely more confident in taking this important test.

Excel was a great program. It brought my score up and I also came out of the program with some of my current best friends. I took the Summer Intensive Course and had a great experience.

Let me put it like this; what I loved about Excel's PE prep class is that it taught me to pass the test. It didn't teach me civil engineering, it taught me how to answer the questions and solve the problems that are put forward on the 8-hour exam and gave me the notes to refer to during the exam that I needed to pass.

The building is always really well air-conditioned! The teachers are all super enthusiastic and make the 3 hour long class bearable with candy, jokes, frequent breaks, etc. Our English teacher, Jared, was always keeping the class humorous and keeping everyone engaged!

Doing our English Workshop with instructor, Mr Jared, was a really good experience. There were a lot of jokes which made the class really entertaining with a game after every passage. His teaching method was also really good. Going over all the answers and explaining in detail why the other answers were wrong. Overall, it was a really great experience.
