Excel Test Prep Reviews

This place is cool. They give you food (if candy counts). Be sure to always ask questions and put effort into the homework and what they teach. The teachers are all pretty legit, so you know you'll be in good hands. 8.5/10 highly recommend

My score improved from this class and the teachers are nice

Excel test prep teaches you techniques that helps you improve your score. The teachers are really nice and enthusiastic about teaching you.

They have good piZza and low price vending machines

Jared is the best teacher. Excel Test Prep is a great way to prepare for the SAT.

It was really fun and the teachers were nice and I learned many helpful things!

Jared and Derek have a really great teaching style for the reading section which is super different from anything I've ever seen. Give them a raise.

it was goose. the reading n writing teachers were super good but like yeah its okay.

Excel has great teachers and I learned very helpful SAT strats

Excel test prep really helped me boost my SAT score. I really enjoyed working with all the teachers especially Andrew.

Took their SAT summer course and the result was a definite score increase. Tips and tricks were very helpful to do well in tests, and some even applied later on during college tests.

What a fun and interactive class! Jared is super fun to have teach you.

EXCEL-lent!!!
Wow so great! So many great people to work with and great instructors!

Jared was very entertaining and made both the reading class and the reading workshop fun.

Overall, i really recommend excel as a test prep source. Not only are the classes fun and enjoyable, they really help improve your test scores.

Advice to students: make the most of exam club while in your time as excel

Excellent service, caring teachers who really go out of their way to help students.

Tutor(first name start with G) arrived 15 minutes late for no excuse no text or phone calls. He ended our private lesson on time. My kids said he did not learned anything at all. Waste money $120 and time for two hours.

Jared Vineyard is super fun and engaging with his students. Really recommend this course if he is your instructor.
Advice: Take lots of notes in each class.
Best place to get "free" food.

Great teachers that help you increase your sat score.

I really liked Jared s teaching style! His class was really fun, but was also really helpful. Totally recommend it!

The teachers were very helpful in answering questions, and Jared especially was helpful in explaining the reading passages and why certain answers pertained to the passage.

Loved how interactive the class is as well as the tips and tricks. They also offer free services to practice the sat.

Excel has helped me improve my score significantly.

It is very flexible with timings and helpful as well.

The teachers were really nice! Thank you so much :)

Super helpful and a good class! I'd recommend for a friend

Helped me increase my SAT score by a substantial amount. Didn't really help me with math portion as much though, in contrast to the reading and writing.

Excel test prep is very helpful for the most part. Andrew and Derek from the English department of SAT were by far the most helpful instructors. Every class we are given candy, which almost made the lectures more bearable. The math department was pretty helpful too. Only problems I encountered were the fact that you need to type out your whole essay in order for them to grade it (and when they do, they provide zero feedback, just a score), and instructors keep changing, so you might encounter a poor instructor once in a while. You aren t alerted as to who the instructor is and their credentials in advance. Other than that, I was pretty reluctant to sign up for institutionalized, expensive prep but it was worth it for the most part!!

The biggest problem I encountered was the fact that the vending machine is very unreliable, especially for chips. Unfortunately, I encountered too many experiences in which I paid my 75 cents and was not given my Chex mix in return. It was quite the damper on my day.

The classes definitely helped my score. All the teachers are clearly knowledgeable and experts in what they are teaching. My score boosted by 200 points in just a week. They teach you several tips and tricks that I never knew before and I am so happy that I learned those tricks.

Jared Vineyard's class is very engaging, as he always keeps everyone attentive through throwing candy at them. His class is also very fun as we do work while also playing games. Time passes by much faster in his class, and I highly recommend this course.

It was great. I've never seen such type of teaching, which makes learning a fun thing.Mr. Andrew was our first teacher, who set the level of teaching at another level and then it went really well. Also Mr. Doghudge, who taught us mathematics, he really made learning math fun.

Very friendly environment and they kept me fed so that was a bonus. It improved my SAT score and the classes were really helpful. Oh, and the teachers were super nice.

Came here specifically for reading, solid on writing and math. Reading and writing class gives good stuff, math needs work on better explanation.

Excel Test Prep is a great place to prepare yourself for the SAT, ACT, and multiple other standardized tests! I went to Excel last year for SAT practice, and over the course of a few months, I increased my score by 300. They have great instructors who have great strategies while also making class fun and memorable. Every class, they give you free candy and every once in a while, a pizza party. And even after you're done with taking classes, you can participate in Exam Club, where students can exclusively take practice tests, or go to a Group Tutorial Session for extra help. With a combination of the three ways you can study with Excel, I was able to get a decent score while having fun. One last thing I'd like to add is that personally, I thought Excel was really flexible. Other test prep companies have SAT boot camps that last the entire summer 5 days a week, which in my case didn't fit with the other things I had to do during my summer. With Excel, I had a four week (three days each week) course with classes, and then I was able to create my own SAT study plan by choosing when to attend Exam Club and Group Tutorial Sessions, which only provide extra practice instead of just repeating the same stuff they taught you in classes.

On another note if you think Excel sounds great and you want to sign up then use the code VG040 to get $25 off any course you sign up for! Hope it helps!

Excel was a really good experience for me because it helped me focus on specific parts of the SAT.

Excel test prep helped me so much and was extremely useful! The teachers are engaging and made my SAT course fun and helpful.

Review of Jared. Before this class I took test prep online and it wasn t at all working for me. This class is great and very interactive. Even with a 2-5 schedule and wanting to sleep during that time, this class is great.

Excel's Exam club is a one-of-a-kind service! Extremely useful for practicing for any standardized test, as they have a ton of practice problems to help with all test categories.

$25 off registration code : NU008 - No expiration date, good for all type of Excel Test Prep Center in class and online courses, including SAT, PSAT, ACT, SAT II Subject, AP, EIT/FE, PE, GMAT, GRE.

The math teachers did not go through the content properly and seemed to be indifferent to the class. Free food though.

they dont give you much feedback on essays but other than that its p good!

Raman and Saumya were the best. The review sessions with them were so helpful.

I raised my score 200 points! I recommend it to everyone wanting to feel confident taking the SAT.

Jared is great everyone come to excel he throws candy at you it s the best and some advice don t eat breakfast sometimes cause they get pizza :)

Good! Was very satisfied with the essay, reading, and literature classes. However, math classes need a little bit of improvement.

We did pushups and prep
My score improved by 5 points

Overall, the class was fun, but informational. I learned a lot about specific techniques to help pace myself and finish with an ample amount of time to recheck my work. Additionally, the reading and writing techniques and rules that were taught were essential in helping me boost my scores by 200 points. Only issue is the extensiveness of the summer intensive course, which lasts all of summer. A lot of the classes seemed unnecessary and could have been focused on more workshops or reviews for the SAT subjects.

The English teachers were especially engaging and effective. However, one the math instructors did not seem to know how to manage the class and looked as if she just read off the handbook.

SAT prep course was useful for Reading and Writing but could have been better for the Essay (more practice should be provided, better understanding of the template). More prep should probably be done outside of the class to truly get ready for the SAT.

The teachers individually with each student to answer questions and discuss essay strategies, even in group sessions. The drills and practice really help us understand errors and how to fix them. The practice exams were great simulations and they helped me with managing time and accuracy.

The SIT course helped me boost my score.

Jared is a cool dude, taught us some SAT reading, pitted us against each other in a battle to the death of paper ball throwing, he's got some great humor.

Andrew effectively taught the material and prepared us for the English sections of the test. He was entertaining but still explained all of the material thoroughly.

Excel test prep was pretty helpful and it allowed me to improve my SAT score by a good amount.

Jared is a very good and entertaining teacher that keeps the class involved

Overall the prep was not very helpful. I was able to do better with simple online prep with some assistance from some books. Would not recommend. Not worth a dime.

Excel provides a surplus of material for students to practice for the SAT. The teachers were very thorough and informative, but also made the class fun. The tutors, Tarun and Ramen, also aided the class during exam review and made sure students understood their mistakes.

Jared was a really great teacher for SAT Reading Workshop. He made time pass by very quickly and made learning strategies fun throughout the 3 hour class.

Jared vineyard is a very nice teacher. Chill guy and teaches very well. Really engaging.

The Excel course was definitely helpful and aided me in scoring well on the SAT. I would definitely reccomend that future students take advantage of the resources that Excel provides such as Exam Club and individualized 1 on 1 tutoring, as these helped me the most during and after the course.

Excel uses a variety of instructors to teach different topics regarding the SAT, each with their own unique teaching style. While some instructors might not necessarily be the best for your style of learning, most of them are entertaining people with a lot to teach. There are lots of opportunities to practice applying your knowledge, if you re not good at pushing yourself to practice on your own. I was in the intensive course, which entails a total of 9 practice tests, sometimes multiple tests in a week. Overall, it s rather informative, but testing is frequent. I do feel that their Math instruction was a lot more specific and effective, whereas their instruction with English instruction mostly dealt with vaguer tips dealing with how to tackle the test.

Incredible place. Period. My score improved massively in just a span of over a month. The teachers are great, and as a bonus they give out candy each class and pizza sometimes too. This class is totally worth your money and time. I highly reccomend this class to anyone wanting to improve your SAT,ACT, AP, or any other test scores you want to improve.

I thought that the review was useful in some ways. Going over each particular problem was useful but I feel that if the class was more disciplined and intensive then we would learn more.
