Excel Test Prep Review

Before Excel, I had no idea about what I would see on the SAT, nor was I willing to find out. Going here made me comfortable with the test and the prospect of taking it a lot less overwhelming.

Diagnostic score: 1650, Real SAT score: 2150. Excel helped me improve a lot with their useful strategies. The instructors are really nice, and they give you cookies, candy, and pizza. When you sign up for a SAT/PSAT course, they give you a free Collegeboard SAT Study Guide. Once your course is over, you can come back for free for 6 months to take practice tests (known as the Exam Club) and you also get 6 free Group Tutorials (writing, verbal/critical reading, and math) which reviews concepts that were taught in class. In addition, after taking this course, if you score a 2400 on the real SAT, Excel will give you a $1000 scholarship. If you are interested in trying this course, use Coupon Code: EN006 to save $25 off your SAT/PSAT course. (coupon never expires and you and your friends can use the same coupon code).

Excel test prep has been very beneficial for me and it has provided lots of support in excelling through the SAT.

Excel was fun
Good teachers and excellent materials are the key to success. Highly recommended to everyone who wants their scores to increase quickly.

It was a helpful course to take. I learned a lot and the teachers were really fun!

The class was really beneficial to my learning and understanding of the content that will be on the SAT. The teachers/instructors were all really helpful.

Jared is a great teacher. Recommend taking the class

Specifically pertaining to my English teacher, Jared, he was very good at teaching and making it fun in the class.

Excel has hleped me improve my score and has given me many rules for reading and writing. It also provided us with multiple equations for different math problems. All the teachers were helpful and were willing to help us with any problems we had.

The tests are a little easier than the real SAT, but good tricks and pretty fun

They gave amazing incentives and teachers are very good.

Excell was a great help in raising my SAT score. I had already prepared all I could on my own, and Excell's great teachers took me the rest of the way. I would recommend their SAT and Exam Club programs.

Excel s program is really nice because they provided a lot of practice exams and lots of drills that prepared us really well for the SAT.

The Excel Test Program allowed me to greatly improve my score and taught me many tips to improve my test taking skills. The teachers are great and made the whole experience enjoyable.

Excel Test Prep helped me increase my SAT test scores through their great teachers amd outstanding prep material. I would highly recommend their test preparation program for anyone who wants to increase their test score.

Excel Test Prep really helped me improve my scores! Their program is great, but it's most effective if you also take practice tests through Exam Club to retain what they teach you.

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.

The course that I took were very interesting and informative.

Learning experience was really good. Helped me Improve my score.

Jared D. Vineyard was very nice and taught us very well. I learned a lot.

Jared made the reading section really fun and I loved the class.

What's good about Excel is that they aren't too strict. Every time I went to my class, the teacher was always fun. Either they made short conversations with the students or were just fun in their own way. They're also really good at teaching well. :)

Jared was an awesome, interactive instructor who helped us improve on the SAT reading portion. Overall, it's a great class within the course!

Excel teaches helpful ways to improve your SAT score.

Saumya is the best teacher at Excel. She really knows how to effectively run an SAT class. Saumya is great with students and gives us helpful advice about SAT concepts and testing. SAUMYA IS THE BEST!!!!

Good SAT prep course, clear, concise, and most importantly, doesn t get boring after a few minutes. If you get Adam as the instructor for math courses, you re in luck! Askari too.

As a past student, I highly recommend taking advantage of exam clubs because it helped improve my test taking skills in many ways. I also appreciate how teachers taught us tricks to get through each subject. I definitely recommend coming to excel text prep!!

The classes are good, they go over various tips and tricks to improve your scores. I saw a significant improvement in my test scores after taking this class. Most of the teachers were good.

Jared-
Good advice and strategies

Use code RD065 for $25 off any Excel Course! Excel helped me improve my score by 300+ points.

I liked how the teachers taught us and I recommend it for anyone looking for SAT test prep.

At excel test prep I learned a lot of stuff here increasing my score 200 each week. Really helpful no regrets

My English teacher, Jared was awesome! Not only make the class fun and interested he taught me many tricks to excel on the SAT. I recommend this course for anyone who is not a good standardized tester. I promise it will greatly increase your score!

The company is very open to help you increase your score in every section. Excel has a variety of teachers that take a step by step process to help you identify and learn which answers to take. It's a great company and it really helps. Would recommend for your kids.

The two week course seems plenty for a student to grasp the way to approach each question but like anything it boils down to practice. That's what will determine how much you will increase your score.

Really helped with the sat and the teacher are nice people that make this course fun :^)

Jared Vineyards class was really fun and entertaining!

The tips and tricks given by Excel were really helpful, but I wanted more practice tests to improve my score. The essay instruction was very weak and was not helpful at all.

Jared is a very quirky and interactive teachers and somehow managed to make grammar interesting

My score from the first to the last test improved 200 points. Excel has definitely improved my score and I recommend it as an SAT course to take.

Excel test prep was a great preparatory course that I took a few years ago. I entered the course not knowing much about the SAT or ACT. I took the summer intensive course and learned a lot in just that small amount of time. The teachers were very friendly and available to talk to. The pressure of getting into a good college majorly comes from doing well on the SAT and excel helped me ease that pressure and stress to focus on actually learning and therefore doing well on the exam. Some advice for students taking the exam would be to listen attentively in the classrooms during workshops and take the practice exams like the real ones to ensure your best performance on the actual test!

this place is cool and they have good food. 10/10 would recommend

I've taken countless SAT prep courses across the bay area from obscure ones like "James", "Nancy" (Creekside) to popular ones like Elite and Flex. While I can't say that none of these helped, I can say that Excel was the final test prep center that gave me the 70 points I needed to get my 2320 (old SAT). The teachers and the curriculum here are professional and comprehensive, and I heavily recommend students take Excel before considering any other test prep; it is very likely that this will be the only one that students will have to take.

In the last weeks, the teacher employs the use of bribery and other methods to make us write this review. Writing as a reaction to his/her concern that students should earn higher scores on the SAT, the owner argues that to reverse the trend we must use bribery and exterminate all forms of pleasure and time pass. They have done this by setting 4 hour daily classes and deployed carefully placed advertisements and cunningly spread good reviews through word of mouth. These have somehow reached our unsuspecting parents, who forced us to join this course. In delivering this powerful course, the owner employs strong logical and emotional connections and established real world foundations for her and his point. Pls send help... or pizza. 2/10 would come again.

it was very engaging in terms of the English but the math was lacking greatly but great job to the English teachers.

I had a great time and learned a whole lot in a short amount of time. My score didn't grow as high as I wanted but still improved noticeably in a short time period. I would reccomend this course to anyone who has never had coaching before.

andrew was a good teacher but 5/5 would be absolute and he wasn't perfect

The two week crash course may have helped me, but it was not worth it. The teachers weren t all that enthusiastic. One of the teachers I had said multiple times that he really didn t want to be there. A couple other teachers seemed like they didn t know what they were doing. The random fitness class next door was extremely loud, especially on Saturdays, which is when we had the practice exams. Overall, the minimal help was not worth the expense and my time.

Great interesting class, was very helpful in preparing me.

Excel also has great teachers.

The teachers here are all really helpful and actually know what they re talking about. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn more and improve their score.

very very helpful for SAT prep and teaches us a lot about the SAT and certain tricks

Really interesting, make boring topics interestingly and fun

I would recommend this program, it helped me derive better test taking strategies and improved my confidence greatly. The teachers were amazing and definitely made the program great.

I need these points to win a game to win a plastic bottle, so thanks so much Jared for your amazing class and nice pizza

Excel had a lot of material and taught me a lot of tips to help with my SATs. My score improved more than 300 points in a month, but they give you harder tests in the beginning of the course and easier ones towards the middle so that your score improves..bad strategy. They also make it a point to give you candy everyday and pizza occasionally which is great! But one major downside is that in a 4 hour class, we have almost 45 mins break time. Also, during the SAT tests we take during the class, we always started like 10 mins late, so we didn t have enough time to finish our essays. Overall, it was a great experience but it could have been a whole lot more efficient. ;)

My experience at Excel Test Prep was great! The teachers are very caring. They also do a great job at explaining each topic by providing you the set of tools you need to do well on the SAT.

I highly recommend this program for any high school student who is looking to achieve their full potential and gain acceptance to a great college.

Raman and Saumya were very helpful in explaining the questions and why the right answer is actually right. Excel as a whole was a very helpful experience but everyone would have benefited from more reading classes.

Adam was very engaging and gave detailed information on how to tackle every problem! Loved his classes!

chris is the best person in the world and he thinks disneyland is in san francisco so five stars

Great program for people looking to increase their sat score. The teachers are super nice and helpful.

Amazing place, great vending machine... And guess what I learnt a lot. Love it.

I took an Excel class during the summer of 2014. During that time, the scores that I was receiving were not satisfactory for me. After taking the class, my scores improved tremendously to the point where I was very satisfied with the classes. More than the classes though, Excel provides Exam Club which I feel is tremendously important and useful.

Mr. Vineyard is a very engaging teacher and really fun. Future students:if you put your 100% into this class, you can actually learn a lot for any sort of test.

Excel was great, they provide useful materials and has qualified teachers that will help maximize your score

Excel helped me raise my practice score from a 1100 to a 1540. There are quite helpful in terms of learning all techniques and concepts.

I thought Excel was helpful, but I would have liked a little more workshops and classes.

The test taking strategies that excel provided helped me a lot especially for the reading section for the SAT.

pretty dope class, "dope"hudje is a beast lol and this andrew kid is too much of a bro

Some advice for the SAT I would suggest is to always review the mistakes made on practice tests and drill concepts in areas where mistakes have been made. In order to understand mistakes made on practice tests, it is important to catalog all incorrect answers. In this way, you will be able to detect error patterns and work on targeting areas of difficulty.

Overall, the class was pretty laid back, so I didn't always hate going to class like some of my other friends did for another program. Even with the relaxed mood, I still was able to increase my score by over 100 points.

Jared combined a good use of academics and fun to keep everyone excited throughout class

I expected the class to be boring but the teachers were actually very interactive and funny. Jared and Doghudje were both very funny and made the class laugh.

The teachers are very interactive and helpful. They help out with all issues school, SAT, or college. Emil and Khoa helped me with college talks and questions about life in general. I would recommend taking this course, free candy, relatable teachers and helpful content!

During my 6 weeks at excel, I learnt so much more than I ever would have expected about the Sat. All the teachers were extremely humerous and nice. They also gave us a lot of food which I appreciated.

This place was very helpful, my score did increased more than I thought it would. There are many amazing teachers who taught different techniques that helps a lot.

Adam is really nice, helpful, and makes the class entertaining.

Jared is a great English teacher. He entertains the class and teaches his students very well.
